This is a counterpart to my next fakemon and straight away I wanted to use Inostrancevia. Although I had the shape of the creature in mind, I didn't know how to embellish the design. Once I remembered they are Gorgonopsids, that was enough to go on. False eyes and snake-like dreads soon followed. Gorginos were the top predators of their age, although primitive in comparison to today's carnivores. Armoured fronts allowed them to withstand the throes of their prey whilst false eyes could stare down any herd mates that may have otherwise intervened. The scaly tendrils on their heads can rattle and serve allure others of its kind. — Ability Info — — Attack Info —

The dot eyes were placeholders but I found them really endearing so decided to keep them. I've attached some more serious eyes as a what-if. Estemmarch were some of the largest pokemon alive during their time and their heavy bearing and tough armour made them all but untouchable. Foes that attempted to assault their herd were met with sharp horns of gold and powerful jaws, with enough time to employ a counterattack as predators tried to chew through their impressive armour. — Ability Info — — Attack Info —
