Got to admit, I'm still surprised something like this can be so big when it feeds on such small animals.

Also, thanks for doing this swap!

Kruggs are pretty huge for supposed insect analogs, and this isn't maintaining a constant high body temperature. I'd say it's realistic.

I'm excited to see your end!

Does it no longer have predators that can attack it from behind? The Needlespike Flunejaw description said, "but the needle-like spikes on the hind legs deter direct leaps from behind onto its haunches". I would assume that, with an expanded blind spot behind it, the spikes would be extra-useful.

It doesn't really benefit that much from it, especially as a large animal that's more than capable of just staying hidden. Most large animals don't waste energy on big spikes on their butts, no matter how many predators they have.

Also, there's a bit of a predator apocalypse incoming. Most of its ancestor's predators will be extinct shortly.
