Well, this certainly won't be the bane of every Ab players existence. Still, I love the design and it would be a cool creature to come across and use in the game. Good luck!

Absolute nightmare fuel, this creature is awesome! It fits the aberration theme so well; I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up winning.

I love the concept you've created for the Gorgonops, it's definitely the best one I've seen, and I hope that it will eventually win but I think it could use some additions/enhancements to make it fit the theme of Aberration a bit better if you want it to have a better chance of winning in this specific creature vote. Firstly, a lot of the old returning creature vote contestants have updated their initial concepts to fit the theme of aberrations, and while you have already made some notable changes, I believe a bolder approach will help to stand out among the competition. One way of doing this could be to give it some elements from The Predator (the one from the "Predator" and "Alien vs Predator" movies) and make it into a creature that rivals the reaper in a somewhat similar vein to how a cobra and a mongoose are natural enemies. A lot of the abilities you've laid out fits the Predator theme perfectly such as tracking and dragging of victims. Some potential additions that could help it fit this theme and the Aberration theme a bit more would be: - Thermal vision (same as the snow owl) -A cloaking ability (Like the rock drake and shadowmane) -A Light ability that can weaken nameless and reapers -A weakness to the reaper's acid attacks to make things a bit more balanced -A climbing ability to help it traverse better in Ab - A visual update that adds: - mandibles - dread-like hair growths similar to that of The Predator (could potentially be the source of the light ability) - Change the species name from Gorgonops Secutor to Gorgonops Ventor (The reasoning behind this is while the Secutor name fits well if the Gorgonops lived in Scorched or Rag as it much more like a gladiator in those maps, Venator (meaning hunter in Latin), helps to accentuate the Predator inspiration and already fits with the hunting nature of the creature. I understand that this is a lot and could really oversaturate the creature with too many abilities but given how many abilities and features were given to the Rhyniognatha I don't think the devs would be to be opposed to giving it a large number of abilities, especially ones that they've already created, as longs as it isn't too crazy and doesn't make already existing creature completely obsolete. I will also admit that some of the changes I've suggested could end up radically changing your initial concept so please just ignore them if you don't like them, but at the same time feel free to take any and all of them if you like. In conclusion, I don't think I have to tell you that the Gorgonops should have been added a long time ago and the devs should just add it in at this point like how they did with the Carco. The concepts and artwork you've created for this creature truly does it justice and I hope that sometime soon it will either win the vote or the developers will choose to add it on their own. Regardless, this creature will always have my vote. GO GORGO OR GO HOME!

The biggest bird is finally here! I'm looking forward to seeing its combat capabilities and the different color combos, definitely looks like the devs are doing this one justice.
