Description
These poor creatures are bred to be killing machines. Their ears and tails have been clipped, and a device has been grafted to their spines that injects different chemicals that either calm the beast down or bring it to a frenzy, depending on the Makabari's desires. The natural lifespan of one of these animals is unknown, as none have ever died from old age.Related content

Pretty cool design! Reminds me of the sort of creatures that would show up in the Godzilla Animated Series (1999). Those guys also did Rusty the Boy Robot and Big Guy, which also features some crazy monsters close to your kind. That's good company to be in!

Funny you mention that! Fil Barlow is actually on DA, and I took a class with him! He helped bring one of my characters to life.
He's one hell of a guy, and a big hero of mine, so I'm glad our styles converge

I sure feel bad for 'em, even though these beasties would be used to tear a guy like me to pieces.
I'm glad you like the design!

Heheh, you're not the first to make that connection. They were a big inspiration for this piece.

what else lives on the makabari home world? i had an idea for a kind of bat/rat hyena thingy that would basically be a dragon minus fire breath

I'm thinking most life on their world is either smaller than them or weaker than them, making them by biology a race of bullies.
I like the idea of a creature like that, but it'd have to be fairly small.

Okay how about a swarm species like locusts or pirahnas?

That could work, but I honestly don't think I'll be updating their planet's native species much. They're a race of nomads, their homeworld won't play that big of a part in who they are. The only animals I see as being important would be what they keep as a pet and what they use to fight, such as the little 'monkeys' and the pithounds.

Yeah i guess maybe they could be used as a food sourse or to flash out enemies i dunno

As far as food goes they don't really make their own anymore, they either buy it or take it. For flushing out enemies, I'm thinking they'd just use grenades or flashbombs.
Unlike the Vrok and Kro'Taruk, animals just aren't a big part of their culture.
