Platrox
I didn't design Platrox with the intention of making it a mascot, it just ended up as one because it was fun to draw. It's not really based on any particular animal, it's just a cartoony reptilian thing with a tail blade. The pattern of its armour plates were inspired by alligator scales and low-poly wireframe CG models.

Platrox is a Kreature that was originally designed to be a pet, which was later developed into a Battle Kreature thanks to its durability. Its skin is covered with tough scales like armoured plates, which grant this Kreature its name. Its tail blade can strike an opponent in the blink of an eye. It’s highly intelligent and has a complex vocal apparatus, allowing it to mimic human speech like a parrot. Populations of feral Platroxes can be found on a handful of islands in the northern Lavok Archipelago, where they live in small groups among thorny bushes on the forest floor and forage for bugs, worms and mushrooms in the leaf litter. Because feral populations are endangered, nucleus samples are hard to come by and it is difficult to mass produce, Tamers consider it to be very rare and special Kreature.
