Part of an "Alien Bestiary" I've been working on. This creature has some of the anatomy present in modern day mammals like the aforementioned gorilla, as well as a porcupine; which can be seen in the quills used for self defence. Wanted to use these aspects to give it an added level of reality and believability.
It feeds using a fleshy feeding proboscis which is concealed beneath the bony growths at its head to keep it protected when feeding.
Hope you guys enjoy.
