Serina: Dragon Attack
Added 2023-02-18 22:35:20 +0000 UTC(Just to reiterate, this was a commission)
A pair of sub-adult regal skulossi forage for aquatic vegetation in the shallows along the fringe of a wetland region somewhere in the Central Soglands. Although they travel in large herds, they often disperse over a wide area to forage more solitarily, and these two have ventured away from the shoreline to try and find tasty, nutrient-rich rhizomes in the deeper mud.
In this age, skuorcs dominate the land, and include among their ranks the largest animals that have ever walked Serina. These huge skulossi are nearly fully grown, their adult colouration has fully developed, and they already weigh nearly ten tonnes a piece, but in this golden age of Serinan biodiversity, there still exist predators large enough enough to threaten them.
This fact is suddenly proven true in a split second, as one wrong step awakens a leviathan lurking in the dark waters; huge, crocodile-like jaws, filled with teeth as big as railroad spikes, spring up with lightning speed to try and snap up the unwary skulossus. This is the undisputed apex predator of the Serinarctan waterways, a river dragon has evolved to gargantuan proportions specifically to hunt the giant skuorcs that now occur in great numbers. With the strength and ferocity to bring down the largest beasts to ever roam the lands, this is a hunter with few equals.
Comments
Skulossi differ from cygnosaurs in numerous respects, such as growth, sociality, habitat preference, and build; they can coexist in a similar way diplodocoids and macronarians did on the Morrison Formation.
