While doing a random search for strange animals, I came across the Blue Dragon Mullusk. While in reality they are tiny, the largest I've seen pictures of fits in the palm of your hand, imagine fighting a 20 ft long version!

Probably an animators nightmare, but I can dream, right?
Alternatively, there's the costume inspired by the beast. Here's what someone on deviantart came up with:

Ladies and gentlemen: our Hamidon!!
Name: Safehouse
Ranger: Gunner
Primary: Force Blast
Secondary: Atrophic Aura
Tertiary: Kinetic Melee
Travel Power: Parkour
Status: Traveling. Following rumors of a huge city in Massachusetts that is teeming with supers.
And here's what someone else on deviantart came up with: http://chael.deviantart.com/art/Glaucer-concepts-106143133 - these would certainly make for some neat wing and fin costume pieces. And the squidwings sketch shows that they're looking at some aquatic critters already... hopefully we'll eventually have squidwings and slugwings and manta ray wings and flying fish wings and etc...
But personally, I'll be quite happy to start with just the basics - dragon wings and bird wings and tech wings (though, hm, you could do some good "tech" options just as re-textures of dragon / bird wings...)

actually, it would be kind of cool to have a hamidon-type encounter where the "core" of the enemy was something like the anthromorph above.... but whose abilities enabled a super-massive monster fight.

Wyvern, Izzy.. nice find. Looks like we have the initial concept art to finished product, if I'm not mistaken.
Just looking at the "watermark" on those I have to toss out a suggestion for a chest logo, too.

Mm. The one problem here, of course, is that issue of copyright - all these links to people's art on DA are things we [i]can't[/i] have the CoT game artists looking at. Photos of the original critter, though, should be okay.

True, the costumes can't be duplicated... but that doesn't mean that inspiration can't be drawn from them.
