a lot more on the sketchy side for a reference, but i think this is p much it for scav’s design! theyve been a character ive actually been thinking about for a long long time, a mascot of sorts i was hoping to use for uh, coughs, some of my niche fetish nsfw artwork i guess haha

anyways, Scavenger, or just Scav for short, is a dilophosaurus wetherilli whose plumage and coloration are heavily based upon modern cassowaries. they also have a wattle that changes color intensity with blood flow. theres no real hard evidence yet that dilos had feathers (unless you count the infamous butt print fossil which was still inconclusive at best) but honestly im of the park who would think they did have feathers

regardless, a lot of artistic liberties were taken with this interpretation, obvious furry fandom influences aside, and i did not make this fella to be a plausible scientific representation of the species even though i still want it to be recognizable as a dilophosaurus. they are a character for fun and games first and foremost and theyll stay that way

uhh aside from that im still working on their character at least! they are kind of a glutton and a jerk, but not a complete asshole. theyre an opportunistic predator for sure and live up to their name. scav doesnt really have a determined gender, but they/them or she/her pronouns work just fine
