Description
Made for the critter creation contest over atI had most of this drawn out the day the contest was posted. The challenge got my creative juices going right away. I felt bad about entering though, small contests are the ones where the little guy has a chance of wining, and I feel bad taking that away from someone. So I have sat on this until the last minute, and I may be to late to enter anyway... even though this was practically done a month ago.
I didn't have enough space on the ref sheet to fit all the details in, so the list of characteristics from the contest will fill in the rest of the information.

kinda reminds me of the black creature from Avatar. This is very well done! Awesome!.....Did you get any inspiration from Avatar? just curious....

I appreciate your comment and your praise. I'm not trying to sound snarky, but I will be blunt...
This has absolutely nothing to do with Avatar. In the artist comments you can see that the creature was required to have 6 legs among other traits. Not everything with 6 legs is related to Avatar, things with 6 legs have been drawn for years previous to that movie. In the future it may be a good idea to read the description before comparing a creature to something in Avatar, it has become a sore spot for many creature artists, because comparing things to something like Avatar devalues their creativity.

Not everything with 6 legs is from avatar

Doesn't look very friendly. Yes, you could try to put a saddle on it, if you're willing to part with a few body parts in the process.

Oh yeah, they could take one massive chunk outta you with those beaks, ouchy!!
