Muttation Contest XVII

Name of Mutt: Lady of The Lake
Brief Summary: Originally designed to be a gorgeous party favour, the Lady of The Lake lives up to it's name. Spanning at five feet long and nearly a foot wide, her gliding figure draws the eye in an almost hypnotic way. After attending a beautiful party in a traditional garden, a slightly drunken games technician wanted to recreate the koi she found swimming in a pond underneath a maple tree. She longed to touch the fish that gently swam through the waters, so tranquilly. However, she found this hard to do after many failed attempts, one including nearly falling into the pond herself. That night she went home and dreamt of a koi fish that followed her like a cat. a few months later, she had managed to create one.

The Lady is an Albino Koi fish that swims on land, only a foot or so off the ground. Using slightly larger fins, she swims through a foggy mist expelled from her mouth in enormous, long bursts. Altogether harmless, the Lady was banned from daily use do the fact that over ten in an area can completely cover a section of the city in fog. Sadly, most of them were destroyed. She was later adapted for use in the games, able to expel a sulphur-laced poison gas and exist in it. More a spectacle than anything, The Lady comes in handy when a quick wash of fog is needed for aesthetic reasons.

Name of Mutt: Mordred
Brief Summary: After The Lady was adapted for games use, Mordred was invented to be the Yin to her Yang. Entirely black in colour, down to his rather large eyes, Mordred is also a koi fish spanning at five feet long and around a foot wide. Mordred cannot exist without the Lady as he cannot expel the fog needed to swim through air. What Mordred does do however, is something rather more sinister. In order to protect The Lady's that swim with him, he expels something the technicians have coined a 'wraith'.

The wraith that Mordred can expel is never more than the idea of a figure of someone in the sulphur fog, usually distant from Mordred's target and just out of reach but always taunting. The wraiths cannot harm a tribute but they have been known to lead them down the wrong path, whether that is off a very high up cliff or right into the sword of another tribute. Extremely playful and highly protective of The Lady's that they guard, Mordreds are known for leading tributes to their doom.

Name of Mutt: Mountain Slug    

Brief Summary: the Mountain Slug is a two feet long, 1 foot wide slug than is covered in soil and rocks. If you see a mountain slug, it looks like a normal rock. Don't get close, or touch it. The Mountain Slug can emit poison and other toxins through its tail. The slug, and lift itself up and It looks like a slimy buff thug, but slug like. The capitol designed the Mountain Slug for more desert terrain, and for the rebels to hide behind them, and the slugs transfer poison to the rebels, eliminating them from their "protection" The Mountain Slug, also can emit a high frequency sound that attracts prey, and other Mountain Slugs

Name of Mutt: Gra-Gnats 
Brief Summary:  Sometimes, muttations are a result of Capitol geneticists creating an animal that filled a particular niche in society until it became obsolete. Sometimes, muttations are a holdover from the dark days, brought back to life from the annals of history for the entertainment value.  And sometimes, sometimes, muttations  were a mistake. Gra-gnats belong to the third category.  Originally envisioned as a pet, if you can believe that, the Gra-gnats are a strange creature.  One part gnat, one part rat, one part crab and one part hummingbird. They resemble rocks about the size of a palm, with wings that unfurl from their bodies and beady little black eyes.  

And teeth.  Way more teeth than anything that small should have.  Who wouldn't want a pet rock that you could feed?  As it turned out, the answer was next to nobody, mainly because they forgot to make sure the damn things were herbivores and the Gra-gnats had a nasty habit of forming huge swarms, biting off fingers, and literally flinging themselves at people like rocks thrown out of a slingshot; and believe it or not, they pack a nasty punch.  The plans scrapped, they were put in the queue for potential arena mutts instead, as rocks that weren't rocks but little bastards instead were sure to liven up the entertainment factor. 

Potential Locations: Granite Flats, quarry? 10hp? I imagine they're a bit more durable than say, those 5hp cave rats, on account of the crab dna.

Name of Mutt: Crystal Trolls
Brief Summary: The Crystal trolls were developed by the Capitol in an effort to increase their defense. That failed when they accidentally made them quite peaceful instead. Their height differs from between as small as a cat to as large as a mansion. When they turned out to be peaceful, the Capitol struggled to control them. They were good for getting rid of all kinds of gems and stone, as they were the only thing the Trolls could eat. They were named Crystal trolls because of how much they could eat. Every gem eaten resulted in a growth spurt of some kind. Some trolls didn't get much bigger than the average woman.

They're physical features consist of everything made of stone. They're somewhat humanoid in shape and walk on two legs, but they're quite odd other than their human-like body. They're eyes are made out of gems that they have eaten, and can range from one eye up to twelve. They do not have a mouth or nose. Instead, their food goes through a slit in its stomach. Genderless, it can have up to fifteen stone arms. Everything it eats contributes via growth spurts, adding new limbs or eyes.. Try not to get stepped on one.

Potentially native to Henge and Crooked Mountain.

Name of Mutt: The Diva Plant
Brief Summary: (consider including previous uses [why the Capitol developed them], rough size/physical features, and general behavior, as well as any additional information you may have and please note that this should be no more than a paragraph — see the Muttation Page on the Site Wiki for examples.) A small carnivorous plant that attracts by appearing and tasting like a favorite food but contains microscopic bacteria that eat through a body in 2 days. It was originally genetically modified to be given as a special treat at Capitol parties but, due to a lab error, spawned the nasty little flesh eaters. An anti bacteria antidote was made for it but it is extremely expensive and difficult to know when to use due to the fact that, the only indicator of having eaten a diva plant is a slight ringing of the ears.
Poision, Edible, or Neither? (please note that this may be changed by the GMs based on need) Edible
