Varmits and Vermin: What Creatures Do You Want?

Raccoons, opossum, armadillo, skunks, alligators, porcupines, snapping turtles, moose, mountain lions, pigs, muskrats, vultures, bullfrogs, geckos, snakes...the Eastern US is full of strange critters that could be made all the more interesting by mutation.

 

And that's not counting the bugs. Trapdoor spiders, giant, exploding maggots, psychotic wasps, honeycombing bees, hulking beetles, freakin' huge mosquitoes, stalking mantises...

 

Or the plants. Makes one wonder what the radiation and mutation might do to the common venus flytrap...

 

 

So, here's a little brainstorming exercise now that we've got the GECK. What mutated creatures do you think we should build?

Yeah man. I'm keen on some huge trapdoor spiders. Surely it must be possible to work them in with some sort of proximity detection similar to how the the landmines work.

No giant spiders, unless they're genuinely unique creatures. I'm sick of giant spiders in roleplaying games. I do miss the Fallout 2 Geckos and Floaters. Stalker had a pretty good take on mutated pigs, cats, and dogs and would make a good reference point. If you're going to add flying creatures, make sure we don't wind up with cliffracers. Creatures that are annoyingly small don't work well, as demonstrated by the bloatflies.

Giant mutant poison frogs would be really interesting and still use the established mechanics of poison spit and lashing tongues.

For specific animals, I'd like to see variations on modern animals. Foxes for instance -- hairless, slightly mutated versions which excel at sneaking around; deers of some sort, or generic small grazing animals which run from the player (used to love chasing after deers in Oblivion trying to hack them with an axe...).

 

Other generic creatures like rats, baby Mirelurks (lots of eggs around but no babies!), some mutated form of mountain lion, etc.
