The Heliosaurus

Product Description

Meet the Heliosaurus, a one-of-a-kind original species designed from the ground up for VRChat. Inspired by raptors, ball pythons, komodo dragons, and the aerial creatures of Pandora.

With a powerful tail, expressive sensory tendrils flowing from the back of its head, and an incredibly boopable snoot, the Heliosaurus is a loveable critter.

This avatar marks my first fully scratch-made VRChat model, created from the ground up as a passion project and a huge milestone in my 3D art journey. Made in 29 hours as a "what if" and a "can i?"- so I did!

Want to try before you buy? A public version of the Heliosaurus is available on VRChat:
