Close. Lions and cheetahs are predators however and they don’t generate anything like the reaction that thing does. There’re probably some really bad racial memories involved with that thing.
A reasonably intelligent predator much like oneself in some regards, but utterly feral in others would be more alarming than a four legged creature that has some semblance of physical beauty. A reasonably intelligent, humanoid predator would likely intertain himself rather than immediately dispatching his prey, unlike the four legged predator.
But, then again, this is an artist’s conceptualiztion, and we are no doubt reacting as intended.
