Description

I decided to redraw and design the first creature that I created for my graphic novel. I have to populate a whole world so more will be coming... :)
The Mavu family 1 year ago -- incomitatus3.deviantart.com/ar…  

...the most widespread creature on Osselnor: The Mavu.  Mavus are a type of reptiles that roam the Plains ,
mountains and Jungles of the Osselnorian mainland and its islands. They are a peaceful type up until the first impression of being cornered.
These creatures have sharp claws, robust legs and a strong jaw yet their teeth are very underdeveloped. All Mavu are omnivores although there are some sub species that prefer meat over everything else.

Male Mavus can be easily spotted by their fancy tail. Its end looks like a very colorful leaf (every bloodline has its unique pattern).
Males also have feathers on their body mostly on top of their armored skulls, neck and on their forelegs.
These feathers become solid, razor sharp spikes when the creature is disturbed by something and even uses them as weapons against their potential foe. They are fearless when in territorial battle with other males. 
Female Mavus excel in hunting and are in charge of defending the nest. In opposition to their male counterparts, they have more developed, sharper teeth. They also have shorter forelegs.


These creatures are used as mounts by the indigenous people of the Isles of Aelende. Legend has it that there has been no human on these islands who could tame a male jungle Mavu.
