A leaping dingonek by Dinomaster337 In the murky waters of the darkest jungles, lies a terrifying monster. A predator with a reputation of violence, ferocity, and an aptitude for hunting all but elephants. Locals shiver when they hear the name, "dingonek." River Hunter. The dingonek are vicious ambush predators that take their prey and drag them under from the water's edge. These creatures possess a leopard-like head, with two long, tusk-like fangs, grey, spotted scales covering its body, and a sharp, dart-like appendage at the end of its tail which secretes a horrible poison. The favored prey of dingonek is humanoids, as they're easy targets with little defenses. A particular target of dingonek attacks are fishermen who wander too close to their aquatic nests, a fate also befallen by crocodiles and hippos. The only natural creature they'll leave to their devices are elephants, as they have a respect for them as beasts who could severely injure them.
