Coyotechidna
A hybrid of Coyote + Echidna

This medium-sized mammal sports a lean, muscular body covered in a coat of tawny fur interspersed with sharp quills along its back, providing both camouflage and defense. Its elongated snout is equipped with keen senses, allowing it to forage for food while its bushy tail aids in balance and communication. Coyotechidnas possess powerful limbs designed for both digging and sprinting, making them versatile predators and adept at navigating through various terrains.
