Nyssholora

This is a Nyssholora from the Starfinder Alien Archive 2. It's best printed on its back for optimal results, as the arms are quite tricky to manage. Here's a short description from Paizo: Nyssholora Source: Alien Archive 2 pg. 86 Among the most feared and deadly apex predators on Castrovel, a nyssholora is a dinosaur-like monster that roams the wilderness across both Asana and the Colonies. These fearless hunters eat whatever they can catch and kill, plaguing lashuntas and formians enough to figure prominently in the mythology of both species for millennia. A nyssholora resembles a tyrannosaur, standing on its hind legs and counterbalancing its massive head with a long, muscular tail. A nyssholora has a pair of upper appendages with claws that resemble scythe blades, as well as a smaller pair of similar arms the creature uses to mark its territory and communicate its location to offspring, hunting partners, or a mate. A wide maw filled with two rows of fangs dominates the creature's head, and eight beady eyes run in two vertical rows along the bridge of its nose. A wide, flat crest tops its skull, behind which writhe a mass of short, smooth tentacles. A smaller bundle of tentacles tips the nyssholora's tail. These tentacles serve two purposes: first, they help the nyssholora collect energy from the atmosphere; second, they aid the nyssholora in sensing the presence of telepathic prey, including formians and lashuntas. Stealth in the plains is all but impossible for a creature the size of a nyssholora, and it makes little effort to camouflage itself, sporting bright neon striations of yellow and orange across its thick purple or pink hide. I hope you enjoy it! Designed with blender and a lot of patience.
