Think of a large roadrunner with teeth and claws.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />"Bartok's Wren Basilisk."One of the smallest of the Songbird Basilisks, the Bartok's Wren Basilisk is an animal weighing but a few ounces. It's feathers are a dull greyish-brown, with dark brown display plumage during breeding season among the males. In total length it is 8 inches long, and stands about 3 inches tall."The animal's talon (the sickle claw) is rudimentary, barely larger than the other claws of the foot. It relies on the claws of its hands and its teeth to slay its paralyzed prey. It hunts small mammals and reptiles, insects, and scavenges the carcasses of larger animals."Shy, it can be easily tamed, and is a quick study."Not recommended for homes with small children."A sample. Anyone is welcome to try their hand at illustrating the beast, black & white or color. Think of it as a bit of practice for more important work.</blockquote>
