Description
A 9 beast.You may remember this chap from [link]
Anyway this guy has become a much bigger element in Beta than previously anticipated, so he gets his own sheet and a makeover.
Some changes to its design of course. One of the most charming things about 9 is that all of the characters and creatures are made of out scrapped junk and the previous design was too streamline. That said poor Minotaur is probably going to get redesigned AGAIN for the same reason.
Tail is a bike chain that can retract and let out, with a sickle at the end. Head his the top half of a human skull and the jaw of a mountain lion. Fingers are kitchen knives. Wrists are pistons. Chest cavity is a split oil drum. It has a built in flamethrower, and spews flame from nozzles in the underside of its jaw. Roars loud enough to disorient. Really mean.
Based on the creature of myth, of course!

...hooooo shit.
Let me admit something now. It takes a lot of effort for me to be able to design things that fit into the 9 aesthetic. I'm not good at imagining how to make Beasts out of the bits and pieces of scrap and elements from the world around us. So this? Is awesome. It has that patched yet powerful feel that the Cat Skull does, in that it's a real creature, but you can see and identify what it's made of. That. Just always blows me away when I see it done by artists here, outside of the movie. It's a silly thing, but it's really cool.
Plus. This thing is fuckin' scary. I do not want to meet it, in a dark alley or outside it. And since that is the idea, FANTASTIC FRIGGIN' work, Sal!

That "yield" sign adds a humorous effect to the creature that I can't explain...

I like the fact you mixed tow different skulls from a human and a lion. It makes it both familiar and frightening.

Sweeeeet. You know, the Manticore of myth was banished to Persia by the Greek Gods, if I recall correctly... This guy looks super great, and it's a totally believable design.
