“I acknowledge that creating an experiment with this technique is a rather novel innovation. As much as I pride in the unexpected accomplishment that is 1322, the scientific process rarely succeeds with beginner’s luck. The immediate implementation of the suggested pathogen would pose a great risk to our subject of interest.

Therefore, I propose that the laboratory should test the pathogen on other subjects prior to Penny. It is worth noting any attempts using children may waste any potential purpose for their abilities as candidates for projects. Thus, animal testing would serve as a preferable choice for the development of this new method. Consequently, the team should be able to continue their work on unrelated plans for experiments.”

So I wasn’t really happy with my first Poppy Playtime OC and I decided to make a new one. It’s the same concept with the ability to change between original form and experiment form except that the experiment form is a badger. They’re also designed to have two-sided fur that works like a mermaid pillow where you can pet them one way or the other to reveal a different pattern. The badger toy was made with anxious and fidgety children in mind!

These guys are the successful animal experiments from the development process of the pathogen intended to give this unique ability. Each success entailed their own milestones:

\*\*Betsy\*\*

\- Rat

\- Red fur

\- Yellow eyes

\- Symptoms during pathogen progression consistent with failed subjects

\- Developed ability to willingly transform when presented with difficult obstacles

\- Larger and stronger as a badger

\*\*Benji\*\*

\- Guinea pig

\- Yellow bilateral fur

\- Blue eyes

\- Larger subject

\- Tail successfully grows to badger length and shape

\*\*Bandit\*\*

\- Iguana

\- Blue bilateral fur

\- Red eyes

\- Sufficient fur growth

\- Size closer to human than any previous species

\- HIGHLY DANGEROUS WHEN PROVOKED

\- CAN ESCAPE CONTAINMENT

\- SIGN THAT SCIENTISTS MUST BE CAREFUL WITH THE HUMAN SUBJECT
