Too tempting.
Upon later reflection, I'd have a Sphynx cat with functioning bat-wing & that can fly. Maybe mutate a Flying Fox into Full Human Looks, but keep her size normal and the wings as separate limbs.

I would probably make a pony sized hippogriff or small griffin.

The EGG was only mentioned in the pre-Crash history; it's not actually a device that can be used in the game.

EGGs suitable for growing dogs, cats and other pets quickly caught on. Within months, people all over the world were experimenting by mixing genes from different animals, and even from humans (which was against the law, but since every human carries a full set of human chromosomes ... ).

Think of them as an artificial womb tank.

That's REAL LIFE. I'm talking PALLADIUM. Confuse the two at your own peril :)

I'd mix the genes of a lizard, a cat, and a primate, add functioning bat wings that are separate limbs, a scorpion sting to the tail, and try to make sure it has an acceptable level of intelligence. I would shoot for sharp claws, teeth, and two horns; small wings on the back (providing the power of flight); and the level of intelligence should allow it to understand what one is saying to it. On the defensive end, I would look for it to be quick, nimble, and strong (being able to carry a human in flight, several times heavier than itself). I would look for ways to give it the ability to spit fire so it would need to be immune to the extreme heat and flames that it could generate, and would also be able to withstand high heat delivered by others to a certain degree. It should be able to immerse itself in a pool of lava without a scratch (just because, really, I think it is something Dragons should be able to do).

I've always wanted a pet dragon (pseudo-dragon, dragonet, whatever you want to call it). :)

I would not go so out there myself. I would just take the DNA of my favorite critter and make more evolved humanized for of it.

Animal: Secret
Hands: Full
Speech: Full
Biped: Full
Looks: None

Alterations to its food requirments, temp tolerences, Boost the old IQ and improve social adaptions then we're golden. Sometimes just having a best bud who is cool to hang with is worth more than anything.

Make a 6 foot tall monster that is just a Human Big Toe with arms and legs, or maybe a Popsicle guy.
