Description

... The name will have to change at some point but it's 2 am and I'm too excited about it to be picky.

I think I did 4 different versions of this one creature before I got to this design. All of them either looked really cartoony or absolutely horrifying

In the end, I decided to keep the anatomy closer to wolf/dog than stegosaurus, though if I were to draw it standing up, more of the stegosaurus would shine through. I kept the plates and spikes on the small side because I felt the design looked better that way.

Is any of it scientifically accurate? Probably not. Is it plausible? Also probably not.
That said, I like to imagine it's omnivorous with a preference for meat, has a habitat ranging from arctic to deciduous woodland, and is usually somewhere on the upper-middle part of the food chain. Can they be domesticated? Probably. For what purpose? I don't know.

I will probably doodle more of these in the future, try other dinosaur-mammal combinations, or both. This was a nice challenge.

If it can be domesticated, I want one.
