The ashurer adeter is a common sight across Antedeluv. Wherever there is ample open ground, these brilliant blue flying reptyls of the novun clade may be found. No larger than seven feet tall, they're not the most imposing of predators in their area.
Long legs indicative of a degree of cursoriality allow them to save energy from flying, and instead jog across the landscape to hunt down any small game they may find. When active hunting yields nothing, they scavenge as readily, using other flying scavengers as beacons to a potential meal.
At their size, they are vulnerable to predation by larger, more powerful carnivores. In response to such threats, they've evolved a neck covered in hollow spikes. When rattled, they create an impressive intimidation display. If this fails, they can provide defense in another way. If any predator attempts to secure a bite, these spikes would shatter, lacerating and puncturing the inner mouths of the attacker.
