Description:
Not since the Sathar created the Cybo-Dragon had such a abomination seen the light of day. The Vypo-Dragon is a genetically manipulated cross hybrid using genetic traits from several predatory serpents and the cybo-dragon itself. The result is an extermly fast large carnivore that is capable of movement in both land and water.

This creature has great artwork, lets discuss some stats
I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers!

 Type Large Carnivore
 Number 1-5
 Move 90m land/ 80m/water
 IM/RS +8/75
 Stamina 150
 Attack 80
 Damage Bite 3d10 /Gore 5d10
 Special Attack
Charging allows for gore attack( must move at full speed and slam into
victim with +20% for the gore attack
grapple and constrict: with a successful bite
vypo-dragon makes 4 opposed RS checks to grapple victim.
Each successful grapple means 1 appendage is wrapped in coils and
each appendage must be broken free separately STR check vs 75.
if successful on grapple (any number of limbs) automatic 2d10
constriction damage every turn thereafter (STR check for 1/2).
Part of the vypo-dragon's grapple is his bite so that it simply
keeps its jaws locked on the victim for 1d10/per turn but inertia screen has
no effect since the jaws remain clamped on the victim.
 Special Defense
 Its hide if extremely tough nullifying 1/2 balistic/inertia damage like a skien suite
 Native World
 Unknown: sathar consturct

I like the stats you have developed. I have never been great on generating stats but it looks like these are good ones to start with.

Vypo Dragons maybe community creatures as offspring and then become more aggressive and solitary as adults. Juvenille Vypo's show pack mentality (1-5) to contribute to survival.

Suseptible to fire and laser attacks in their natural condition and have an adversion to fire. Very cunning and intelligent calculating hunters.

No Sathar cybernetic hybrids have been seen yet and it is unkown if they can tolerate the cybernetic grafting but future generations of vypo-dragons may display such augmentations such as armor or even weapon mounts.

that sounds like 2 different profiles - one that is less dangerous (young) but it pack hunts to compensate

then the large more dangerous and solitary

then there could even be a giant version with similar STA to the Cybo-dragon (500 STA)

The giant version could be capable to crunching on a shuttle or small ship.
