This is a concept that I’ve been working on for a while. Here I have displayed two Bovyrn, a bull on the right, and cow on the left. These creatures evolved on a harsh world where plate armor and large horns are necessary for survival. I was inspired by the form of the American Bison, as well as some other draconic creatures. To that end, I imagine these beasts to be something like ancient synapsids, with both mammalian and reptilian features, as well as a few avian features, mostly the plumage, as well. A careful eye would notice that these animals are odd toed as opposed to the standard ruminant configuration, I chose these kinds of hooves because these creatures double as a mount, and horse hooves are some of the best designed hooves for a mounted animal, particularly because they can be outfitted with horseshoes. I plan to do more of these “wyrm” chimera creatures in the future.
