Halo CE - Thorn Beast - Model Recreation
Thorn Beasts were originally meant to appear in Halo: Combat Evolved and were going to be ridable creatures for Marines before they were cut for AI issues. Their neck and head contain high concentrations of neurotoxins, likely a defensive adaptation against predators that go for the head or neck to kill.
I made this model in blender using renders of the creature as reference and for the texture.
