{{trope}}
The unholy union of [[Attack Animal]] and mad science, this is what happens when some genius decides that [[Strong Flesh Weak Steel|unpredictable lab-designed killbeasts are far more efficient than those outdated old "tanks" and "fighter jets"]].
{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* The [[Guyver]] suits sort of blur the line between this and [[Living Weapon]], but the Zoanoids and all their variants employed by Chronos ''definitely'' fall into this category.
*Predator X from the ''[[X-Men]]'' series, a creature designed to hunt and kill mutants▼
* In ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', {{spoiler|this is what the EVAs ''actually'' are instead of robots.}}
==Film==▼
* In the [[Alien]] series, [[Prometheus]] reveals that [[spoiler|the Xenomorphs of the are somehow linked to a mutagenic slime designed by mankind's creators to kill off mankind.]] Not to mention the ludicrous amount of times [[Mega Corp|Weyland-Yutani]] has tried to harness them for this purpose.▼
* In the original [[Piranha (film)]], the titular fish. And in the sequel, they crossed them with flying fish.▼
* [[Lilo And Stitch|Stitch]] technically counts as one of these, given he was created for the sole purpose of destruction. Which, come to think of it, makes this likely the only case of a [[Boy And His X|Girl And Her X]] plot where the "X" in question is one of these.▼
* The titular [[Leviathan (film)]] from the movie of the same name is a Soviet one of these. It is also one part [[Fish People]], one part overly-literal interpretation of a [[Thomas Hobbes]] metaphor, and several parts [[Body Horror]]▼
* [[Sharktopus]] from the SyFy film of the same name and Pteracuda from the sequel both qualify as these.▼
==
* [[Resident Evil]] could easily be called the trope-codifier for this concept, given how many of the ones following this were directly inspired by the horrible things coming out of Umbrella Corp's doors.▼
* Everything spawned by the [[Prototype|Blacklight Virus]] ends up as one of these.▼
* Quite a few ofthese end up appearing in [[Final Fantasy VII]] thanks to the efforts of [[Evilutionary Biologist|Professor Hojo]]▼
* The zombies from the [[House Of The Dead]] series are actually much more like this than zombies, ''especially'' when you get to [[Our Monsters Are Weird|the bosses]].▼

* While there aren't really any in the movies proper, the ''[[Star Wars]]'' Expanded Universe has a ton of 'em, most of 'em made by the Sith or by the [[Scary Dogmatic Aliens|Yuuzhan Vong]]

* As revealed in a DVD Special Feature, this is the true origin of the fanged wormlike aliens from ''[[The Deadly Spawn]]''.
▲* ''[[Sharktopus]]'' from the SyFy film of the same name and Pteracuda from the sequel both qualify as these.
* The titular creature from the ''[[Zeiram]]'' films certainly counts, and is considerably smarter than the usual [[Bioweapon Beast]], making it doubly dangerous.

== [[Literature]] ==
* The second ''[[Monster Hunter International]]'' book mentions that the Manhattan Project briefly and disastrously experimented with these before wisely deciding to go with nuclear weapons instead.
==Toys==
* Cobra's hulking, inhuman Monstro Vipers and Toxo Vipers from ''[[G.I. Joe]]'' definitely count as this.

* The aptly named Biolizard from ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]]'' is one of these as it is {{spoiler|the prototype of the [[Ultimate Life Form]] turned mindless bioweapon against humanity}}, as well as Gerald Robotnik's Chaos replicas.
* ''[[Deus Ex]]'' features several made by Majestic 12. These include greasels, green reptialian hopping chicken like things that spit acid and karkians, dog like lizards/snapping turtles. It's unclear if grays (standard "gray" aliens) are entirely an example: while initially they seem to be like greasels and karkians some dialog suggests they are merely clones of aliens who died in the Area 51 crash.
