The head is of the Hammerhead Bat, of which there are very few good reference pictures of, even in all my books. Forgive any inaccuracies. The enormous snout is for mating calls, loud honking noises that fill up the forest. Underwater, I guess they'd sound more like whales.
FourYong won this in the Hybrid Contest. Cephalopods and bats definitely won out.
As usual, prints available upon Noted request.
PS: I would have put this in Drawings>Fantasy, but the subsection for that was only Animal Characters instead of Animal Designs, and this really isn't a character. : p

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
