"[color=#2c3635][size=x-small][font=Verdana, sans-serif]Much like my last upload featured organisms too small to depict in a bestiarium entry with other larger animals, the creatures depicted here are mostly too big to fit into a regular piece.



-The coastal waters of Africa and the flooded mangrove forests are infested by these dark-skinned marine hippos. Unlike their amphibious cousins, they are a lot more streamlined and are able to reach astounding speeds when under water. Should someone ever find themselves in waters infested by these hunters, their only chance is to get to land as the marine hippos’ legs are too feeble to support their weight for too long.

-I only got a quick glimpse of this jetfoil/catamaran orca so the cause and purpose of its strange anatomy remains a mystery.

-This giant green-skinned pterosaur uses the chlorophyll in its wings to gather additional energy from sunlight.

-Inhabiting a giant cave system along with a whole slew of primordial monstrosities, this creature with features from crocodilians and pliosaurs is the largest of them all. It slumbers for prolonged stretches of time, only to wake up with a ravenous hunger that can barely be satiated before it goes back to sleep.Whenever it wakes, the cave system’s other inhabitants try ther best to find a hiding place strong and small enough to evade this monster’s hunger.

-Despite their fearsome appearance, these large dilophosaurid sapients are actually extraordinarily friendly and talk with a charming British accent.

-I only glimpsed the skeleton of one of these humongous paraceratheriums/macrauchenias in a museum and created this reconstruction based on that.

-Living within large gilt framed paintings two of these large bison are trapped in a constant battle, eternally charging at one another, smahsing their heads together for all eternity. 

-Unlike its relatives, this long-necked hippo lives completely away from water. Despite its rather volatile temper, it is often used as a beast of burden by the local people.

-Guardian of the God’s temple, this red dragon with winglets on its lower jaw might seem large but compared to its brother, it is an insect. I would have depicted its brother, oddly named Grasshopper, here too had he not seemingly been made out of pure, incinerating light. The beats of his wings were like thunder, creating winds strong enough to tear down houses. 

-Badly injured, this giant dragon was on the run from the relentless Huntsman. Crashing through the concrete ruins of a destroyed metropolis, it had nowhere to hide from the Huntsman’s arrows. (juniorwoodchuck.deviantart.com…)

-Living in family groups, these eight-winged bird spend their entire lives up in the air. 
-One of the last two owl-like harpies, a powerful shapeshifter." Reply
