Now considered to be a degenerated form of Ravener, the Leaping Thornsnake is found on a variety of worlds on the Eastern Fringe. It burrows under the ground before springing out to attack its victims with its horns and a shower of razor-sharp needles that launch from its head. It uses its powerful snake-like tail to propel the creature into the air as it leaps rapidly across terrain to close on its prey. Leaping Thornsnakes are a deadly threat to colonists and explorers on these worlds, as their subterranean locomotion keeps them from being discovered until it is far too late to escape unscathed. |

Assembly – Tim: I cut the spine fist right behind the weapon at an angle, where it melds into the warrior's arm. Then, I cut the Gargoyle body at the join at an angle to match the other cut. I used a length of pinning wire (thick paper clip) to join the two parts together, so that the spine fist part was more in line with the Gargoyle body. Next, I sculpted Green Stuff around the join to cover the gap. Lastly, I mounted it on a flying stand to represent its Leaping ability.
