Megopteran

Megopteran emerged from the mind of a dedicated “Primeval” fan, Carim Nahabo. He describes his creature design: “This monster is a highly adapted predator, which has evolved from carnivorous beetles, such as the tiger beetle. It grows to around six foot tall, and uses large compound eyes to detect prey in future jungles. When it’s found suitable prey, it uses the large mantis-like legs to catch birds or other giant insects, whilst the razor-sharp jaws make short work of the meal. This monster is also a very fast runner, and uses its speed to hunt prey over large distances, although it can only use its wings to fly short distances.”
