I like the pose, musculature, and shape. I'll provide more feedback later.

Any updates on this?

Hello?…

Right. I did say I'd be back. I was busy with offline things for about two months.

My skills are rusty, but I still have something to say.

Why would it hunt both small game and the juveniles of megafauna?
"tightly knit" should be "tightly-knit".
"pack mates" should be "packmates". I don't think "packmates" is technically a word, but it looks more like "classmates" or "roommates", rather than suggesting a "mate" as in a mating partner.
"while the stygmogg barking" with the stymogg barking.

Because young megafauna can technically count as small game, plus there are creatures in real life who do a similar thing (i.e coyotes hunting stuff like rodents and deer calves). Their social pack hunting behavior and powerful means they can tackle this kind of prey.

Made grammatical edits, mostly following what you requested but the last one I edited differently.

Any comments on this? Or is this ready to go?

It has good art. Otherwise, I am not sure what else to remark upon. I've gotten rusty.

In that case, does anyone else have any comments on this species?
