Aetophora serracauda

Tokshurnash

“ With their magical abilities, the swords on its tail are ankle-biters and are causing brownouts everywhere. This is docile to humans because of these creatures, but hostile to foes. ”

Tokshurnash (Aetophora serracauda; Korean: 독슈르나슈/修類羅修, dogsyureunasyu) is the fictional species of thyreophoran dinosaur introduced in Worldcraft and Weather Dragons.

Etymology

Tokshurnash is the word for anglicization from the Korean word 독수리 내시 (dogsuri naesi), which means "eagle eunuch".

Physical Appearance

Tokshurnash is a human-sized thyreophora dinosaur with reddish scutes, long hindlimbs, short forelimbs, serrated teeth with beaks like a falcon, and a set of plates and spikes that look like a macuahuitl weapon.


This animal has low osteoderms and a bipedal stance, similar to Scutellosaurus. Five additional vertebrae are enclosed in a structure made of osteoderms that has been compared to an Aztec macuahuitl. After the eighteenth vertebra, all the vertebrae are missing; only the cavity within the macuahuitl gives an indication of how many were present. Hence the name comes from Korean because this animal can castrate enemies, impale its body, or be cut in half and eat the meat like an eagle.

Abilities

Due to the serrated rows of plates on its tail, Tokshurnash can spin itself without showing any indications of dizziness and cause bleeding when it collides. We are merely renowned for fencing off the enemy without any defense against thyreophoran, and we have sharp teeth to cruelly bleed the adversary.

Ecology

Tokshurnash made the observation that Jakapil's characteristics were particular to thyreophorans and that dermal armor was the only characteristic that it shared with them. The premaxilla of Tokshurnash had serrated teeth, which were unusual for thyreophorans, and scavenging behavior was presumed given the shape and depth of the dentary.


The substantial degree of wear on the serrated teeth shows that Tokshurnash was likely an omnivore and that it did not shear leaves with its teeth and jaws but rather digested meat through mastication.

Behavior

Tokshurnash is very docile and sociable to their own kind, including humans or other races.

Distribution and Habitat

Tokshurnash was native to Sawintir and Reinachos, only found in air breathing and non aquatic coral reefs biomes. Some individuals survived from tropical savanna to Mediterranean forest.


Tokshurnash was native to Lighruperisal to Pascua Delos Desierto in each adapted biome per subspecies, including the variants due to different colorations.


Tamed

Since the survivor is always within 12 radii of the hatching sac, Tokshurnash are automatically domesticated when they hatch from an egg. The Tokshurnash can be trained using a whip, any plant material, buds, seaweed, or fish eggs if Tokshurnash isn't already trained.
