Speaking of the toys, I remember seeing a tun of Sergeant Bananas on pegs in the early 90's but never managed to find Lionheart. He probably would have been one of my favorites since I'm a cat person.

As for new mutants I'd like to see, the only thing I could come up with is an eel. Always liked the idea of a horse too. Guess I'm not the only one after all. Has there ever been a laughing hyena mutant in the comics? I'd like to see one of those.

Now THAT would be awesome!

(Because goddess knows we don't have enough female mutants, anyway.)

But...They look the same. Jagwar looks like a male Cheetah.

Yeah, that was kinda my point.

[Luckyday]

What about sometime that is a really weird combo like a jelly fish horse?

No, they don't. SUPERFICIALLY, perhaps, but only because of the coloration. For instance, Cheetahs have simple black spots, while Jags (and leopards) have black-blotched rosettes. (Incidentally, jaguars have additional spots inside the rosettes- leopards don't.) Cheetahs are also the ONLY feline without retractable claws. They also have a longer backbone, smaller, narrower head (with smaller canine teeth), longer tail-to-body ratio, lighter bone structure (built like track-runners vs jags built like wrestlers) and longer leg-to-body ratio as well. Also, jaguars and leopards also have the "melanistic" color mutation, which is more commonly known as the "black panther". Cheetahs don't have this. (Although there IS at least ONE "spotless" cheetah in existence, and they can be albino, as well....)

Jaguar body profiles- much easier to see the difference in a black one:

Pair of jags- one normal, one melanistic:

Here's a melanistic leopard that still shows the rosettes:

Size comparison- a jaguar going after a caiman- a cheetah could never do this- it's not strong enough:

A cheetah- notice the very long legs and tail, and the VERY lean shape and small head. These cats can almost literally turn on a dime- and give you five cents change! The pattern is also quite distinctive from the others:

Cheetahs in full run. Notice the slim, long profiles, the narrow heads, small ears, and how far the legs stretch? The one in "front" has it's back legs coming far in front of the front ones. Jags and leopards DON'T run like this- they are too compact and heavily built for that kind of full-out sprint. The cheetah is MADE for speed. The small spots, and "tear lines" on the faces are also very distinct here.

See what I mean? Fun fact- Jags are the third largest (and heaviest) cat on earth, behind tigers and lions. Cheetahs are a distant fifth. (Possibly tied with pumas, but pumas weigh more). Fun fact #2- cheetahs have been used as hunting animals by humans in Africa, the Middle East, and even in Europe, as far back as ancient Egypt. The reason? They are more docile and easier to tame than larger cats.

Penguins.....Mother ****ing penguins.

1. Komodo Dragon

An axolotl. I was messing around one time and I drew a kind of mutant, axolotl luchador character; then I gave it a stupid name. Hurtzolotl... get it? Huts-a-lot-l... har har har... anyway.

Axolotls, or Mexican walking fish are pretty rad in so far as they can regrow severed limbs, which would be a cool gimmicky power for a mutant to have. They also have these blubbery looking gill tendrils with bushy fronds coming out of their heads, which look pretty unique and interesting.

They need to make this a thing.
This design is amazing. It would look great as a 3D model.

Isn't Mona Lisa kind of a Salamander? Even though she's a lizard, But she has webbed hands. Salamanders have webbed feet.

I like this concept, would you mind if I drew my own interpretation of the character?

[Cure]

I've always thought pangolins looked cool.

[Levia24]

Haw about Pegasus mutant? We need something with hooves.

That would make an interesting mutant, Given it's body is armored.
