Here's a character design I'm toying around with for Mona Lisa for a upcomming project. She broke a longstanding rule on the show where mutants who were originally animals go nakie, and mutants who were originally humans wear clothes. The punk frogs broke it earlier; but regardless, I feel that she needs clothes if for no other reason to hide her naughty-bits. (Another long standing cartoon tradition, if a character has no clothes, they have no goodies.) Also here's a paragraph from Wikipedia for those of you who missed OS#83.
"What kind of creature she is supposed to be has always been shrouded in mystery. After an explosion on Filch's sub she emerged in her present form, unlike the creation of 99% of the other mutants on the show no mutagen or animal was in sight. All we know is that she has webbed fingers, can jump extremely high, and uses her highly developed legs for attacking. She physically resembles a salamander or a newt, only with breasts and hair (distinctively mammalian traits). Given that Captain Filch's henchmen were genetically-enhanced crossbreeds of many sea creatures, it is safe to assume that she is also composed of a variety of different animal types. The show’s infamous amphibian/reptile uncertainty notwithstanding, it is believed that she was intended to be an amphibian (who swims like a fish and jumps like a frog). The toy made for her mistakenly referred to her as a lizard, only confusing fans further."
