Other info: Dilphen commonly leave in lush, green, tropical areas where their bright green scales and yellow are well camouflaged. The retractable fins they commonly keep closed against themselves are defensive and offensive mechanisms. The Dilphen can use it to surprise a predator and escape, or to stun prey and kill them. The best way they do this is by hiding themselves in greenery, then when prey come meandering over curiously, WHAM!!!...the fins fly open. Dilphen are the only known predator of the Aquaen Nychus so far, as they manage to successfully lure them out of their water sources.

While Dilphen meat is delectable, and their fins are usable in crafts, it is a dangerous act to hunt them. Dilphen may be hard to pin down due to their anti-predator method, but many know when they’re being hunted. At this point, they use the hunter…turning them into the hunted…especially if one Dilphen manages to lure a hunter into a nest full of other Dilphen.

This handsome varmint is one of my faves! Why? Cause some of my Creatures are based of these figures I have. 2 down, like, 6 to go. :3 This one actually wasn't too hard! :D The only parts that gave me real trouble were the feet. The hands did a little, but only cause I thought how they came out were pretty good for the creature itself, if ya know what I mean. X3
