Dingison
A hybrid of Dingo + Bison
The Dingison is a remarkable hybrid creature resulting from the genetic fusion of the dingo (Canis lupus dingo) and the American bison (Bison bison).

It stands approximately 1.5 meters at the shoulder, with a length of around 2.5 meters. The Dingison's fur is a mix of sandy and dark brown tones, resembling the dingo's coat, while its large, curved horns and massive head echo the bison's imposing presence. Its keen, intelligent eyes reflect both cunning and strength, allowing it to navigate its environment adeptly.
