[Breeze-Chan]

Name of Mutt: Liwe
Species of Animal used: Lion, hawk, snake
Description: Body and head of a lion with a hawk's wings and a snake's fangs. Very venomous. Fangs and claws holds the venom. Instead of fur, a Liwe has armor like scales.Soft spot is right between the eyes and the underbelly.
"Real World" uses: Protection. Liwe were unleashed on rebels during the Rebellions. Back then the Capitol use to threaten to give people's families to the Liwes for dinner to get information out of rebels or rebel spies.

[cinder]

Name of Mutt: Hornse
Species of Animal used: Horse and um, rhino
Description: Its basically a Unicorn but called a Hornse because the Capitol scientists didn't want people to know they stole an idea from way back in time mythology. An average horse [physically] with a horn sticking out of its head, its skin is tough like a rhinos and it is pretty big. Highly intelligent.
"Real World" uses: Capitol officials rode them, the Hornse are smart enough to know the difference between a Peacekeeper and a rebel. Hornse are deadly and mean, plus used on children, these are doubly cruel considering many a little boys/girls have dreamed of unicorns and happy days.

I'm such a sadist, wanting a Hornse to kill a poor, innocent child.

Name of Mutt: Tarzanian Lizard
Species of Animal used: Komodo dragon, rattlesnake, Tribute
Description: Tarzanian Lizards were developed after the last Hunger Games. They are a large lizard that looks suspiciously like the one a certain Tribute killed in the games, except they are larger, stealthier, poisonous and have one other quirk. Human eyes. Tarzanian Lizards bear the eyes of the girl who killed their inspiriational lizards killer.
"Real World" Uses: Um its a killer lizard that pwns? The Capitolites also love this mutt because of its famous ancestor, so Tarzanian Lizards are more for the public--a way to keep Capitol-ers happy and spite the Districts in a clever way. Simply genius.

Name of Mutt: Piggus Avius go ahead and change the name, I tried to make it sound scientificus
Species of Animal used: Wild boar, eagle
Description: Pggus Avius, or just A-Pigs are large wild boars that have been given huge wings. They have nests in trees and are extremely protective. Climb the wrong tree and prepare to be kicked out of it. Usually they do not bother anybody unless Tributes bother them first, but A-Pigs have large appetites and tend to eat everything around them--and they arent herbivores, so when food starts to run out you may be their next meal. They also have red eyes
"Real World" Uses: Really they are like the something-bees from Katniss' Games except much bigger and dumber. The Capitol used them for a short amount of time, but the rebels found them to be very stupid, and ended up hunting them instead, using the meat as food. Since then the Capitol scientists have made the mutts bigger and badder so that children in the Games will have trouble dealing with them.

Name of Mutt: Tree Bearwhal. definitely change the name if this is picked, I'm completely clueless as to what to name this beast

Species of Animal used:

• Sloth Bear, shown here: Click this for awesometastic awesomesauce.
  
• Tree Kangaroo, shown here: Hahahahaha!
  
• Narwhal, shown here: Um, just click it.
  

Description: With the horn of a Narwhal, just made proportional, the Tree Bearwhal, or Bearwhal for short, is of the size of a small canine. Roughly knee height when on all fours, and as tall as the middle of your thigh when standing on both of its hind legs, the size of it can make it very underestimated. That is, if you don't catch the horn on its forehead first.

The Bearwhal has the head of the Tree Kangaroo, the Narwhal horn sprouting from the fella's forehead. The horn is roughly an inch at the base of it, with the diameter gradually decreasing as it travels outward.

The body of it is loose-skinned, the color of an agouti hue. It's quite plump, so that if it were friendly, which is the exact opposite of what it is, it would be the type of thing that you would love to wrap your arms around and squeeze, the type of thing that would help you go to sleep at night, but unfortunately, it's vicious.

So vicious in fact, that if something edible comes near it, which is any meat, it will definitely attack, the horn going out first. The Bearwhal though, if it feels threatened by a larger animal, or something that they know they can't take down, it will raise up on its hind legs and spread its arms, sending a shreak only audible to certain things and people. The scream will cause a very severe case of dizziness, which the Bearwhal would take advantage of, if the shreak were to be heard by the item of prey.

If it was heard, the Bearwhal of course would continue with the usual, the horn to the leg, or neck, or whatever it may be, and after that has happened, and the horn is still lodged inside, the Bearwhal will release its real weapon, the venom. You see, there are small pores on the horn, that are activated only when certain liquids make contact with them, such as rain or blood. The beast will then send out a small emission of a pastel yellow ooze, that contains bacteria that infects whatever liquid it was put into, whether that be water or blood or whatever. The bacteria contains small, smaller than microscopic, imbeciles that are able of deadening limbs.

Just watch out, if the Bearwhal were to attack you, prepare for death.

"Real World" uses: The Capitol scientist genetically altered three exotic species of animals that were capable of great things and combined them to cause an even greater thing.

The Capitolites and government placed these beasts close to bodies of water all across Panem, and they put plenty of them.

They were mainly to prevent overpopulation of certain species and to punish those certain people that liked to disregard rules, but once the waters became polluted, they immediately removed them, making modifications and bringing them to the point of Hunger Games Muttation Material. Or HGMM. (Hehe, I made that up.)

Name of Mutt: Kangashark

Species of Animals Used:

• Kangaroo, shown here: Wow, How am I going to Make a Mutt out of These Two?
  
• Tiger Shark, shown here: Whoa.
  

Description: The Kangashark, it's huge. The fur that's normally seen on a Kangaroo, well erase all of that from your mind, and replace it with slick skin that's found on sharks. Weird right? Well it gets even weirder.

The long, slender feet that are on kangaroos are now replaced with wide, webbed feet, helpful when swimming, and the tail is now of a shark. The Kangashark still maintains the strength in the legs of a kangaroo, making it possible to stun opponents and Tributes with them, then with the teeth of a shark, that has replaced the usual molars of the Kangaroo, it rips apart the poor little thing that's being killed.

And what's a shark without a fin? Well, don't worry, there's one of them too, located on the back of the body. The massiveness of it is... just immaculate. The weight is an average 500 pounds, so it's definitely not small.

The Kangashark can swim along with walk on land, so it can attack while in water too, as it swims to the prey, and rips it apart with its teeth, since it would be difficult to kick it in the water.

"Real World" Uses: The Scientists of the Capitol decided that those who were rebellious in the war, didn't deserve to live, so they sent out Kangasharks to all of the bodies of water near District 4, though others were involved as well.

After the Kangasharks had killed the desired amount of rebels, the Scientists and Government of the Capitol removed them from the bodies of water. Well, most of them. A few of them were left behind.

The Scientists made modifications, making them up to HGMM (Hunger Games Muttation Material) just like they had to the Tree Bearwhals.

[Matt]

Name of Mutt: Watcher Widows
Species of Animal used: Spiders
Description: One thing that makes these mutts different than any spider, they have 12 legs, making their mobility much faster and more balanced. Watcher Widows are always born in pairs, with one spider that stays the same size, the size of a fingernail, while the other grows to extreme size. This is very important with the way they communicate and wreak havoc. The smallest hides among the trees, and latches on to a human when they pass. A bite so small it can't be felt, it sends a signal to it's larger sibling. It encloses the prey in an intricate web that it spins in record time. As soon as the larger one finishes it's web, the small one begins to grow. The two spiders double team the victim. The biggest thing to watch out for is the fire, which rarely (but possibly) comes out of their mouth. Even if you survive an attack, it's web is extremely sticky and nearly impossible to get out of.
"Real World" uses: The Capitol first created the Watcher Widow during the war. They used these maniacal spiders to latch onto rebels to detect the secret bases. Once the other spider had enclosed it's prey, they were commanded to set fire to the buildings. The Capitol had forced the flames multiple times, leaving not much fire left within these beasts.


Name of Mutt: Sleeping Skunk
Species of Animal used: Skunk, Koala
Description: With the body of a skunk and a head of a koala, the Sleeping Skunk doesn't seem like a very vicious muttation. But you can't judge a book by it's cover. If it is frightened, it's long, sharp claws will spring out of it's hands and it will lift it's tail, letting out a toxic gas that knocks someone out for 2 hours. Unless horribly frightened, the Sleeping Skunk doesn't normally attack, rather runs off after the competitor has been knocked out. When the victim finally awakes, it is infected with an illness from inhaling the gas. This could last up to 3 days filled with vomiting, headaches, diarrhea, and fever.
"Real World" uses: The Capitol made the Sleeping Skunk to knock out runaway rebels in order to take them to interrogation rooms. The sickness part is to make the torture even worse for the rebel.

[rizzo13]

Name of Mutt: Harpie
Species of Animal used: Human, hawk, vulture
Description: Pretty much the same kind of Harpie used in Greek Mythology. It is a woman/vulture that flies through the sky in search of prey. It is very vicious and enjoys killing tributes. The only downfall is that it eats them whole .... not even letting their bodies live through the devouring.
"Real World" uses: Capitol people often use this creature to torture rebels or they just use it for hunting. It can be tamed but only by people of the Capitol. It is unknown how they tame them.

Name of Mutt: Lulayaundintboothtearssapporimtori
Species of Animal used: The Staff of THG
Description: These are the attributes it has from each of the staff members:

First of all, it has no appearance. It shape shifts into anything.

Lulu- It carries a hammer that kills on impact.
Aya- It has a glare that makes Medusa scream in fright.
Thundy- It has long claws that can make anyone cry .... even Lulu
Wolf Tears and Photobooth- It can turn invisible at will
Quint- When it gets angry it goes insane, tearing down everything in it's path
Sapphira Lily- It looks gentle and kind but when it is hungry it attacks. It lures tributes in.
Gorim- It's only purpose in life is to destroy everything
Tori- It brings order to things when needed ... and then attacks again.

"Real World" uses: It can take care of any member and has a part time job in the Capitol as Librarian, using Tori and Gorim's amazing skills.


Please do not take this personally! I love you all! This could be used or it can be a joke! Mwahahahahaha!


Name of Mutt: Pelikangamaus
Species of Animal used: Hippopautamaus (That is so not how you spell it lol), Kangaroo, Pelican
Description: The Pelikangamaus has the feet of a kangaroo, the strength of a hippo, and the wings and bill of a pelican. Somehow it manages to lift itself from the water to walk on land or to fly. It is very powerful with pointed canine teeth. It can have babies rapidly without a mate which allows it to have about 5 more Pelikangamauses a day.
"Real World" uses: Kill tributes? lol. It can be used for mail carrying, war, or even catching fish in the fishing district.

[Innocent]

Name of Mutt: Crocaconda
Species of Animal used: Crocodile, Anaconda
Description: The Crocaconda is a very large snake with the head of a crocodile. Its coloration is that of murky water. Its sleek muscular body is great for swimming and quick movement in the water although its cumbersome on land.
"Real World" uses: The Crocaconda was used for attacking and harassing small boats close to the coast or in rivers. It was able to get close to the boat unnoticed and go right over the side and pull people off it and into the water. Its sharp teeth and powerful jaws also allowed it to bite holes in the bottom of some boats.


... Yeah i'm from Florida so those two animals are always stuck in my head. So you know... why not put them together.

[Dancin]

Name of Mutt: Venomtella (not really a great name....oh well)
Species of Animal used: Snake, tarantula, scorpion
Description: The is a creature that has a head and body of a snake, with long spidery legs coming out of it's body and the curled stinger of a scorpion. Its teeth and the hairs on it's legs have the combined, poisonous effect as Hydrophis Belcheri water snake venom the funnel web spider venom and the stinger and poison of the scorpion. The Venomtella has eight eyes like a spider and can grow up to 30 feet long. They can have up to 103 legs and have been know to grow dual scorpion tails. The Venomtella is extremely intelligent but cannot think on their own, it is unknown how the capitol trains them.
"Real World" uses: The Capitol used Venomtella because it was stealthy, they could sneak into rebel camps and kill silently, quickly and effectivley. This was ideal because it meant most rebels didn't know it existed untill, it came for them and by then it was far too late. These mutts, were not taken out of usage untill all of the known rebels were killed, even after the bombing of district thirteen. These creatures are feared even now by the people of the districts.

[jimmylost]

Name of Mutt: Staranha
Species of Animal used: starlings and piranhas
Description: A flock of birds capable of striping the flesh from it's victims, it's body looks like nothing but a ball of feathers and head is mostly teeth.
"Real World" uses: The capitol thought these would be perfect for attacking the rebels when they started, but it was reveled before they even sent them out that they were too difficult to control so they remained in the testing stage until now. They have finally been refined to the point where certain swarms can attack people of certain blood types. The only downside is there sense of smell necessary for the bird to attack is very weak, in fact all it's senses are weak so that the only danger is finding yourself bleeding very close to one. At which point it will send out a specific note to the rest of it's flock and they'll be on you in seconds.

Name of Mutt: Pathfinder Bugs
Species of Animal used: glow worms, snails, slugs, gnats
Description: Pathfinder Bugs exitist in swarms of hundreds. They are no bigger then a speck of dust and in daylight look almost identical to a swarm of gnats. The main difference is the sticky slime covering there entire bodies that gets left behind on anything they touch. The slime isn't toxic but glows bright violet in the dark. Pathfinder Bugs are very attracted to the smell of sweat and will follow around a large mammal around for days feeding off it.
"Real World" uses: Not only do Pathfinder Bugs cause any human they're attached to to glow brightly in the dark, they also leave traces of there slime behind on anything around them they happen to touch. This creates a clear path to any human target.

[ja'mie]

I love animals, but when it comes to technicalities and habitats and diets, facts just escape me. So this is a really really rough draft, and I have no problem if its changed around and stuff. But I tried to do a bit of research, and I hope this at least makes a bit of sense, for someone who's failing science in general.

Name of Mutt: Derilosophus Enterinismsa
Species of Animal used: Actually it's a parasite...
Description:
The Good News: The worms are usually only found in animals. It seeps up through the soil, and then makes it's way up into the stomach area. There, the parasite flourishes and starts to multiply, creeping into any other organs (especially the brain). The parasite enters and dies quickly, because when it reaches the brain it has no means of keeping itself alive.

The Bad News: It doesn't touch the blood, but it takes a special interest in the brain. If the brain is reached, the parasite takes control of prefrontal cortex and the temporal lobes, making each one unstable. It can cause the animal to appear rabid, minus the foaming. It heightens the animal's agression, impulsiveness, and takes over the vicitim's emotional control. Even if the victim wanted to calm down, stop, etc., they would literally not be able to. Assuming that the victim still has any sort of mental awareness at all.

As stated before, the parasite is only able to flourish in the small intestine by living off of the nutrients in the food the hosts eats. However, it only stays in the stomach for so long until it pursues the brain. Once reaching it's destination and wreaking what havoc it can, the parasite does not have enough time to move back into the smaller intestine, therefore it dies out. Consequently, the first sign of the parasite is hunger and/or weightloss because of it's feeding on the host's digesting food.

"Real World" uses:
During the war, the capitol basically used them as... stimulations. They already had they're extremely vicious mutts, but that just wasn't good enough! The answer? Just inject one of these babies into the mutts, implant them into the soil in the mutts' enclosures, hide them in the mutts' dinner bowls. And there you have it; the perfect killing machines. Agression, impulse, and no emotional control? The pieces together into one bad combination; and they're not afraid to take it out on anyone and everyone.

After the war, the parasite was locked away just incase. They didn't bother retrieving all the mutts they had it used on, since the parasite could die out on it's own time.

Okay, I'm sorry, that wasn't really a mutt. Just an idea I had, haha.

[-Z-]

Name of Mutt: Tick Tocts
Species of Animal used: Tick, Octopus
Description: Physically, the creatures resemble the Tick, albeit a bit larger. As opposed to being the size of the tip of a matchstick, the Tick Toct is about the size of a tarantula. In the middle of its forehead sits a blue sac of ink that can be expelled through bites. Also, the Tick Toct is capable of changing color to blend in with its surroundings.
"Real World" uses: The Tick Toct is used to identify Rebels easier. Utilizing the camouflaging abilities of the Octopus, the Tick Toct infiltrate rebel camps in groups of 5-20. Each Tick Toct will latch onto one of the rebels with a nearly painless and unnoticible bite, injecting the human's blood with its dark blue ink. Each Tick Toct only possesses enough ink for one human, but the ink is permenant and reacts with the blood to make the veins glow brightly in whosoever is bitten. What this means is that their veins will glow like a beacon, making them an easy target if they ever step back into an area with Capitol officials ( Or in the case of the Hunger Games, other Tributes).

[cameron]

Name of Mutt: (Can't think of anything... Tiger Phantoms, maybe. I dunno.)
Species of Animal used: Walrus, Tiger
Description: Has the body and coloring of a tiger, but with walrus tusks and slippery, webbed skin and feet for swimming at high speeds. Swims under any kind of water, and when a tribute isn't looking, pounces from behind and knocks out his/her breath so he/she can't make a noise to alert the others that he/she is in danger. Then pierces with tusks or claws, and eats.
"Real World" uses: Used to kill rebels during the war; made it easy to eliminate rebels because of the silent factor. Rebels would just start dropping and the rest wouldn't know why until it happened to them.

Name of Mutt: Sheepish Grinner (Lame, I know, I am terrible with names..if you couldn't tell =P )
Species of Animal used: Fox, Sheep
Description: As sly, quiet, and elusive as a fox, while still being fluffy, and having hooves (sheep have hooves, right?) The Grinners have a very thick orange coat, and the tail, snout and ears of a fox. The Grinners have incredibly sharp teeth, but play it off like they just have little nubs, and appear cute and cuddly. That's where they get their name from, because the smile sheepishly and trick people into liking them. Then they show their actual teeth and bite the flesh of the human. Biting is their primary attack, but they can also send clumps of fluff at people, as blunt projectiles.
"Real World" uses: Used by the Capitol to trick simpleton rebels into hugging them, making it a quick death to rebels.

[Jasik]

Name of Mutt: Deathsinger
Species of Animal used: wolf, tiger, eagle, rhinoceros
Description: It has the general appearance of a large, hulking wolf. However, it is striped like a tiger, has the green eyes of one, and has wicked claws on its front legs. It uses these to make deep, painful cuts on its enemies. It has the muzzle and head of a wolf, with sharpened fangs and a rhinoceros horn near the end of its muzzle. The most noticeable genetic change is its eagle wings. They are firmly planted on its shoulder blades, and allow for flawless flight. Its hind legs have incredibly sharp talons, which also allow it to perch virtually anywhere. It has no trouble moving on its hind legs. Its skin and horn are both from the rhinoceros. Its skin is almost impenetrable, but if attacked in the same area over and over again it will weaken. It also has a weak spot on its belly. Its hide is covered in coarse, striped fur. Its cry is like that of an eagle, but somehow mixes in a roar. The noise is enough to make even the biggest, bravest men cower in fear. This is where its name comes from.
"Real World" uses: It was mainly used by the Capitol as a fighter during the war, good for both land and air battles.


Name of Mutt: Fearstryker
Species of Animal used: fox, cat, owl
Description: It has the body and eyes of a very large cat, but the head of a fox, which always looks like it's grinning evilly. It stands on its hind legs because its front legs have been replaced by owl wings. It can swivel its head around 180 degrees, just like an owl. The mere sight of its face is enough to strike such fear into any living creature that they are more often than not paralyzed with fear. It then feasts on its immobilized target with its long, deadly fangs. It is most active at night, and has such incredible vision that it could spot a mouse two hundred yards away in the darkness of midnight.
"Real World" uses: It was used by the Capitol as an assassin during the war. During this time, it could take out entire groups of rebels at once simply by scaring them into paralysis, then ripping the horrified rebels to shreds.


Name of Mutt: Parrigatr
Species of Animal used: parrot, alligator
Description: (its picture is my avatar btw, that's where I got the idea It has the body and wings of a parrot, but the head of an alligator. It likes to hide its face by turning around so that its victims can only see the pretty colors of its feathers. Then, when the enemy has its guard down, the Parrigatr quickly turns around and flies at its opponent, quickly ripping them to shreds with its vicious jaws. It never uses this tactic when attacking in swarms, though. When they come in swarms, they will simply attack. During swarm attacks, however, a few might break way from the fight in order to use the previously mentioned tactic on smaller groups of rebels in other areas.
"Real World" uses: It was sent into rebel camps in swarms during the war, quickly reducing the rebels to a pile of blood and gore.


Name of Mutt: Trapper Zappers
Species of Animal used: electric eel, shark, spider
Description: Virtually everything about the Trapper Zapper is electric. Its skin, its teeth, its webs, everything will electrocute its victim. It has the general appearance of a shark, but it has the tail of an electric eel. Its teeth are sharp and dangerous, just like a shark's. When its mouth is opened wide enough, it can reveal its spiderlike pincers, which are powerful enough to tear out a sizeable chunk of flesh. From its eel tail, it can shoot out cordlike spider silk, which will trap and electrocute its target. Luckily, the web is weak enough to be hacked away with a knife before it will kill its victim with the electricity. However, if you don't have something to cut with or strong hands, the electricity will almost definitely kill you. Merely touching the Trapper Zapper will electrocute the target. Once it has a target, it will hunt it down until the victim is either out of the water or dead. Like a shark, it is attracted to the scent of blood.
"Real World" uses: It was planted in the water sources of the rebels in order to kill unsuspecting victims. Most were removed after the war, but some still haunt the waters of Panem.


I have a beautiful mind, I know

Quick question: When are the winners announced?

[Prince Inigo]

Name of Mutt: Leopera
Species of Animal used: Leopard, Gray Wolf, Peregrine Falcon
Description: This muttation resembles more of a modern griffin. The main body is the leopard and some parts of the back blend in with the gray wolf; the face and front, however, is that of the peregrine falcon. Replacing the black or brown spots of the leopard with that of gray gives you a general description of the body structure. The crest feathers are ruffled and messy, but the rest of the feathers and the skin of the muttation is smooth and shines brilliantly in the sunlight. Sharp obsidian-black talons replace the wolf and leopard claws on the paws.

The reasons for using these animals was to reap the benefits each species had: the leopard for its climbing skills, the gray wolf for olfactory senses, and the peregrine falcon for its record diving speed. Its main weakness would be its vulnerability if in water, but perhaps the skills of the gray wolf 'could' save it.
"Real World" uses: 'Seek-and-Destroy' and drug/explosive detection. During the rebel war, the Leopera would be sent out to destroy invading rebels or terrorize rebel camps. The main attack would be to swoop down with amazing speed and impale a rebel with its extremely sharp talons, only to fly away with the rebel in case another would try to attack the muttation. The other purpose - with the heightened senses of the wolf - could easily detect illicit drugs and possible explosives, shrieking out a ear-deafening cry that was mixed with the three animals used in creating it.

-----------------------

lol I don't expect to win, but I thought I could help. (:>

[Stare]

Name of Mutt: Scalenia
Species of Animal used: Fish, Snake, Human
Description: The Scalenia's greatest advantage is it's beauty. The top half of it is human, with long, beautiful black hair and deep turquoise eyes. It's skin is flawless, except for the fact that it's tinted blue. It has full, navy lips. It wears silvery seaweed as a top. At first glance, this creature looks absolutely beautiful, and you feel like all they want to do is help. However, they're lips hide sharp, venomous fangs. Although a bite won't nessasarly kill you, it will do great damage to your senses for hours, and maybe even knock you out. It's tongue is that of a snake's.
The bottom half is a long, swaying tail that is covered with shining blue-green scales. It's hands and feet are webbed, and it has dangerously sharp claws. It's arms are have more like snake scales than fish scales.
"Real World" uses: During the rebellion, District 4 had a distinct water advantage. To snuff it out, the Capitol created the Scalenia, which either lured people underwater to drown, or kill them with their vicious claws and teeth.
The Capitol got the idea from a very old book that had talked about a being known as a "mermaid".
