This is the design I ultimately settled on for Taxxons. This is actually a fairly recent drawing, I think I did it back in January, which is more recent than most of the stuff I've uploaded so far.
Details in case you have trouble reading my handwriting:
TOP ROW
“Position 1: Watch. Head held upright. Eyes folded back for safety. Alert, looking in all directions. Frequent tongue flicks [to sniff the air].”
“Position 2: Stare. Fixated on a single target. Mouth presented for biting [if necessary]. Ominous background music.”
“Position 3: ‘Smile’. Head squished vertically [adjusts how eyes are positioned]. Eyes held in best positions for wild frontal field of view. Mouth clenched, no biting.”
“Position 4: Biting. Mouth projects forward like a net [and opens wide]. Head expands outwards radially [to take bigger bites]. Two types of teeth: Clutching and Crushing teeth. Eyes fold back for safety. (Not listed: Bite force estimate around 10,000 to 15,000 PSI to chew through concrete and most sedimentary rocks. Acid saliva helps dissolve concrete, bone, carbonate rocks.)”
BOTTOM ROW:
“One Standard Jake (For Scale)”
“2 [pairs of] limbs per body segment on 7 body segments. Final segment only has 1 pair of modified legs.” (Not listed: Taxxon body has 9 segments total, including head segment.)
“Front 2 [pairs of] legs move forwards to support upright torso when upper body held vertical.”
“Living battering ram.” (Not listed: Able to shove through doors, walls, some types of rock.)
“Body segments expand and contract like an accordion.”
