Bio prophet

Mantid like person, with masses of extra sensory organs, enlarged raptorial legs when focused can be used for deeper sight. After the fiasco of the Nine Tails incident, the techno oligarchs started recruiting new circles of specialist hires to try and perceive potential threats to the company's status and operations, creating a sort of panoptic agent. Developing these skills so profoundly, with access to a disturbing amount of information, the agency began biologically, enhancing them to sharpened levels of sensory operation. These seers understood the unhinged nature of their existence, taking inspiration from the nine-tailed predecessors, opted to patiently wait, their shadowy nature and long-reaching influence, gives them a supernatural air, even in a future rife with biological tampering.

Chasmosaurus dinosaur illustration for James Stryker's paleoart project. #Chasmosaurus #Dinosaur #Paleoart #SciArt

Painterly digital illustration of a Chasmosaurus herd in a fern prairie and conifers and other trees in the background. There are two adult Chasmosaurus face to face in the midground, a juvenile running toward off frame, and in the foreground is an adult turning its head. All of the Chasmosaurus have a gray/brown coloration with orange and white spots on the frill with the exception of the juvenile that lacks the colorful frill.

In the land of Suddenside, lookouts are posted on towers, adorned in shining cloaks to throw off the sniping gaze of the Spectacled Dreadeye. This guard is too focused to realize that the dragon slipped right under his nose, keen to eat.
