Predator and Prey

[Konahrik]

Okoto has many a wide variety of wildlife, some new and some familiar to a well traveled visitor. Here are two of them, predator and prey, the Okotoan Energy Hound, and the Okoto Rocket bird.

 

 

The Okotoan Energy Hound(s)

The Okoto version of the Energy hound is amphibious, with males having more pronounced gills. Some have been trained by the villagers to help with hunting. Most wild Hounds enjoy the thrill of the hunt and often go after elusive prey such as the Okoto Rocket bird.

The Okoto Rocket bird is a species of supersonic flightless birds that often leave their would be predators in the dust. However, when cornered, their armored claws make formidable weapons. In order to be able to expend as much energy as they do, they must eat foods rich in energy, and thus mainly eat leaves from the fire bush, and ruby racers, a small snake found throughout the region of Okoto.

So I am going to take a stab in the dark and say this is a Wile-E Coyote Vs Roadrunner parody for the Island of Okoto?

Love the legs on the prey and the use of those mixals eyes.

The head on the bird is simply fabulous.

Or it could just be some awesome G2 Rahi MOCs. Predator and prey isn't exactly a cartoon-exclusive concept.

Yeah; while that is true "predator and prey" is far from just a cartoon-exclusive, I just can't help seeing this creation zipping around the Okoto landscape while the Hounds keep getting stuck in their own traps and plots.

These look awesome! But I'm confused about the gills; where are they on the MOC? It's interesting that you've created a species with differences based on physical sex, but I'm just not sure whicy part of the MOC is the gills

I actually had this in mind when I was writing the post, but decided against it. I guess great minds think alike  .

Thank you! The lower legs were actually the last things built, i felt that the black shells were a little too basic and added the lower leg gaurs to add more orange.

The head is what inspired me to make the whole creation, so thank you.

The male is the one with yellow eyes, and the female is the one with orange eyes. The gills on the male is this piece on the lower part of the head. I didn't add any tubes because that really restricted the heads movement.

Indeed they do.

You know I was wondering that myself. I didn't even notice the extra piece until you pointed out what version was male. Add it the image of the piece itself and it becomes one of them snakes that bite when you get too close.

 

The Gills on the male are located just behind the eyes between the head and shoulder. Hard to see if you blink due to it being black, but clearly noticeable once you know where to look.
