I know Thanator is a well loved creature from the Avatar universe, but did you know there's different species? I combined the movie Thanator with a Petrified Forest Thanator for this one!

This was a tough one to draw, body wise. They're so lean yet muscular

Artists are mean and scary though and they eat their fans for dinner in a large cauldron with cut carrots and potatoes

I went to see Avatar Way of Water on Saturday and I still wept at how beautiful the world is- and I still weep that the Tulkun have zero figures whatsoever

I saw it! I cant believe that is the only physical rendition of it. We even have a remote toy of the predator fish

★Jay ✩ Funkiest Bug @erujayy.bsky.social · 2d

I saw the special preview that played at the end of way of water! Though im trying to be as spoiler free as I can be

The last of the giant flower beetle saga...

Mecynorrhina Ugandesis

The very first one I ever reared, although they were a black-orange variant. I think the blue-pink is so iconic on them though
