New animals for mutations

Yeah you and me both. It's always been difficult to decide whether or not i'd want said mutant as a protagonist or antagonist. Skunks are scavengers by nature, so it might make an interesting villain. On the other hand, I could see the skunk as a pal too. I'd be fine with it either way.

I dunno. Turtles are supposed to have a really good sense of smell (some species can smell water for a mile or more) so I'm not sure they'd want to hang around with a skunk- they would probably gag from the smell, LOL! (Skunks always have a bit of the smell clinging to them, thanks to the long fur of their tails being so close to the glands and getting hit when they spray.)

I'd love to see a DECENT spider-mutant (a la the Man-Spider from the Spider-Man TAS cartoon) for a change, or perhaps a falcon or a horse.

What about a scorpion and a spider?

Spiders and their webs and scorpions with their poisoning tails.

Spider bytez was a disappointment.

I can tell you that turtles, at least sliders, which the Ninja Turtles have been portrayed as in both Mirage and the live-action movies, and probably Nick cartoon. Are really fast. They move very quickly, and are quite proficient climbers, as they can scale a chicken fence with little to no problems.

Thanks Candy Kappa for the info!

Yeah, a falcon would be very interesting, and so would a horse. I'd also like to see a coyote mutant. So many animals to choose from. A manSpider-like mutant would be neat. Boy, I remember that figure and was he ever ugly? Loved the design and was thinking SpiderBites looked something like that until I got him described to me. Ya know, he could use a girlfriend. Maybe a black widow or something.

Hasn't there already been a coyote mutant in Archie? I'd like a mutant ferret or an opossum. Hmm, maybe a dolphin would be cool? Or a piranha? We've already had a shark and a manta, and the "mer-dude".

An axolotl - he'd have a super regenerative ability, too.

[rickwj324]

An american bald eagle would be a cool mutant.

[Tazi]

In IDW they can combine DNA of different species, and mutate it (after all this is how Bebop & Rocksteady was born, combining humans with rhino/warthog), so how about making a manticore or a gryph for a change?

No joke, a mutated manticore would be pretty cool actually:

That's a great idea. They are creepy-looking but cute at the came time.

First time that i see this thread but i had an idea the other day.
A serial killer Deer, a humanoid body, a dear head with a giant antlers and a treachcoat. (Scary image, ha?)
Other possibilties involve a hiena and a vulture. SHUT UP, i am not wierd!.

Yeah, Her name was Mezcaal, a Mutant Coyote from the future, Who also happened to be Future Raph's girlfriend.

I like a sloth with drunken fist kung fu.

How about animals in need of other martial arts besides just ninjutsu...
- Monkey - Monkey Kung Fu
- Jaguar - Muay Thai
- Mantis - Mantis Kung Fu (Northern & Southern)
- Komodo - Dragon & Shaolin Kung Fu
- Wolf - Jeet Kune Doo

I know we've had frogs before (Genghis, Napoleon, etc), but I'd like to see a Red-Eyed Tree Frog anthropomorphized. I see him as a short, skinny/lanky little fella with maybe a bo-staff. He would be swift and could do amazing acrobatics.

Sort of like this little guy, but minus the tech gear. Instead I'd see him wearing some kind of native garb:

Were you a fan of Street Sharks?

ES... I believe that's the type of frog I was referring to (the red-eyed tree frog).
