Sootcharcoal Heat Relay Courser

Pixel art: Stage I Kithflare (fresh front): VIEW: FRONT. FORM: Stage I Kithflare. TASK: NEW. Previous Stage Sprite empty; Cinderhide as Style Anchor only. Design a heat-sensing relay courser with a long horizontal ribcage, high coiled rear hocks, two short bracing forelegs and a counterweight tail. Its broad, flat triangular head has a hard beak-like jaw edge, side-set slit eye, no ears, no cheeks and no rounded nose. Four distinct three-toed feet visibly connect to the torso. One cream angular throat mark, one rust zigzag flank mark and a tiny fork at the tail end carry lineage identity. Soot charcoal and rust, only a few ember pixels in flush throat/rib seams. Three-quarter right-facing launch crouch with rear legs compressed and one forefoot planted forward; alert, mature, fast. Use roughly 68x60 logical cells, giving it a substantial Stage I body rather than a tiny pet. Avoid dog, otter, wolf, horse, mustelid, puppy eyes, paws, fur, rounded muzzle, upright raptor, rider, tack, heat sacs, shoulder pads, plates, external flames and cute proportions.
