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.
