Muttation List

Dragipede — (Sawgrash Marsh) This terrifying creature towers above most of the arena, reaching almost twenty feet when completely extended. Resembling a large centipede with a dragon’s maw this beast was created to be a glass cannon of sorts - with a squishy underbelly it is noticeably weaker than its barkskinned counterpart - but with long jagged fangs and a thick acid spray it is no doubt intended to wreak havoc. Any tribute in the sawgrash marsh will be able to see the beast curled up in peaceful slumber - tucked away in a nest writhing with its young - it will seem to be comatose and unable to be stirred.
40 HP. Not Poisonous. No Food Classification.
Dice Roll: axe + acid spit

Barkskin Treant — (Cypress Swamp) This 20 foot warrior bears the face of every child’s nightmare. With armored bark for skin, it is not an easy opponent to wound, and will not bleed nor feel pain when it is struck. One humanly-shaped arm is dedicated to wielding a sword for combat, while the other is an awkwardly overgrown series of branches, which can be hurled to and fro like a wooden club to shatter the bones of tributes.It moves slowly and clumsily, but packs a powerful punch if tributes are not careful. It is designed specifically for a long, troublesome battle, with no heartbeat to control its fate.
60 HP. Not Poisonous. No Food Classification.
Dice roll: sword + blunt

Arachnobat — (Cypress Swamp, Mangroves, Cornucopia) Despite the misleading name, Arachnobats contain no genetic material that is exclusive to bats; its creators had intended to call it a trapeze spider, which is much less misleading — if less creative — than the portmanteau of 'arachnid' and 'acrobat.' The trapeze spider was not originally designed for use in the Hunger Games, but instead for a less brutal form of entertainment: the circus. Arachnobats were designed to be much larger than your average house spider. They are similar in size to a golden retriever and just as trainable — provided, of course, that they were brought up around humans; those born in the wild are no more friendly than a feral dog or a wolf. Their creators had expected their striking patterns and wide color palette to endear them to Capitol audiences; however, not even their splendid appearance was enough to overcome the arachnid's reputation with mainstream crowds, and thus, the creature was relegated to the Hunger Games.
20 HP. Not poisonous. Not edible.
Dice Roll: knife

Dart Jaguar — (throughout) Like many Capitol experiments, these beautiful mixes of jaguar and poison dart frog didn’t turn out the way they were supposed to. The idea was to create huge cats that could not only rip rebels to pieces, but also poison anyone who attempted to fight back. Unfortunately, no way could be found to make the cats excrete poison; the meat is inedible, and you’d better stay away from their bodily fluids, but their skin is safe to touch. They also lost the advantage of the jaguar’s camouflage; though their base coat is still tan, their spots have taken on the brilliant jewel-like colors of the frogs, making them gorgeous but easy to spot. Simple external contact with their poison is enough to paralyze any tribute for several hours; if it gets into your body, a painful death will follow within half an hour. (You probably won't make it that long, though, because most victims get torn apart and eaten long before that.)
30 HP. Poisonous. No Food Classification.
Dice roll: knife

Spitting Raptor — (throughout) As a larger number of mutts than expected indicate, oftentimes the grotesquely Frankenstinian hybrid animals the Capitol sics on tributes are the result of a miscommunication, and the Spitting Raptor is a prime example. The Gamemaker who ordered this muttation had somehow envisioned a style of spitting lizard, hoping the scientists could resurrect some ancient creature like they did for the stegosaurus. The scientist, however, thought the Gamemaker was referring to the large birds of prey — a reasonable assumption, considering raptors’ fierce talons and predatory instinct — and simply borrowed glands from venom-spitting snakes, creating a dive-bombing, poisonous hunter bird.
20hp. Poisonous. No food classification.
Dice roll: knife

Hellcats — (throughout) Though the name "Hellcat" was an attempt by the creating scientists to pull from the wild popularity of their canine counterparts, this feline certainly does look like a beast straight out of hell. With DNA borrowed from tigers, lions, and the extinct saber-toothed cats, this felid has a luxurious orange coat with black-maned males. Bred for aesthetic reasons as well as for the agility that their hound counterparts lack, Hellcats have eyes that span from amber to flame in color, ringed by a dark circle of black, as well as eight-inch fangs that protrude from their mouths at all times. These cats are excellent climbers and battle strategists; additionally, they have a great sense of smell, though not to the degree of the hound version.
35 hp. Not poisonous. No food classification.
Dice roll: knife

Digitamole — (Freshwater Slough, Cypress Swamp, Sawgrass Marsh) As a means to rid roots of undesirable plants (like rebel food supply), the Rootnibblers would dig underground and basically eat any root - along with their invertebrate diet. The special Rootnibblers are given the name 'Digitamoles'. In the Hunger Games, they are modified, developing an 'acquired' taste for human toes. While hardly bigger than a beagle dog, they have extremely strong upper limbs, breaking through the earth and grabbing by the legs. Giving a thorough licking with long tongues, the dark-brown moles taste the shoe or toes, and their sharp teeth pierce any armor and munch off digits. They will take as many as they can, blinking beady eyes and blood smearing on their long snouts. They hardly look different from a normal mole, minus the detail of a white triangle on the back. They are mostly-blind creatures.
10 HP. Not poisonous. No food classification.
Dice roll: specified in non-combat roll thread

Bloodfeaster — (throughout) Using the DNA of a common house cat, a vampire bat and a leech these compact creatures were affectionately nicknamed ‘ankle biters’. They retained the slimy, black skin of a leech as well as its ability to breathe underwater. Bred specifically for the swamp arena these cuddly creatures lack the ability to eat or digest anything other than the blood of humans or large game. Their mouths resemble large, gaping holes filled with rows of sharp white canines used to latch onto skin. Their saliva is not exactly a toxin but is rich with blood-thinning chemicals and bacteria- infecting said tribute with a short-term blood poisoning.
15 HP. Every deep gash infects tribute with blood poisoning, taking one tick of damage every other round for the duration of the battle. No antidote needed, effects will fade at the end of the day. Non-edible.
Dice Roll: knife

Lesser Dragipede — (throughout) Spawn of the Dragon/Centipede hybrid, these smaller creatures reach about waist height. They retain the insect-like exterior of their broodmother as well as the inane ability to spew acid. The small creatures are agile and will let out a long anguished scream upon death- as though calling to their mother for vengeance.
10 hp. Poisonous. Non-Edible
Dice Roll: knife or acid spit (cannot use both in one turn but can switch between the two)

Nightwing Troll — (throughout) An odd sort of hybrid between a harpie and a troll, this lumbering green-skinned creature has the DNA of both a gorilla and a vulture (its colors are genetically engineered). It prefers to perch upon low-hanging branches, using the feathered webbing between its arms and torso to glide between trees or onto the ground- making these awkward creatures surprisingly stealthy. As very primitive beings they have only the basic ability to communicate with one another through grunts and barks as well as fashioning crude weapons with rocks and sticks.
20 HP. Not Poisonous. Classified as Large Game
Dice Roll: spiked blunt, knife, or spear (you may only choose one weapon for the duration of the mandate)

Muttation Contest Winners:

Panem Pelican: — (throughout)
(Credit to Kay)
One of the largest birds in Panem, the pelican is a coastal menace. With huge, bright yellow jaws and beady little eyes, it patrols the beaches, scooping up fish and shiny objects. The meat isn't worth much, which is unfortunate, given its enormous eight foot wing span. When Gamemakers got a hold of the pelicans, they sharpened the tip of the beak to rival a spear and encouraged it to pluck important items off of tributes.
10 HP. Not Poisonous. Non-Edible.
Dice roll: spear + thievery roll

Crocolisk: — (Mangroves, Sawgrass Marsh, Cypress Swamp, Freshwater Slough)
(Credit to Dars)
By taking the ferocity and the size from the alligator and combining it with the sleek black scales and venom of a cottonmouth, Capitol scientists have created a more lethal cousin to the komodo dragon. They can grow up to 15 feet in length and have traded in their dark green leathery skin for sleek black scales that don't dry out as quickly. They also grow six-inch spikes on their tails, which can be used as a weapon along with their crushing jaws and poisonous fangs.
20 HP. Poisonous. Non-edible.
Dice roll: spike blunt or knife.

Breaver: — (Sinkhole Springs)
(Credit to Charade)
After several attempts to cut costs in district seven with machinery designed to fell several trees at once in areas where the ground was not solid, or roots had become a huge tangle, Capitol scientists tried to go the biological route and designed the Breaver, a conglomerate of several species, including otters, beavers and woodchucks. Unfortunately the first couple specimens were not big enough for the job, so they decided to add in some brown bear dna, with mixed results. While the mutts grew to the size of large dogs and mainly retained beaver features they also developed an omnivorous diet and territorial behavior as well as almost comically oversized teeth. However, after several handlers lost arms and legs to the creatures as they were capable of cutting through flesh and bone as easily as wood, the Breaver project was shelved until they could find a better use for them.
15 HP. Not Poisonous. Classified as large game.
Dice roll: axe

Swamp Rose: — (Mangroves)
(Credit to Lyndis)
With its brightly-colored flowers and stout stems, the Swamp Rose is a beautiful plant, long vines stretching elegantly across the marshy land. Once grown as a decoration in the southern districts, the Swamp Rose proved to be invasive and dangerous, necessitating many protracted clean-up missions. Cultivation in the Districts has since been prohibited, leaving it to continue thriving in the wild lands that make up the Arenas.
Trap Mutt. No Specified HP. Poisonous. Non-edible. Contact with the poisonous pollen of the flowers may cause a variety of neurological effects.
Dice roll: will be revealed in an RE

Sun Swarm: — (throughout)
(Credit to Pogue)
They were invented to dwindle the Rebel's food supply and crops, to destroy and burn faster than the Rebels could produce. A mix between locust, dragonfly, and wasp, the mutt was able to be easily reproduced, combating the short life-spans of the insects that we're used to create them. They came in swarms large enough to block out the sun, and when it was over the Rebels were left with burned pastures and destroyed crops. Modifying the tail of a dragonfly, The Capitol was able to successfully instill a mechanism that allows the insect to snap their tails together, creating sparks and eventually fire. Instead of biting, the insect stings, launching mini balls of fire into the crops it attacked.
20 HP. Not Poisonous. Non-edible.
Dice roll: fire only
