== Appearance ==
The is a creature with wing-like ornamental fins reminiscent of butterflies or paper kites. Its general body plan is that of a long, sloping theropod, but features two longer forelegs that make it quadrupedal. It has a theropod head with two fin-like protrusions sloping down from its jaw, as well as two antenna-like protuberances which extend over the body. Its shaggy neck is moderately long. On its back is a large, rounded hindwing, with the trailing edge elongated in the fashion of a Swallowtail butterfly. This also appears on its forelimbs, which also feature a paired forewing and a hindwing. Per foot, it has three digits for locomotion and a fourth, much more prominent claw turned upwards, presumably for attack. Though having a long tail, its true tail seems to terminate about halfway and the length is continued by an ornate extrusion, a plated pattern that ends in another swallowtail-like hindwing.
=== Males ===
Males have a slightly sharper chin.
=== Females ===

=== Pros ===
The is a terrestrial carnivore with a decent/average amount of speed for its tier, along with decent base stats. Its appetite amount is okay, but not high enough to the point where players can go idle for long periods of time. is very agile, with a turn rate which is much higher than players would expect in its tier, and a decent sprint speed allowing it to outmaneuver most if not all creatures larger or smaller than it. gains a 50% speed boost when ambushing, being able to outrun its quarry, and its turn rate makes it an excellent ambush predator. has an average amount of stamina regeneration and medium-high amount of stamina, adding to it already being an excellent ambush/pursuit predator weather day or night.
The bite effects of are deadly, containing a guaranteed ligament tear, a decent amount of bleed and toxin, as well as Serrated Teeth- combined makes this creature a force to be reckoned with. Bleed and toxin nullifying healing, and serrated teeth make the bleed agonizingly slower to heal which is not ideal in combat situations when faced with a , ligament tear will slow down the target it is pursuing, making running from the hunter futile. Being bitten too many times will have severe consequences- can pack a punch with its good damage and bite effects, you can easily get tons of bleed and toxin in a few bites, biting the creature will add poison to the mix, making it all the more deadlier.
It has excellent nightvision, which lets it roam at night without problem. Although this makes it the most vulnerable to nightvision-nerf abilities, such as Night Stalker, it also helps it pinpoint where the creature with such an ability is.
=== Cons ===
’s weight stat is low for its tier and can be placed with the higher-up tier 2s with its weight numbers, its health is also slightly low for its tier even though its status effects make up for it.
This section is a work-in-progress and will be filled over time.
