Definitely not edgy puppy of death that doesn't blink.

Also, tho it may have some influence from the kamaitachi, the actual design is a dog, not a weasel, as you can see from the early concept art. (Thanks gaijingoomba for making everyone think Odo is a weasel, seriously why are people unable to question things and get informed by themselves smh)

Secondly, Odogaron is nothing like a gorgonopsid, seriously, you guys should check how gorgonopsids actually look like and you'll see they're nothing alike (nor the jaws, nor the legs, nor anything at all). As far as we know, fanged wyverns are just quadruped land wyverns, the presence of mammalian traits is irrelevant. You don't have to impress anyone about knowing prehistoric animals when 90% of the fanbase does...

Something else about Odogaron, it is one of my fav mons in world, it's cute and its armor is amazing (specially female), the thigh I mean fight is really fun and I pretty much love everything about it except its feet, seriously there wasn't need for a divided phalanx, it looks disgusting AND dumb.
