Description
So this is my attempt to revisit an old idea of mine of a herbivore featuring a prominent chest horn, but I can't get rid of the feeling that no matter what I do, this placement is always going to look inappropriate.Related content

Gopherus agassizii males also have horns in this place.

Sorry for being lazy.
That tortoise was in the back of my mind when designing this, actually. I just wasn't sure whether the protruding plastron counted as a horn. XD

Damn, this is awesome!
Is the horn used for defense or does it also have some other function like maybe digging up food or something like that?

I would say it could definitely work as defense, but my initial idea was courtship battles between males.

Alright, because I thought it could also have a more specialized purpose which could lead to it varying in shape, possibly helping with making it less phallic-lookingΒ

That's probably a good idea XDΒ

But then again, the phallic nature of it might not be a bad thingΒ

its chest neck is a huge big boner...
to be fair there are real world lifeforms that look... questionable.

Yes. Pretty much. π€£ Unfortunately. π

There are plenty of real animals that look like genitals.

You know what? If that sort of look was my intention from the start, I would be nearly as upset about it. π€£ But it's ok, one day I'll make it work. I hope. π
