A WIP that was going to be for a contest on Conceptart, but didn't get it done in time. Probably won't now. SIGH.

The creature was supposed to be an "Ecological Staple" and they had this really bullshit prompt about an organism whose only 'purpose' is to feed the rest of the ecosystem, so I came up with this cat species that has an obligate mutualism with ants. The female is a wingless antmimic and the male's pharamone-sensing abilities have changed so that he only can smell ants and not females and so blahblahblah in every life stage there's a lot of waste that goes to feed other organisms.
