Ibex Miner - Fantasy narrative exploration into Creature Design

Ibex miner- starting off my first module on my MA creature design course, I worked on designing an ibex type creature that was adapted at the peak of its evolution to be the best climber possible. I used elements such as koala hands for extra dexterous fingers and grip, spider monkey tail, ibex legs and horns. Narratively i created this creature to be a trade-seller gatherer type that dabbles in the collection of precious gems and salts that are found only high up on vertical cliffs, giving them an advantage as merchants as only they can mine them.
