#hell pig

Archaeotherium and two Hesperocyon running in late Eocene/early Oligocene North America.

Thought I’d slap together my entelodont artistic evolution/thought process together as I learned more about them as well as trying to understand their anatomy better. And also learning that the two, Archeotherium and Daedon, were seperate species. Some skull casts etc had thrown me off when I was first working on this.

But I thought it would be fun to share my process and learning when I’m messing with an animal that isnt a dinosaur and that I had no prior deeper knowledge of other than being aware they existed.

I’m still researching these guys so things might change a bit one day, but until I’m satisfied I’ll keep looking into them

Drew some digital art of one of my theriotypes, Entelodontidae, also called the hell or terminator pig.

The Duhrug or Corpse Hog (Osmagodon Gore) is a relatively small Paluentelodontid, though among Earth taxa its 800kg makes it larger than the average Daeodon. This animal is part of the Social Scavenger group, but rarely scavenges - this predator hunts other scavengers, which aren’t a part of it’s group. Duhrug bond to a Scavenger Crew and defend it ferociously, they will attack any creature attempting to infiltrate the group, be it a small Nikirichi or a large Pangolin. While beneficial in the short run, as the Crew fractured due to a lack of new members the Duhrug is forced to locate a larger group.

While not aggressive against Earth Humans, this animal can influct nasty bites even while non-threatened. Its jaws rival Earth Hippos in strength and their teeth are long and robust.
