Attention Members! Would you like to contribute to the 70th Hunger Games from a Gamemaker's standpoint? Here's your chance to contribute!

Come up with a "muttation" or other genetically altered wild beast using the following form, and reply to this thread with your finished product. The best mutts may be included in the 70th 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, 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.

You have until the 4th of June to submit. Enjoy!

Name of Mutt: Gigantaroach
Brief Summary: like the bugs that seem to always find a way into your house? Of course you don't, that is why the Capitol developed the Gigantaroach. During the Dark Days the Capitol created this massive human sized cock roaches to swiftly and cleverly find ways into rebel camps. With every feature of an actual cock roach along with extra razor sharp claws for combat. Not to mention these beasts are one hell of a terrifying sight, if you dislikes bugs that is. However, since the end of the war these mutts have had no use... Until now, with tiny tributes for them t seek and kill they finally can reclaim their title. They are ready to prove that no one can truly kill a cock coach.
Poision, Edible, or Neither? Neither

Name of Mutt: Mulefang
Brief Summary: The need for speed and entertainment, that was the reason these beasts of mutts were invented. At first scientists wanted to make mutts perfect for many Capitolites watching race and cheering on. However after this hideous mix of a horse and a wolf was created they could never race for the Capitol. They were too ugly with a head and claws of a wolf and the body of a silver horse. Although never used, they finally have a purpose with the vast arena of the 70th games they can finally prove the true alpha predators they are. With these mutts the Capitol can truly see how fast tributes can run from these speedy trackers.
Poision, Edible, or Neither? Edible

Name of Mutt:
Sinking Worms
Brief Summary:Does thought of been sucked under ground, while casually walking along frighten you? Because Sinking Worms do just that. 6 feet long, with a 3 feet wide mouth, Sinking Worms drag their prey underground, and straight into their gut. Adapted by The Capitol alongside many other mutts too tackle rebels or citizens who had wandered into the forest, the Sinking Worms gives a clean and slow death. Drilling it's grey head up and out of the ground, the worm grabs the victim by it's legs and drags them back underground, while trying to swallow them hole. It takes a long time, as the worms esophagus gets tighter and tighter as it goes down. The mutt was abolished due to it getting into thedistricts such as 10 and swallowing up Livestock. It also kept leaving holes everywhere, whenever it attacked someone, so people regularly fell into them.But the Sinking Worm may soon have some use...
Poision, Edible, or Neither? Neither

I made up this beast in my first year Island Project in English at high school. It was named Question Mark Slug (the island was called Question Mark island as my group couldn't come together with a name)
So here I let my ground sucking beast live on! (hopefully)

Name of Mutt: Ixa
Brief Summary: Developed in the lab by scientists of an extraordinarily high calibre, an Ixa (pl. Ixai), is a genetic modified snake created to clean the inside of pipes. Feasting on bacteria and dirt, these snakes have become renown for their short, sharp teeth which allow them to carve away at any surface to fulfil their stomach's desires. With glistening, bright scales of many colours, the creators of the Ixai know all too well that looks can be deceiving. Recently, light had been brought upon Ixai after the injury of a young boy who had his foot severed by the razor teeth of the animals.
Poision, Edible, or Neither? Neither, their skin is exceedingly tough and would cause bleeding of the gums.

Name of Mutt:Guinealion
Brief Summary: This monstrous creature feasts on the awful meal of... carrots? This startling creature mix happened when mutt creators thought people could use another pet that was vegetarian and docile. It has the body of a cuddly lion and the head of an adorable guinea pig. And it was vegetarian and docile, most of them. After a while of many capitolites getting these huge adorable pets it became apparent that some of them had a certain muttation in one gene that caused them to be overly aggressive. All gunealions were called in to see which ones had the irregularity in the gene and were taken away from those owners who most now had two huge marks on their arms. Those guinealions were exterminated, but now the gamemakers see fit to bring them back, the ones with the bad genes, not the good ones, to trick the tributes with their cuteness before destroying them.
Poision, Edible, or Neither? edible but i mean why would you eat such a cutie?

Name of Mutt: Geargrinders
Brief Summary: The sound of gears grinding sound through the factory in district eight as workers move stuff about. With this new, alive, technological advancement the factories in district eight and three can make their products faster. They are shipped like individual gears, but work together as a machine. They are silver and communicate telepathically with each other. They are no longer used in factories after the breeding process was disrupted by a mutation in their genes which made them smarter, and they revolted destroying all the factories the new ones worked in and fleeing to the wilderness after attacking many people. They have now been rounded up though and set as a pleasant surprise for all the tributes of this hunger games. Their gear grinding I'd sure to destroy you.
Poision, Edible, or Neither? neither
(Idea: roll die to see how many come per 1 group which counts as one attacking mutt. 10-20 and that is their health.)

Name of Mutt: Molepire

Brief Summary: These are moles, but they are almost the size of a Great Dane, which are brown, black and white in colour. Despite this, below their fairly normal facade as a normal garden animals, there is a secret that the gamesmakers had to put into it. They added claws that are also used as shovels, but are quite able to rip a throat or two out of the tributes if so needed. Also, hidden inside the almost cute face, there are fangs, inside which contains a type of poison, always coated with the blood of something, occasionally it's own kinship. Walking on it's back legs, it's quite likely something the tributes would learn to avoid and hate. Normally attack in pairs, or sometimes 3's, but rarely.

Poision, Edible, or Neither? Poison, and edible if cooked.

Name of Mutt: Time-keepers

Brief Summary: These creatures were originally used as a pet by Capitol families to tell the passing of hours, which looking at a clock would be easier, to be honest, but if you're rich, even clocks are below you. But they were similar to bears, sitting on their hind legs, calling out with a roar or something when the hour came along. And then, the gamemakers saw potential, and with glee, decided to make it a war weapon for tributes. Removing the time telling usage, they added clock-like markings to their body, and added in teeth, and claws, both of which curve around the chin and wrist, respectively. Also added, the gamemakers saw an opportunity within it, and again added metal armour, under the skin, almost steampunk in design, leaving gears and stuff raised under the skin, which covered it's head and back. They also made the armour under it's skin to move, making a quiet ticking sound like a clock, and causing it immense pain, making it angry, permanently. It now lurks away, and hidden within the archives, and this year, maybe, will be the year upon which they'll be released, and hopefully cause some tributes clocks to be stopped.

Imagine this with clock like markings, and long claws and teeth, and it's very similar to how I see it at the moment.

Poision, Edible, or Neither? Neither, but maybe drops armoured hide? Maybe also have a timer thing with them, where for every 3 attacks they do, they have to miss a turn because so the pain? up to you really with those.

Name of Mutt: Pteroclaws
Brief Summary: These mutts are dinosaur-like. They are formed like a smaller form of a pterodactyl, scaled wings and sharp, razor sharp claws that can grip nearly anything, and they have strength to pick up double their body weight. They were originally made to infiltrate rebel camps, lifting up supplies and if need be, kill, though they dumbed them down enough to just fly in and steal all kinds of supplies, and made them less deadly in the long run. They were later trained and released in isolation, very few were bred even smaller, for the convenience of the Capitolites. The Pteroclaws can be used to dive in on tributes, and steal their items, taking them away to their nests, most likely destroying tributes items. They are not nearly as violent now, and only attack if they are attacked first. Example, if a tribute is camping, a Pteroclaw can fly in, steal some items, and never attack, but will attack if the tribute shoots an arrow.
Poision, Edible, or Neither? Edible, if you really wanted to.

Name of Mutt: Ratatoueur (get it?!

)
Brief Summary: This mutt was designed as pest control in factories. It's a large dust-brown serpent, when full grown it's four feet long and six inches wide. But don't let that fool you, it's boneless, unlike most snakes, which have spines, so it can conform to any shape and size it squeezes into. That's what allows this mutt to lurk inside of ventilating systems, corners, under and within small nooks and crannies, and basically anywhere in a building pests could hide. They have a venom that kills small animals and bugs, such as rats, mice, roaches, etc. But when their venom is used on larger prey, it has a paralyzing effect, the effects of severity and longevity decreasing the larger the prey. They are still used to this day in factories, but the Capitol has to recall and kill them after a few generations have been allowed to grow because the longer the bloodline, the more aggressive these creatures get.
Poision, Edible, or Neither? Poison

Name of Mutt: Terratern
Brief Summary: A bird invented by the Capitol to be specifically hardy and territorial. They were placed near rebel camps in the time of the rebellion and cameras would be placed in their nests, which would be in the oddest little places one could find. It worked for a while, because the Capitol could spy on the rebels, and the rebels wouldn't go near the nests because these little buggers were so aggressive and territorial over their nests, what you could call guardians of the spy equipment. These birds are about the size of a fist and are white and black, with beaks like needles. They often prefer to be separate from one another, but if one lets out a distress call, you better expect a flock to arrive soon. And those flocks were some of the most dangerous forces of nature the rebels faced.
Poision, Edible, or Neither? Edible

Name of Mutt: MechaBytes
Brief Summary: About the height of a grown man's hip, these wild dogs are not simply feral animals. Underneath their fur, exposed where skin has been shredded away, are robotic skeletons that contol every movement of the animal. The majority of the creature has a metal bone structure, but along with the odd natural bone the rest of the dog is living flesh. Strangely, the teeth haven't been replaced with more effective steel but instead left as natural within a steel skull. Originally, the mutts were well cared for and designed as high-level performance dogs that could be programmed to do any trick imaginable. When the program became dysfunctional the mutts turned on their handlers and each other until they were eventually shut down. The mutts used now are the same ones that had the initial problem, their tattered appearance adding to their fearsome effect.
Poision, Edible, or Neither? Neither, though you definitely wouldn't want to eat them.

Name of Mutt: P.N.T. (Parasitic Nanotechnology)

Brief Summary: Long before the war between the Districts and the Capitol, and many many years before Panem, America's top scientists had developed plans to develop nanobot technology, for use in medical procedures and to further advance it's technological weaponry. However, limited technology led to many of the experiments being duds, and the ones that were successful breaking down within seconds. Ultimately, the plans were stored away for later use. When Panem rose as a nation, and the war between the Capitol and the Districts had reached it's peak, the original plans for the nano project were found in an abandoned research laboratory, while Capitol scientists were scavenging for any technology that had been lost.

Planning to use the technology against rebels in the war, the Capitol immediately set up the Nano Project, determined to develop the world's first nanotechnology. After many sleepless nights and tireless work, a small lab was successful in creating the first ever group of nanobots capable of reproducing on their own. Initial reports of the nanotechnology were incredibly successful, with reports of the technology being able to replace the skin of animals, rapidly healing small cuts. As well, the bots were able to receive and interpret directions given to them. However, reports soon turned sour, labeling the bots as more of a rapidly producing parasite than a controllable technology. Test animals were taken over completely, the bots wiring into their nervous systems and becoming unremovable. Although they could not completely infect humans, the bots could cause irritation and pain amongst a limb if a person came in contact with the bots. After the nanotechnology became responsible for shutting down the lab for hours, the projects funding and resources were cut off completely, with the nanobots being put into a dormant state and the test animals being caged. Although it did not find use in the war, the Capitol decided to tweak the technology so that it is more controllable, infecting normal animals and mutts with the parasitic technology, making them aggressive and lethal.

Poision, Edible, or Neither? Don't eat robots, that's a bad idea. What if it could heal a SC done to a mutt like every other turn or something? Perhaps could cause minor irritation/pain when infected with them.

Name of Mutt: Clorachnid ~~[v uncreative ikik]~~
Brief Summary: Usually living in fear of a bug or insect of sorts crawls around your house, or around you while you sleep. The Capitol engineer's have designed a specific arachnid that fits just perfectly with the very unique climate of this years arena. Roaming every crack & crevice and all over the surface of the arena, they are attracted to the sound of tributes. They roll in packs of few and are anywhere between a two to three feet estimate in size. In combat they attack with either their razor sharp legs, as well as the occasional bite from their highly venomous pincers. A tribute can sense them coming with the slight sound of ticking in which they do all their actions with involuntarily, they are clockwork and run on gears and metal. They normally aren't very hostile, unless someone enters their territory, in which they will come after said individual.
Poison, Edible, or Neither?: Poisonous
