Enad, the bartarkan
The hybrid I created is made up of a human, shark (tiger shark), and bat (Jamaican fruit bat). The dominant part of the species is the human whom controls the functions of both the shark tail as well as the bat wings while the habitat is that of the tiger shark. The habitat is the ocean, mainly tropical and temperate waters off of North America from Cape Cod to California. The diet of this hybrid is a variety of marine life which is also common to the human's diet, including: lobsters, crab, and shellfish, along with different kinds of fruits that can be found in the trees by the ocean. The Batarkan is able to retrieve these fruits because of their powerful bat wings (which have been conditioned to live and survive in the ocean). The Batarkan is not as aggressive as some of it's ancestors and is actually a quite pleasant species. They spend their days with other Batarkan as well as with other sea creatures such as other sharks and certain species of octopus. These hybrids live in colonies throughout the ocean, similar to humans. They also mate with their same species, in a manner similar to the tiger shark and reproduce in that same way. Although they care for their young in a combination of all three of the individual species this hybrid is made up of. This hybrid is also fascinating especially because of it's ability to adapt to different environments. The humanpart is able to survive in the ocean; they need to wear special goggles in order to see under the ocean and they are able to breathe because of special gills they developed as well as glands that excrete salt from their bodies.
The ocean is a fascinating place full of mysterious creatures.
This is a great idea in theory. But like all great theories they have a down fall. I'm up for the mixing of spiecies in a controlled manner. Not acting like a kid with legos going "O this and that would be cool". Any "animal" that is controlled mainly by the human side would be subject to the same phycological thoughts and feelings such as deppression due to being outcast by others in childhood this can and is a life long thing not some thing that just goes away. There should be some limitations on how far the changing of the human body should go as well as the abbility to reproduce. When DNA from one joins with anothers the possibilities are endless. Predictable but never the less endless. Before we jump to wings and fins posibly start with eye sight like that of an eagle's eyes or muscle structure. Even gills would be acceptable if in a hidable indescrete place. I really hate to bring hollywood into such a matter but the fashion of "Water World" comes to mind. A mix of webbed toes and gills hidden behind the ears. Primarily for land but very well adapted for water.
