Type Specimen Jhator

Another skeletal for Jhator! And before I get jumped on, NO this animal could NOT fly in our reality. I know this, but Jha was not designed to be a 100% plausible creature, he was designed to be a believable gryphon.

Anywho, here he is in his lammergeier/caracal glory. Finding reference for a lammergeier skull was TOUGH. I had to search for it in German. And there's no caracal skeletons on internet land, apparently, so I referenced a lynx and modified it from there. Other modifications include fusing of the thoracic vertebral spines to act as a socket/place for the wing joints, and I modified the pelvic girdle so that his filthy tail feathers, and corresponding muscles could attach there.

DELICIOUS BONES, methinks Jha might get hungry just looking at his own skeletal!
