I need a name for this creature. The main body comes from a toy protoceratops skeleton, the carapace is the carapace of a real dungbeetle I found, the tentacles cometh from a toy octopus, and the jawbones come from a real shrew skeleton I found.

That's a good one, I might use that.

Definitely Steve for a pet one.

starfaced prowler

That could be its common name, and Scarasorex could be the scientific name.

Scareasorex wolfus for the scientific name. (with the added 'e'). That works for me and gives credit to the discoverer (creator).
