Terror dog (SciiFii)

The terror dog (Pavorcanidraco subrepstis), also more accurately known as the terror dragon, is a species of reptile, closely related to the lizards, with the monitor lizards being its closest living non-dragon relative, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii due to demand for more varieties of exotic zoo animals and was inspired by the fictional Ghostbusters monsters of the same name. The closest living relatives of the terror dogs are eastern dragons (Colossidraco longi). The terror dog is a large animal, growing to be about 9.8 feet (3 meters) in length and weighing between 375-600 lb (170-272 kilograms). The terror dogs are gray-colored, akin to a hippopotamus's coloration, and bulky in build and having short tails, resembling somewhat like reptilian dogs, but have vaguely Carnotaurus-like horns, which are larger in males than females, and the muscular necks, which are used in fighting conspecifics similarly to Carnotaurus. Unlike the fictional Ghostbusters terror dogs, the real life terror dogs are normal animals with green eyes containing black, circular pupils and do not have supernatural powers of their movie counterparts. The terror dogs are carnivores and will feed on any carrion and animals either its size or smaller, however, they may resort to eating dog or cat food when there is no carrion or live animals available. The terror dogs are primarily solitary animals throughout their their lives except during the breeding seasons. Terror dogs lay between 10-30 eggs, which resemble crocodilian eggs, in just a month after mating and the babies hatch around 2 months. The hatchlings are cared for by their mothers, who will feed their young meat, similarly to carnivorous dinosaurs (including carnivorous birds), until they're about 1-2 years old when they're almost fully grown. Terror dogs have a long lifespan of between 40 and 60 years on average.
