Zarlar
Overview
Zarlar is the meta-form of Zarling. Though it's lost its wings, it's still a strong and agile climber; it prefers to haul its kill up a tree so it can drink its blood without being disturbed. It prefers its meat fresh and bloody. Its Tamer can trick it into taking frozen/thawed meat by wiggling it around to simulate movement. Its robust body is built for grappling rather than long distance running, so it will attack its victims unexpectedly from above or behind, dispatching it with its array of razor sharp claws and teeth.
My first thought is a tasmanian devil, even knowing the idea behind its design. I seem to have a thing for these “hybrid mammal” types that feel real, despite not being based on any single animal.
Zarlar here is another solid mammal monster. The bat features on its head is a huge thumbs up.
