Since there are so many talented people here I thought that people could invent there own animals if they wanted to.

For example my animal would be a drakala and it would be a lizard that walks like a man. It would have spikes all along it's back and tail a snake's senses and a posionous bite that isn't fatal but causes severe diaherroea to the victim.

you mean a politician dont you? :-)

I've never known a politician to cause severe diaherroea to people however I do believe that george bush suffers from severe diaherroea constantly as he's never in his office

Anyway what animal would you invent?

you should try talking to one and see how long it is before the cramps kick in...

No thanks I have no desire to listen to economic ramblings and veiled threats

Can you please invent an animal now

How about an animal created from a cross between Jaques Chirac, and a lion? We could call it a Pussy Cat!

or Rabid Feline - take your pick :-)

Because of an occurance some years ago I've always been grateful that leeches don't have wings.

How's that for a nightmare?

Do tell...

Well, in a not very imaginative way my favourite animal would be a Gyr Peregrine. And as an added bonus they are real! It’s a hybrid of a Gyr falcon - the largest and most powerful of the falcon species and, obviously, a peregrine falcon - the fastest animal in the world. So what you end up with is a beautiful white falcon with all the speed and agility characteristics of a peregrine but with 50% more size, muscle and power - a formiddable creature indeed. If you want to take a look, check them out here.

I like the "pussy cat" idea and that Gyr peregrine sounds like a bird I wouldn't want to cross. More animals needed people

That is one majestic looking bird.

I hope you haven't taken this disscusion too far phil and actually gone out and created that bird yourself, it was purely theoretical:)
What a beautiful animal, i take it these things haven't been released into the wild?
As for my animal i'm going for a Great White Lion, surely the ultimate predator!

Cheers.........

well, since the government has outlawed the creation of such chimeras, i guess this only remains a fictional workspace of ideas. i'll seriously have to think about this one. i'll get back to you on it, probably with an accompanying illustration

I have a crow-black lab cross;-) His wings haven't materialized yet, but his head is a perfect match. See here for some inspiration:-)

Oooh, Daryl - those are seriously weird images!!!!!

My cross would be a cat with the obedience of a well trained dog. That'd do me!

That was quick...it must have scared you. Sorry:-)

Not really, but if they did exist....ewww.

A great white lion would definitly be the ultimate predator Benroy. And what I wouldn't give for an obdient cat and I agree that those images are very weird

The Gyr Peregrines are bread to be used as Hunting birds - as far as I know none have been released into the wild but many have been exported to the middle east to be used as desert hunters.

I already did.. If you look just to the left you will see her.... I worked many mighty magics to create her..

Wow but you invented a cat that's not a new animal at all

Have you ever seen one that looks like that before??

Good point black and orange don't usually mix in a cat you have invented a new animal well done.

This sounds like a good contest topic to me...

you might have to bank that one for later then seeing as how the next scheduled contest was to be photographic :-)

I'd loved to have created a contest topic please Samatar make it happen

black and orange dont usually mix in a cat? - i think tigers would beg to differ ;-)

someone invent a caedes.

I meant in house cats

Caedes - A dangerous spdier-like creature that creates maximum carnage in the wild with it's varyied pitch song-like call

Hm...invent an animal huh? Well I've always wanted a really big white wolf with huge white wings like an angel....WHOA! Those are some majorly trippy animals there +mayne! Whoa....My angel wolf will comfort me

Cool angel wolf huh right I'm creating a devil snake lush he has wings and horns now groovy.

i'd like a horse size cat combined with a phoenix. That would be cool

Thats one big cat? would the cat/bird crosses have identity complexes considering that they're mixed with animals that would normally be predator/prey? Just wondering

phoenixes aren't prey

no, they wouldn't seeing as pheonix's arent really prey for cats or anything.

I think I saw a movie about a horse/phoenix once, it was called "Blazing Saddles"...

A boxer/husky breed of dog, I've never seen that type of mix.

Well true but besides the phoenix, maybe like a canary or something.

Mine would be a "RION", Rhino crossed with a Lion try and take that on!

hmm....my electric-eel bear will take on your rion!

how about a chip-squirrelzilla! mwahahaha! ah yes the genious of a squirrel/
chipmonk/godzilla!!!! hehehe

Rion got a bit fruity with a T-Rex = Riont - Rex who's great aunt was half dolphin half human which gives Riont - Rex brains and sonar hunting ability.................total devastation.

omg...wow....well then well just create the ultimate chimera: A dragon/bull/bat/wolf/saber-tooth tiger/ with lasers mounted to its head. I call it the A dragon/bull/bat/wolf/saber-tooth tiger/ with a laser mounted to its head.

Galactus Riont-Rex with henchman Silver Surfer finding your dragon/bull/bat/wolf/saber-tooth tiger with lasers mounted on its head. It's called nemesis.

My super chimera's name is Jo-Ann. She and Nemesis should get together sometime and have Galactus Riont-Rex / dragon/bull/bat/wolf/saber-tooth tiger babies with a charged particle canon strapped to its head. How bout them apples?

Ok some really weird animals are being created now I'm going to cross a albatross with a hedgehog and create the first spiky bird hehe.

Frog + Otter = Froter

Albatross + hedgehog = Albahog or hedgetross

Hippo + beetle = Beepo

Ha ha ha ha. LMAO

Cant beet Beepo thats f++k++g quality (my sense of humour). Sorry folks for swaring spent 5 mins trying to think of a come back, I lost the ability to breathe today when I came up with Froter.

I still like my animal chip-squirrelzilla shall rule!!!!! hehehe

rofl- we should make this an image contest! and you forgot the freakin lasers!

Mine would be a Ratel (honey badger) the size of a grizzly, with the aggressive drive of a wolverine on steroids.

Shameless Austin powers quote.

Chip-squirrwlzilla (digimon) merge with Riont-Rex = ? Dont know but magnificent it may be. So move over lesser animals.

lol! :D

Rrrraaaaaagggghhhhhhhhhhhh munch munch munch munch all animals before Riont-Rex Chip-Squirrelzilla

Silly/wierd person.....

Ouch!

Hey don't dis the lasers! You'll be sorry when my new creation Ultra/Super/Hyper/ LSD enhanced Sea Urchin comes and pokes you with his MEGA SPIKE OF DOOM!!!!!

Fear the insanity

Grion

Half mythical creature Griffin + Half king of the jungle, Lion = Grion. By the way this bad boy can fly.

That was a pretty shameless quote. :) So what do you guys think of making this a contest?

I would not have the first clue of how to go about it, anybody help?

Just make a post on the discussion board explaining the rules etc. and people can post their entries in the New Images gallery (make sure you explain that it is unofficial). The hardest part of organising a contest is getting enough people to enter...

Uuuurrrrrmmmmmmm something to concider!
