| + | ==== Tankard Rats ==== | ||
| + | Originally bred merely to be exploited by the Capitol as lab rats with a size more comparable to humans, the average Tankard Rat stands six feet tall when on its hind legs, typically between two hundred and three hundred pounds. The Capitol eventually dismissed the project, as the giant rats became too violent and impossible to control: they fought with each other, they attacked their captors, and damaged lab equipment. While they are no longer used as test subjects, the Capitol had a hard time eradicating the rats completely, as they took to living underground in tunnels and sewers. They are aggressive territorial, rarely operating in groups larger than pairs. | ||

| + | ==== Digitamole ==== | ||
| + | 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. | ||

| + | ==== Delivery Word ==== | ||
| + | The docile and loyal Delivery Words (commonly called 'Words') are extremely adaptable and capable of crossing lands and bodies of water to deliver mail for the cost of a couple sunflower seeds. Delivery Words usually prefer to fly away from combat. Their meat is highly delicious and packed with essential vitamins. It is not hard to spot a Delivery Word, with their black feathers, gray-specked eyes, and tendency to honk loudly; however, Words can be hard to capture with its ability to withstand high acidity. The main area of the Delivery Word is at the Acid Lake middle, where its white-spotted back and straight tail feathers taunt hungry people. | ||

| + | ==== Siren ==== | ||
| + | '''Created by Chaos.''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Capitol noted that certain species of animals were getting out of control with unrestrained breeding. They came up with a hybrid; a giant bird (Martial Eagle) with an enormous wingspan, and a large snake (Black-headed python and Burrowing Cobra). Slower than the large deer and cats they hunted, the three-foot horrors would flap in silently - with their seven-foot ashen wings - as they slept and wrap around their necks, sliding their tongues into the prey's mouth and send a paralyzing poison down, asphyxiating them. Their high body heat has them eating constantly. It camouflages itself in the dense trees and wait for hours on end. Though having almost no fangs, any inflicted injury is slathered in crippling venom. When feeding they hum strange, lullaby-like noise - hence their namesake. While the head is extremely toxic - it is where the tongue and all the toxin resides - the rest of the Siren's body is edible. It will remain warm long after dying and is able to be cooked and eaten, the meat resembles ridged layers with a rubbery feel | ||
| + | '''Poisonous. Edible (Large Game). 25 HP.''' | ||

| + | '''In-Game Activity''' | ||
| + | * Attacked [[Snip Bysho]] on Day 2, but was killed almost instantly. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Bakkup ==== | ||
| + | '''Created by Raeoki.''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | When District 10 stopped providing the Capitol farm products in the Rebellion, they panicked. They made the "Bakupp." It gave milk; its offspring came in eggs; and it grew wool. The long, sharp-horned males were violent, aggressive, and endangered handlers' lives; the small females were calmer but produced little. When the war ended, all Bakupp were "dealt with." Bakupp look like cows with a coat of wool and have large chicken feet. Both genders can easily kill by brute strength. The females are docile (to a point); the males will happily kill the whatever they see. Bakupp do not travel in herds. They are herbivorous though few males are reported to have tried to eaten their handlers. Note that tributes will be unable to milk or retrieve eggs from Bakkup in the arena. | ||
| + | '''Not poisonous. Edible (Large Game). 20 HP.''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''In-Game Activity''' | ||
| + | * Two Bakkups fought [[Maia Grayson]] and [[Weldon Morris]] on Day 3, resulting in Weldon's death. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Spore Slugs ==== | ||
| + | '''Created by Magnet.''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | Spore slugs were developed by the Capitol for gardening, as they eat mushrooms and other weeds. The fact that they ate weeds made them very popular until their overwhelming numbers forced the slugs to eat the plants which the gardeners intended to grow for food. They can survive off of most flora, but have an affinity for mushrooms. The slugs contain a poison that will slowly start to weaken the nerves until the target goes blind, always within a day. They are an inch long at most and their toxin is absorbed through the skin. | ||
| + | '''Poisonous (special toxin). Not edible. N/A HP.''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | Like Latch Crabs, Spore Slugs are generally considered a trap muttation, as their primary inclusion is in [[Random Events|random events]] and they have no combat capabilities. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Guard Granadillos ==== | ||
| + | '''Created by Ragneroc.''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | Guard Granadillos are usually knee high in size. These Granadillos were bred to serve as guard dogs, because of their rocky appearance they could be posted outside restricted areas and be mistaken as rocks and therefore ignored. Guard Granadillos are extremely vicious, and will attack anyone who gets to close to the place they are guarding. They can be trained to guard a specific area and to patrol up to a one mile radius. Guard Granadillos work well in packs, and are actually capable of setting up guard rotations, if adequately trained. | ||
| + | '''Not poisonous. Not edible. 20 HP.''' | ||

| + | '''In-Game Activity''' | ||
| + | * Fought with [[Zuka Faybi]] and [[Nadene Albertine]] on Day 4, breaking Zuka's foot and shin. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Pacifish ==== | ||
| + | '''Created by Phunke.''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Capitol's sewers, in recent years, became home to dangerous superbacteria, which would be recycled into drinking water, resistant to chemical extermination. The Symphurus Exocoetidae, nicknamed ‘the Pacifish’ for bringing peace, thrives in highly acidic waters and feasts on bacteria and other vermin. Highly attracted to light in the dark, Pacifish could be guided by with flashlights. Unfortunately, the Flying Fish heritage (which gave the attraction to light) gave them flight. The Pacifish’s streamlined body and powerful, large fins allow it to propel violently hundreds of feet through the air and attack with painfully-acidic bites when lacking animals to eat. Each Pacifish is 1.5-2 feet long and weighs about 5 pounds, ‘wingspan’ being 2-3 feet. While peaceful during the day, light in the dark is met with a Pacifish attack - sometimes with a school of them. Each can usually only survive to bite once. | ||
