This is Fiona's first design, our first idea was a polar bear mixed with a saber tooth tiger but we scrapped that idea. Fiona added horns that we decided to use.

This is Mia's first design, we decided to use her idea of the tusks because they are very efficient.

This is Lina's first design of the creature, we decided to use her idea of the spikey tail.

This is our final design, it shows how its tail works, paws and its other features. Lina drew it.
