Let's make the next hybrid monster! (Step Two: How to Make A Norriscentipenguin...)

[Wik]

Okay. After flipping through an old monster manual, I've realized (yet again) that D&D is just a hodgepodge of Chimera creatures. We've got Owl + Bear, Drow + Spider, Man + Horse, and a bazillion other combination critters.

Let's worm our way into D&D obscurity, and combine to make our own critter for the history books.

Here's the game:

Step One: I post a list of about twenty odd animals.
Step Two: We vote on our favourite animal "composite" part. Please, no dirty jokes.
Step Three: Voting closes after a few days.
Step Four: Everyone takes their stab at combining those parts to make a critter. This goes on for a week or so.
Step Five: May the best nomination win.
Step Six:
Step Seven: Profit!

Just realized I forgot to put "pig" on the list, making manbearpig an impossibility.

Crap.

Also, I am so sad that monkey bees were already invented.
