What do you get if you cross a hooded crow with a feathered raptor? Chaos. Unlimited chaos. Introducing Khero, my corvid/dino shapeshifter! Empowered by an ancient leg band artifact, Khero will wreak havoc wherever he goes, and steal any peanuts he can get his talons on ^v^ @/alvaviva.bsky.social

Reference sheet for Khero, a Phoenix shapeshifter that is a hybrid between a hooded crow and Deinonychus. The sheet depicts three forms, all featuring the plumage of a hooded crow with pale grey chest and legs, with a dark head, wings and tail. The wingtips and his eyes are a brilliant blue.

At the top is a front and rear view of his anthro form, featuring wing-arms with talon-hands and a very long feathered raptor-like tail. Below is a feral form resembling a hooded crow, and a feathered raptor formwith the same long tail and shorter wing-arms, complete with small claws at the end and a murder claw for the feet.

Additional illustrations depict his head in both anthro anf raptor form, as well as the talons, wings and a glowing blue leg band visible on all three forms.

The text description reads: Khero, Phoenix Shapeshifter, Hooded Crow/Deinonychus, Curios, Confident, Mischievous. He/Them

*pretty* sure phoenixes aren't native anywhere on earth, but if I had to choose a local bird as a base, it'd 100% be a Red Kite. Super pretty and distinct birds of prey, and the bright red plumage really reminds me of my firebirds whenever i see them ^^ Image: ebird.org/checklist/S4... (not me)

A disassembled ruby laser, with the following image description:

A ruby laser is a very simple device, consisting of the ruby (right), flash tube (left-center), and casing (top). An X-ray laser is similar in concept, with the ruby replaced by one or more metal rods, and the flash tube by a nuclear bomb.
