Well,its NOT an (acurately drawn) goat skull. The eyes are frontaly
placed, indicating some sort of predator (goats, like most herbivors,
lack good binocular vision because their eyesare on the sides). It has
some extra bones, too.
If dragons are like most reptiles, it isn't likely a dragon skull
either. Reptile skulls are delicate, more cage-work like, never with
fully enclosed eyes , and thier nasal pasages are not generally large or
shaped as drawn (although a fire breathing dragon would be a likely
exception).
My guess would be a dragon, given the game. If you immagine it with
flesh, a dragon seems right.
Runners up would be a Wyvern or a Piasma (one of those horned bears).
The piasma has the advantage of having the right nasal type, but somehow
that doesn't look like a bear skull to me - to narrow.
The easiest way to solve it would be to turn it over and look at the
teeth. very different in goats and predatory reptiles (and bears). But
its just a peice of 2d art.
