Mix-and-Match Critters: Difference between revisions

A common way of making monsters or fantastic creatures is to simply take existing animals and combine their parts. For instance, the Chimera (lion head, goat body, snake tail) or the [[Minotaur]] ([[Horned Humanoid|bull head]], human body -- a [[Half-Human Hybrid]]). Also common is to simply take an existing animal and vary it a simple way -- [[Pegasus]] is a horse, but with wings, hippocampi have the heads and front bodies of horses but the tails of fish, etc.

Compare [[Biological Mashup]], which is when two characters are combined after the fact; [[Mix -and -Match Critters]] are supposed to look like that. [[Mix -and -Match Critters]] may be the result of [[Hot Skitty On Wailord Action]]. If both creatures are already mythological/magical/whatever and get mixed, they become a [[Hybrid Monster]]. Application of the principle to humans may count as [[Bio Augmentation]], see also [[Mix -and -Match Man]].
