The Midnight-Maned Pummel-Horn is a species of flightless, terrestrial griffin native to the continent of Arcadia. They are by far the most common herbivore within the 3-5 ton weight class. These beasts travel through the open grasslands in small herds in search of edible plants.

Their name comes from the thick, feathery mane which provides good protection against most predators, as well as the blunt, antler-like horns which are used both for defense and during the mating season.

Towards the end of every dry season, they gather in larger groups to lay eggs and collectively guard them against nest raiders. They choose the end of the dry season to brood so that the chicks hatch at the exact moment when there is plenty of fresh greenery all around them.

Yet another remake, but heck, this guy REALLY needed one. And now it looks much closer to the very first version of its design which was arguably the best one, especially in terms of its color palette... that and the new, tiny wings add a bit of charm to the overall design (better showing that this creature once, in the distant past, was capable of flight)
