My entry for 's adoption contest. This one's #9
Look at this beast Isn't he pretty?

I really hope I get him, I've really fallen in love with his design.

If there's anything here that doesn't fit the species I apologise, if you tell me what it is I'll fix it immediately.

Ok, now about this guy:

Name: Silicon

Age: 32

Gender: Male

Species: Acid spitter

Habitat: The deep desert, he roams over a massive territory encompassing little more than rocks and sand.

Physical appearance: Short and squat, Silicon is what you’d expect for a desert spitter. He’s 3.6 feet tall at the shoulder, and is sturdily built, with shorter, thicker limbs than average. He’s missing part of his left horn, and has scars on the left side of his chin and on his left shoulder. He also has two small pieces missing from his tail. He’s also missing his right thumb.

Personality: An aggressive loner, Silicon is no tame northern spitter. In fact, this desert dweller is notorious within his territory for his willingness to take a chunk out of anything that moves, be it human or animal. He’s even been known to go after vehicles if they get too close. He’s never been seen hunting in a group, but he does share his territory with a number of females. He has no fear of humans and when his own hunting is unsuccessful he is not above stealing from the nearby towns, even taking pets and livestock when he can get them.
He’s reasonably intelligent, although he seems more so because of his persistence. Whereas others might abandon something if it’s too much hassle, Silicon will keep going until he gets the reward, and once he’s learnt something he can easily repeat the feat. He’s very patient, and will stalk powerful prey for days waiting for them to weaken enough so that he can kill them.

Brief history: It’s widely believed that Silicon is a feral spitter that escaped/ was released from a fighting ring because he was too vicious even for them, but that’s just a rumour. He was born out in the desert, he’s wild through and through. He was named Silicon by an archaeologist working in the desert, who came to recognise the spitter that kept watching him at the digs, and named after his sandy coloured skin. Silicon soon made himself more than just a part of the scenery however, picking off the pack animals that they’d been using to help carry the tools. He eventually moved onto the expedition members, forcing them to retreat.
He lost his horn in a territorial dispute with a rival male, and the scars on his jaw are from the same fight. The wound on his shoulder were inflicted by that same rival, but in a later fight. His right thumb was cut off by a trophy hunter that tried to shoot him, but he fought back, resulting in a scuffle that cost Silicon his thumb and the hunter his hand. The tail damage was not inflicted in any fight, but is a mark of a disease he had in his youth.
He’s past his prime and is starting to rely more and more on scavenging to get by, but his antics have earned him a grudging respect from the local people, so he’s allowed to make off with more than another spitter might be able to get away with.
