he's going to be a mount... a grotesque ox-like creature with human arms and hoof hands. Theres a little dude behind his right shoulder and the only way to tame him was to demonically implant the reins through his back between the shoulder blades, around the spinal cord and to his head. It's the only way to hurt him enough to control him (and that's only with the blindfold on)..... He's blindfolded until battle.
I'd make sure the knees in the back face forwards -- the back legs almost look kind of backwards. Maybe thing about some sort of mauling spike or horns on the head? Maybe some sort of protective cap? bang this thing out so you can move to 3d!
It makes me think of a Catoblepas... a cattle like creature whose neck wasn't strong enough to lift his head, which was a good thing. See, anything meeting its gaze died instantly. I think it's the way the head is facing down so much.

go look at some of your fav artists, go check out some nature documentaries etc, you will be inspired in no time
thinking about which arm to mirror, also working out the reins that penetrate his torso behind the neck
Think the best could be cool, but those tiny hind legs not so much.
i like the eyes and neck in your drawing a lot -- you should work on those a little more to try to really nail them. nice stuff, keep going
