92nd Muttation Contest

[Python]

( map credit : gamemaker tallis 🧚🏽‍♂️kaitlin. )

ATTENTION MEMBERS! If you would like to contribute to the spooktastic (and vampirically erotic) 92nd Hunger Games from a Gamemaker's perspective, here's your chance!

Come up with a "muttation" or other genetically altered wild creature using the following form, and reply to this thread with your finished product. The best mutts may be included in the 92nd or other future Hunger Games. There is no limit to how many mutts you may submit, so feel free to post more as they come to you (although remember to edit your post rather than double-posting if someone else has posted before you).

If your muttation is used, you will receive credit for your little beastie on the Muttation Directory thread that will be present during the Games, as well as on the Site Wiki's Muttation Page. Note that the Gamemakers (staff) reserve the right to make minor changes to your creations.

Notes: Mutts involving humans will not be used (sorry Strahd), and mutts created initially "to kill people," "to destroy people," or "to torture people" will also have to be explained very well to be used. Be more creative than that!

You may want to refer to the Arena Map for climate-based inspiration. For the 92nd, we are looking for mutts that fit our gothic twilight castlevania edgy arena.

The contest will end on October 13th!

Use the form below:

[b]Brief Summary:[/b] (consider including previous uses [why the Capitol developed them], rough size/physical features, and general behavior, as well as any additional information you may have and please note that this should be no more than a paragraph — see the Muttation Page on the Site Wiki for examples.)

[b]Poison, Edible, or Neither?[/b] (please note that this may be changed by the GMs based on need)

^{SHADOW MANTIS}

Brief Summary: Only the Capitol scientists who made them will ever know where these small-but-terrifying creatures go during the day- there are even tall tales that the creatures cannot survive in sunlight, ad that the dawn of each day is the only thing that could save a person from a swarm. They are mantis-based, but with a stone-hard glossy black shell surrounding them like battle armor and protecting their many glowing red eyes. But it isn't where they go in the day a person should worry about. They attack at night- clouds of shadow emerging from the darkness and leaving nothing behind but bone and the faint sound of chittering in the distance. Poison, Edible, or Neither? Edible? Sure

^DEVILDOG

Brief Summary: Like their taller hellhound cousins, the devildog appears canine in origin and is almost always stark black in color. They are short, stout creatures, and tend to have much more berserk, frenzied hunts. Their entire lower jaws are built of calcified bone fragments and teeth, jutting up and out of their snarling mouths, dripping with hungry drool. What they may lack in height and speed, they more than make up for with their devastating damage and thicker hide. Poison, Edible, or Neither? zont zo it

^COPYCAT

Brief Summary: For the most part, these creatures appear to be ordinary black house cats, with the cute eyes and the toe beans and the swishy tail and everything. The only difference is that they are, on average, two and a half feet taller than normal house cats, and they have two mouth-tentacle hybrids coming off the backs of their necks. They were designed to appear nonthreatening to other potential predators, but the extensions on their necks allow them to mimic the attack strategies of other predators, and ultimately turn the situation around on its head. Special Mechanic - attacks tributes using the same weapon's dice the tributes are using against them Poison, Edible, or Neither? Neither

^PREDIHARE

Brief Summary: These genetically modified rabbit mutts use their mouth extensions to latch onto prey, giving them easier access to bite and claw the target to death while being potentially much larger than the predihare itself. They are all rabid, with eyes that glow a putrid yellow color. They are not very intelligent, but are extremely territorial and prone to violence. They hunt by climbing just below the surface of their burrows with inly their mouth extensions breaching the surface, as they are so sensitive that the predihare can hunt without using its eyes. Poison, Edible, or Neither? Poison! Latching onto foes with its extensions poisons them.

^{MOLE BAT}

Brief Summary: A sickening cross between moles and vampire bats, the mole bat is a winged, flesh-toned, blood-drinking nightmare. It is completely blind an hunts both above and below ground using echolocation and its aggressively sensitive nose. Either on land or in the sky, the mole bats are worthy adversaries indeed, and are best dealt with by quietly walking in the opposite direction just as soon as you've detected them. After all, there's a good chance it may be sleeping... otherwise, it definitely already knows you're there and is waiting for any and all reasons to kill. Poison, Edible, or Neither? neither

decavore worms

Brief Summary: originally bread to solve the problem of graveyard overflow after the end of the war, these decavore worms began as foot long worms that would feast on decayed flesh at a faster rate. Left in the mass grave sites, these worms were forgotten for over fifty years until the land they'd been left in was being zoned for an arena. At first contact with these massive worms back in the 70th era, they grew to a whopping 15 metres long and two metres in width. After some finessing, the worms were modified to grow upwards of forty metres long with a 10 metre width. Travelling through tunnel systems beneath the earth, their only aim is to continuously feed on decayed flesh found with their superior sense of smell. If none is available, then living flesh will suffice.

Poison, Edible, or Neither? eat worms if u want bro

balleels

Brief Summary: Balleels are genetically modified eels crossed with a common cave bat to communicate through song. Not the Capitol's finest ideas, but one none the less, the balleel was a hit amongst the wealthy. People would even host concerts for their singing eels back during the 60th era and they were highly popular until it was discovered that the eel's song was just the right pitch to cause extreme euphoria in the listener. People were so infatuated that they would try to go to the source of the sound instead of stay away from it. Sailors would jump overboard, party goers would climb into the eel's tanks. Soon enough, these eels were pulled from homes and fished to extinction. During the early 90's, a young mutt geneticist decided to relook at the balleels for use in the arena. Modified further, their skin became silken in appearance and their movement in the water became as hypnotic as their siren song. Spliced yet again, this time with the genes of a shark to give them rows of sharp teeth and a taste for blood, they're the deadliest thing in water.

Poison, Edible, or Neither? nom nom but plug ya damn ears
