Description

This took me about three days.

At first it was gonna be a raptor, but then I didn't like the leg configuration, or if I would include a pair of vestigial flipper-claws. I looked at some photos of insects and bugs on dA, and ta~da!

This alien has a meat body like most terran organisms, but use a kind of energy-consciousness; their brain is made of of organized magnetic pulses of plasma and electricity. The Phreno'tops have evolved a way to use their mind to discharge energy as an attack, like a quick blast of electricity.
Neoceratopsidae are common all over the planet Pearl, but Phrenoceratops is unique to an Australia-like continent where many of the organisms have external brains. Most Neoceratopsidae are herbivores (or hunt mobile plants) or are scavenging omnivores, but the Phreno'tops (common name) is a strict carnivore, both because of the large theropods of their continent, as well as the lack of mobile plants.
one of the few aliens of Pearl to have an external mind, do to it's isolation from the continents, many organisms of their large island have never evolved internal energy brains or brain-shells.


This is not part of a project, mostly because the idea of a external energy brain is tough to defend and kinda ludicrous.

A far-fetched but extremely interesting idea with the plasma-brain here. But I wonder how this thing avoid to get "cranial" trauma that could kill it.
