This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What other hybrid animals would work as nicely as Owl+Bear?

They exist, at least at the genetic level; they've got goats that give spider silk instead of goat milk (for harvesting lots of spider silk for polymer testing).

I actually knew that. The After the Bomb version is built upon the real world version.

Freaky. Cool, but freaky :D

I think anything with bear would be cool. Wolf-bear.... yeah, bear-sized beastie that runs in packs... ouch. Tiger-bear... gah. Ant-bear..... ok, that's just wierd. Typing them out as they pop in my head, forgive me.

Of course there could also be stuff like a snake-monkey... arborial critter with scales and a venomous bite. We already have bat-mosquitoes and a bunch of other stuff (hippogriffs and such). How about more subtle stuff, like tiger-hounds? I think a wizard could use something as bad-ass as a tiger, but loyal and trainable as a guard dog. Might hafta use that one actually.

Duck + Beaver = Platypus .. not sure I would class them as particularly dangerous (just don't pick the boy ones up, they have a nasty venomous spur). Last time I saw one outside of a zoo was about 10 years ago, and I live near a creek that allegedly has them living wild in it.

Granted, I have many other super deadly shit in my front yard, it's just none of it is quite the combo territory nor owlbear worthy.

However, some of the recently dead megafauna would be scary as..
Wombat + Lion = Marsupial Lion.

Apparently they think that bastard of a creature had more biting force than any mammal ever, and that:

QuoteThe marsupial lion instead had an extremely efficient and unique bite; the incisors would have been used to stab at and pierce the flesh of its prey while the more specialised carnassials crushed the windpipe, severed the spinal cord and lacerated the major blood vessels such as the carotid artery and jugular vein. Compared to an African lion which may take 15 minutes to kill a large catch, the marsupial lion could kill a large animal in less than a minute.

Needless to say, I love setting games in pre-history Aussie times just to pull out nasty buggers like that.
