appearance
general
The general description applies to both d. imperator and d. minor.
Deinokolyana have a hyena-like, usually dark-coloured body with varying spotted or striped patterns and a thin furless tail with at least one bony spike at the end. They have feline front legs, ungulate hind legs with sharp dew claws, and large avian wings and tail feathers at the base of their tail.
A pair of curled horns grow above the eyes and around the long pointed ears of the creature, adorned with at least two spikes. They have large upper canine teeth and retractable, forward facing tusks in their lower jaw.
Females are generally slightly larger than male specimens.
