4th Grass Starter: Wood-Horned Faces

Description

Three more Starters - or rather, two more to go! I sketched, scanned, and colored this all in one day, BTW. Not too shabby don'tcha think?
One thing I noticed while looking through the Starters... Not one of them was a reptile in the layman's sense, and only one (the bird of prey line) was a reptile in terms of cladistics. Notice how the canonical Grass starters are all reptiles of some kind except for Chespin and (possibly) Bulbasaur? Good, now how many reptile Grass starters does my region have? None until now? Yep, thought as much. So I decided to fix that by having the fourth set consist entirely of non-avian reptiles, including dinosaurs. :D
I think you can guess what these guys are based off. Had to think a little bit for the title, couldn't find any expressions to use lol. So instead, I based the title off the literal translation for the genus name they'd probably have: Xyloceratops fawkesi ("Fawkes' Wood-horned face"). ;P
