Now for the third member of Raisa's team: Pyrrha the Varusaburosu - featuring a soft redesign of the species to better fit into mainline + Stories settings.

A little about Pyrrha + some notes on the redesign:

Her egg was stolen from its home in a faraway volcanic region, then sold in a black market deal gone wrong, alongside several other foreign animals and eggs.

Raisa’s wife is actually the one who happened upon the eggs while searching for stolen artifacts from a dig she had been a part of. She brought the eggs to the Scriveners, but the organization was unable to track down the details of their origin, and thus the eggs were turned over to the riders of Tazeem, including Raisa.

When the young Pyrrha hatched, Raisa was unsure of what to make of her. She was quick to anger, full of energy, and food aggressive. Pyrrha has since leveled out a little, becoming a stalwart companion and a terrifying powerhouse in Raisa’s team.

I designed her with the rest of the 'blos line in mind: her horns and spines have been rounded off and made blunter to better fit a burrowing monster, and some of her more extravagant plating has been simplified.

I did end up keeping the bright palette and general silhouette, because I adore Frontier's Varusaburosu and want her to be recognizable as one, but now - I think - she fits in a little more with her relatives.
