Conanopterus, Hyborian Pterosaur Dragon (Redesign)

Description

While keeping the classic head design (based mostly on Hatzegopteryx/Quetzalcoatlus) I have modified the rest of the body to reflect it's aerial lifestyle more. It's legs have become secondary wings (similar to Great Blue Windrunner from TFIW); tail become thinner and shorter becoming less problematic for a flying animal. Fingers on the wings have disappeared completely as in Nyctosaurus.

""There are creatures," said Pelias, "not alone of earth and sea, but of air and the far reaches of the skies as well, dwelling apart, unguessed of men. Yet to him who holds the Master-words and Signs and the Knowledge underlying all, they are not malignant nor inaccessible. Watch, and fear not."
(...)In the silence that followed, Conan heard a sudden beat of wings in the stars, and recoiled as a huge bat-like creature alighted beside him. He saw its great calm eyes regarding him in the starlight; he saw the forty-foot spread of its giant wings. And he saw it was neither bat nor bird."
