Snake HOX Genes.
Snakes basically use this gene to duplicate their ribcage. could this be applied to a four limbed animal to create a hexapod?

Can we use individual specimens to get a polymelia mutation and could it work
For the rules , read my other post. Genesis will not be partaking. Maelstrom will.
Manta rays have six limbs. Could this be applied to a terrestrial? Or even an aquatic. Hexapod hybrids would be really fun.
This is a WIP
Varanus magnificus
Crocodile Monitor: base body frame, strong jaw muscles.
Electroscincus: compound osteoderms covering the entire body..
Senegal Bichir: quad-layer ganoid scale system where the hard, enamel-like ganoine is intricately separated into articulating sections, extremely fast blood clotting.
Argentine Black and White Tegu: hypertrophied jaw muscles.
Frilled Lizard: frill for thermal regulation and cosmetic.
Balaur bondoc: sickle-like claws, two retractable sickle claws per foot, robust body.
Apatosaurus: size increase to 18 tons, raised neural spines, mechanical load bearing that relies on all four limbs instead of being dependent on hind limbs cough cough Rector cough cough beelzebruh cough, air sacs.
Pronghorn: large lungs, enlarged heart, blood volume, dense capillary networks, increased mitochondrial density, excellent oxygen delivery to flood its muscles with so much oxygen that it rarely drops into anaerobic glycolysis. Its muscle tissues process energy completely cleanly, meaning it produces significantly less hydrogen ions and less lactate during sustained exertion, improving endurance and recovery.
Turkey Vulture: extremely acidic stomach acids, thick stomach lining and throat lining, dietary efficiency.
Spotted Hyena: Enlarged saggital crest, heavily bowed zygomatic arches, stiff mandible, adaptations to survive strong bite.
Komodo dragon: anticoagulants, iron in teeth.
Amblyomma: applies more anticoagulants into the Komodo dragon anticoagulants.
Sperm Whale: thick, muscular stomach walls, myoglobin, ability to start the Cori Cycle.
I honestly might say Hank, Leroy, Megatronus, Onyx and Apex Rex(the first few ones) are some of the worst hanks I've seen.
Oh yeah that one "Tama is the saviour"🥀💔
Not including joke hybrids
Would vulture projectile vomit and compound osteoderms be good for a 18 ton monitor lizard
There's an app called 拼多多. There's a HC spino on sale for like 90 yuan. If you don't know how cheap that is search it up. Don't give in to the scalpers!
It should be more like GD
Not including npcs
edit: I mean "any"
edit 2: I meant give a real animal it could be based off
Looking for people who can give good criticism and have good experience.
I mean the dense blood vessels in the lining of the mouth and throat allow it to absorb oxygen through them. The cutaneous respiration. If not, how about an amphibian's?
Something something monquirasaurus was stolen from me something something Bismarck something no credits something
Aquatic told me to use monquirasaurus. Should I believe him?

I don't think I can do art anymore. I have exams coming up. After finishing the document I won't post much anymore. Maybe at September or August I could do something.
Rules:
Needs to be over 150 metric tons and 20 meters.
10 contributors minimum
Genetic modification is allowed to an extent, you can modify and modify to add cosmetics.
Only Real life contributors
One person can only submit 1 hybrid.
It will take place in an arctic environment.
No hanks.
Art doesn't need to be 100% accurate.
Semi-Aquatics are not allowed.
You can set any age for your hybrids, but this is optional. If you don't, I'll just take the hybrid stats. If you do, explain what changes it makes and how you justified it.
The community will decide winners.
