Ouch...
I'd add Mutant Powers: Stretchable(or Extralong) Arms or Damaging Whip Arms
and balance it with a Disadvantage: Diet: Soft Foods(must pulverize or liquify its prey before ingesting), but those may be a little iffy to try to quantify.

[Rathorc Lemenger]

I'll fix it, thanks Taalismn. They could get that big, way back when. They could be QUITE dangerious. Also, there will be more to come. Some good, some scary, ALL interesting.

[Rathorc Lemenger]

Here's another mutant for you all, I hope that you enjoy it. Also, thanks for the confidence check, Duck-Foot & Taalismn. Now, here's the new mutant:

"Back off with the paws, buster, or you'll have the distinction of going extinct TWICE."

Just wanted everyone to know that the mutants that I promised are coming along smoothly. I've already have one of them done. As a side note, my brother, Harry Laferts, has made a special request of me for this thread. I'm NOT going to reveal what it is just yet, but I can say is that it is a unique sea creature that is worthy of Lemenger Biologics Unlimited.

As promised, here is the first of the 3 new mutants:

Cretaceous Griffen (Chimera)
Original Animal Characteristics:
Description: The Cretaceous Griffen, also called the King Griffen, is a species of Griffen that is a combination of 2 different Dinosaur species. These species are Raptor & a Pteranodon that is as big as Mega Raptor. The main differences between a NORMAL Griffen and a Cretaceous Griffen is that the Cretaceous Griffen is totally reptilian/dinosaur in origin and appearance. It has scales covering the full body, except for the wing membranes, which are a thin skin that allow it to fly through the air. The wings are large in order to be able to carry it’s massive body weight. It was created as a joke from the Grey’s for the Reptoid aliens, but unfortunately it backfired in their faces because the Reptoids liked the idea so much that they decided to create more of them. The Reptoids generally use the Cretaceous Griffen as a pet and guard animal.

And here's the final mutant of this batch:

Trunko (Chimera)
Original Animal Characteristics:
Description: Trunko is a large sea-going creature that is said to look similar in appearance to an elephant. The original creature was first seen in 1922 by multiple eye witnesses just off the shores of Margate beach, South Africa. The creature was apparently in a battle with 2 Killer Whales for 3 hours, after which none of the creatures were seen again. Meanwhile, in the 21st century, with the creation of the E.G.G., someone who lived near Margate beach decided that it’d b e a good idea to recreate the creature to attract more tourists for the tourist season. It worked pretty well, but when the Crash happened, there were multiple creatures that lived in the area (thanks to the creator wanting a breeding population for the money). All of whom had to survive on their own. After a few years, the Trunko’s found out that they (as well as other animals in the area) were changing to suit the environment that held less human’s then before. For the Trunko’s, they found that they were getting more smarter and found that the other creatures that were inhabiting the area with them were changing both physically AND mentally (thanks to the mutating virus that was unleashed).
Size Level: 24.
Length: 47 feet.
Weight: Up to 50 tons in weight.

Speech: Automatically Partial. Can NOT take Speech: Full.
Looks: Automatically None: The creature has no visible head, but has a trunk coming from the torso. It is said to also have a tail that’s twice as long as the trunk. The tail looks like a lobster and was twice the length of the trunk. It didn’t have any scales, but was covered in snow-white fur that was at least 8 inches in length. The mouth is filled with what appears to be broom-like fibres that hang from the top of the mouth and is used to filter food from the water by pushing the letting water into the mouth and pushes the water back out and filters out the food from the water. It also has limited light armour plating under the fur to help protect itself from any predators/enemies.

Cretaceous Griffen (Chimera)

I dyslexically read this as Cretaceous Giraffe...

Thanks for doing the write-up Rathorc! And for those of you wondering exactly what Trunko looked like, here's a link to a picture: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Q-JSg53A3nM/SydM98vvkdI/AAAAAAAAHVA/2Xtfba8ML_8/s400/Trunko.jpg

Egad...to both the picture and the write-up!

Here's the second of the three:

Protiffen (Chimera)
Original Animal Characteristics:
Description: The Protiffen is a species of Griffen that combines the characteristics of the Smilodon Fatalis (or Sabre-Toothed Cat) and Argentadon. It was created by a group of aliens looking to create a type of soldier and guard animal, but unfortunately it did not turn out the way they were hoping for. What happened was that the creature was TOO predatory in nature and the Aliens had to make a decision on their new creature. After some debate, they decided to use it as a combination scout/front-line soldier..

"We combined DNA from a most fascinating fossil specim-"
"Yes, yes, Science-Commander, that's all very fascinating, but is it FIERCE? That's all we need to know."
"Well, we have the prototype right here. Judge for yourse*CLOMP*SHRED*TEAR*EVISCERATE*"
"Ah....a little TOO fierce....Sub-commander! Summon a new Science-Commander! And get me a new set of lower torso undergarments..."

Hehehehehe. I guess I finally did it. I THINK I've finally creeped out the mighty Taalismn.

I'm easily creeped out...not easily impressed, but easily creeped out...It's the fine difference between 'Awwwww' and 'Aaaaggggg-'.

[taalismn]

Agreed. Your stats have always been good, and your fluff text is maturing as well.

[Rathorc Lemenger]

Well, I know that some of my discriptions need work, but the way I see it if I've only got limited resources of info for the mutants, then there's only so much that I can do. But if they're of my OWN creations (ie: the Protiffen and the Cretaceous Griffen) then I can work it out no problem. Its just that I find it hard to play around with the discriptions for some of the other mutants (ie: the dino's and other real prehistoric critters) since there's only a limited amount of things to do for them. BUT, as a side note: I'm currently in the process of doing up another Griffen sub-species, along with some other creepy critters, that'll be intersting to see put on.

I know, Duck-Foot. I just finished looking through my thread and found that most (about 85-95%) of my mutants have fully fleshed out discriptions. So what I might do is flesh out the ones that need it more.

S'right. Keeps us hunting the paleo- and zoology websites...the only way some of us will ever see soem of the universities playing host to those websites
