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?

credit to u/Kallanmon2 for giving me this idea

Hexapod?

Manta rays have six limbs. Could this be applied to a terrestrial? Or even an aquatic. Hexapod hybrids would be really fun.

Matyrdom leak because why not

This is a WIP

Varanus magnificus

  1. Crocodile Monitor: base body frame, strong jaw muscles.

  2. Electroscincus: compound osteoderms covering the entire body..

  3. Senegal Bichir: quad-layer ganoid scale system where the hard, enamel-like ganoine is intricately separated into articulating sections, extremely fast blood clotting.

  4. Argentine Black and White Tegu: hypertrophied jaw muscles.

  5. Frilled Lizard: frill for thermal regulation and cosmetic.

  6. Balaur bondoc: sickle-like claws, two retractable sickle claws per foot, robust body.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. Turkey Vulture: extremely acidic stomach acids, thick stomach lining and throat lining, dietary efficiency.

  10. Spotted Hyena: Enlarged saggital crest, heavily bowed zygomatic arches, stiff mandible, adaptations to survive strong bite.

  11. Komodo dragon: anticoagulants, iron in teeth.

  12. Amblyomma: applies more anticoagulants into the Komodo dragon anticoagulants.

  13. Sperm Whale: thick, muscular stomach walls, myoglobin, ability to start the Cori Cycle.

Worst hybrids?

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

For my folks living in asia

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!

Give me ant enemy and I'll try to taxonomically classify it

Not including npcs

edit: I mean "any"

edit 2: I meant give a real animal it could be based off

Could giant mudskipper water breathing be put on a reptilian aquatic hybrid?

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?

Art block.

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.

Second call for the aquatic titan tournament!

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.
