This is not our usual animal crossbreed contest-- in this contest, your challenge is to mate 3-4 different animals into one strange beast, as in the themepost. You'll need to mate at least three, but no more than four animals. NO actual mating (as bizarre as that would be) we just want to see the results, the offspring, and your goal is to make the blend as seamless as possible - we're talking nature photography here, not montage.
The rules of this game are thus: Create a new animal using at least three but no more than four animals. Make sure your new creature looks believable and natural - let's create some new net hoax legends here! Please do NOT resubmit entries you have used in previous Chimaera contests. As always, quality is a must. We will remove poor entries no matter how much we like you. You'll have 48 hours to submit for this contest, so make your submission count.
