Kraaloak

The creature's head was covered in pitch-black fur all along the top, long and scraggly as it was seemingly never groomed, patches of fur sticking together in some spots, revealing what looked like dark grey reptilian scales along the right side of it's head, and a patch of thick leathery skin just below it's left eye. The ears were not identical, the right ear was a wolf's ear that stood up but was missing the tip, the left ear was also a wolf's ear but half-way down a protrusion of bone was keeping it in place as if the skull had started to push outward slowly to try and cover up the deformed ear; the bone itself was covered in bloodstains, leaving few spots of the actual bone's off-yellow color to be seen. It's eyes were both reptilian in shape, with the sclera colored orange, standing out against the creature's dark fur. A snout grew a few inches, appearing like a canine's until the nose, which was instead that of a bat's, the open snout a light grey color, the snout itself seemed to lack proper lips as the gums were constantly being shown, the myriad of teeth lining it's mouth. The front few rows of teeth were long and narrow, with the much larger fangs just at the beginning of the sides, and then it was an alternating mix of shorter reptilian teeth and short, wide, serrated teeth one would see in a shark's mouth. On the left side of it's jaw, a yellow, feline eye was seen, looking at everything around it. Sticking out of the tip of it's mouth was a long tongue, feline in it's appearance, though the barbs on the tongue were twice as large as they should have been, leaving them fewer in number but considerably thicker and longer to compensate. The neck itself was almost devoid of any fur, with only some of the black fur being visible on the left side near the shoulder blade, instead it was covered in large patches of spines that were several inches long, separated by intermittent areas of more dark grey leathery hide covering it's skin. Two very large wings like those found on a bat were on it's back, the bones holding the membrane together appeared to come directly from it's spine, erupting from it's skin, leaving a small amount of what looked like grey muscle tissue exposed moving up the bone on the left wing near the base of the wing itself. Just below the pair of wings were two shark fins protruding from it's back, the coloring more of a dark blue mixed with spots of grey. Around the fins, the skin was covered in overlapping sharkskin. At the base of the creature's back was a long shark tail, though near the tip the sharkskin became deformed into reptilian scales. Near the base of the tail itself, forming an upward pointing arrow was a trio of shark's eyes, the transparent membrane covering each eyeball as they blinked. Both shoulders had a large number of long, thin spines sticking out of them, with the ends of the shoulders joining the arms containing large, six-inch hooked backward-curved bones sticking out of it's skin.

Down the left arm, patches of pitch-black fur were interrupted by more reptilian scales and some patches of leather, with some knotted pieces of skin showing up around the scales. There were five different elbows going down the left arm, the first was close to the shoulder, a mere six inches below it, and appeared to bend left to right based on seeing it's movement. The next elbow was two feet further down the arm, able to bend backwards and forwards, with a dark yellow goat's eye sticking out of the back of the elbow. Just over a foot below the second elbow was the third, this one was moving in a way that showed it could only bend to the left, forward, and a little to the right, a large, gnarled growth of bone over part of the joint was the likely reason it possessed such a strange range of movement compared to the first two. Three feet further down was the fourth elbow, the joint allowing a near-full range of movement in every direction, though the muscles and tendons around the joint seemed to almost burst out of it's skin whenever the elbow was being bent to the right, the final elbow seemed to also act as a wrist for the creature, being much closer to the ground as it was just below the creature's left calf muscle. The left hand was covered in short, dark grey fur but the fingers were abnormally long, the first knuckle in each finger touching the ground, leaving the rest of the clawed fingers to drag along the ground. The right arm's covering of fur, scales, and patches of leather were similar to the left arm's, although that was the only real symmetry. The right arm itself it only possessed four elbows in a more evenly-spaced manner, with the first elbow being a foot and a half below the shoulder itself, bending in the more typical fashion of a standard elbow, easily towards the front with restricted movements in other directions. Halfway between the first and second elbow was a pair of yellow wolf eyes, one staring out to the left and the other to the right of the creature. A foot and a half below the first elbow was the second one, this particular elbow was seen to bend to the right and to the back just fine, with limited movement to bending left and no ability to bend forward. Two and a half feet below was the next elbow, bending left, right, backward and forward with equal ease. Just over two feet later was the final elbow, once again also acting as a wrist, the clawed hand once again dragging along the ground.

There were numerous areas on the creature's chest that were a mixture of the pitch black fur and leathery areas, with only a few spots of spines near the ribs. Just over where the heart would be was a very large growth of bone, the odd bumps indicated that it's rib-cage had begun to expand and push partially outside it's skin, thickening a great deal to provide even further protection to the heart at a cost of some flexibility. Yet it was the very large pair of eyes on it's chest just above the bottom of it's rib-cage that truly stood out. A pair of eyes that had shifting pupils, often going between canine, feline, reptilian, and shark-like on their own, the dark red sclera seemed darker in some areas and lighter in others, as if there were multiple sources of blood to form the shape of the eyes. Each eye moved to take in it's surroundings, rarely closing their lids, revealing the lid to actually be a perfect mimicry of the creature's fur to assist in them blending in with the rest of it's body should the need arise. Just beneath the eyes where the stomach should have been was a very large mouth filled with sharp teeth, alternating between a few long and narrow teeth for stabbing, and some wider, shorter, serrated teeth for tearing open muscle and flesh, with the back of the mouth and the 'throat' being lined with little teeth found on lampreys. The tongue that seemed to stick out was long, thick, and forked, the tips ending in strange smaller mouths that resembled that of a leech. Below the open mouth was simply a large amount of black fur going down to the waist with only an abnormally large amount of shaggy fur between it's legs to be anything worth nothing on the remainder of it's upper torso.

Finally there were the legs, they were covered in a mix of fur and reptilian scales. Much like the arms, the legs possessed a slightly different amount of knees spread out unevenly that didn't always bend in the normal direction. It's right leg appeared to have four knees down it's length, the first appeared after roughly a foot and a half down from the start, bending back and forward with ease and some difficulty bending to the right. Near the first knee was a duo of eyes, one feline and the other reptilian, both had a yellow sclera. The second knee was only a foot lower and some gnarled, twisted growth of bone had penetrated the skin and made bending it forwards difficult, though it could bend left and right easily with some difficulty bending backwards. The third knee was almost two feet below the second one, a large amount of spines were sticking out all around it, a single eye was just above the kneecap itself, a simple eye, aside from a pair of large spines piercing out of the center, preventing it from blinking like the rest of the eyes on his body, the knee itself was able to bend in any direction with a bit of effort unlike most of the other joints in his body. Finally the fourth knee was only just over a foot above the ankle itself, large patches of leathery skin surrounded it and stretched down to the ankle itself, though it could only bend to the right and forward. The left leg appeared to have three knees that were spread out further, the first one was two feet below the start of the leg. Covered in large amounts of fur with some spines along the front, the first knee bent backward and to the left just fine, but a large growth of bone coming from the shin kept it from bending in any other direction. Numerous different kinds of eyes were in the space between the first and second knees, circling around from front to back. The second knee itself was a a foot further down from the first, it had a much larger growth of bone covering it, forcing it to bend like a normal knee and in no other direction, but the dense bone covering the sides and part of the back also made it much more difficult to break or dislocate than the others.
