Hybrid Idea “Rat King”
A hybrid that's a really really really big rat lookin thing.
weight: 20+ tons
Length: 70 ft (with tail)
Shoulder Height: 20 ft (in quadrupedal stance)
Diet: Omnivorous
Primarily Nocturnal
Hybrids:
(I tried to stick with mostly mammals)
Hero Shrew - This will serve as the base and skeletal structure. The Hero Shew has interlocking vertebrae allowing it to bear hundreds of times its body weight
Brown Rat - Adaptable diet
Western House Mouse - anticoagulate resistance
Roe Deer - Enhanced bone strength. Despite only weighing 25 kg, this deers femurs can support 1.7 tons of force
Elephant Seal - Enhanced bone density, thick skin and blubber layer and increased blood oxygen levels
Megatherium - Giant Claws
Polar bear - Limb strength and sense of smell. Polar Bears can sense their prey from up to 20 miles away.
White Rhinoceros - Thick armored skin
Thylacoleo - Bite force and jaw structure. Pound for pound Thylacoleo had the strongest bite of any mammal species, living or extinct
Common Vampire Bat - Thermosensation, anticoagulate saliva, and echolocation. Vampire bats, have developed highly sensitive thermosensation, with specialized systems for detecting infrared radiation. Bat saliva contains several compounds that prolong bleeding
Honey Badger - Toughness and venom resistance
Platypus - venom spurs. Platypus have venomous glands connected to hollow spurs in their hind legs. (The Rat King has spurs on all 4 limbs)
Stripped Skunk - stinky
Crested Porcupine - Quills with barbs
Paraceratherium - size
lore:
The majority of the time this species lives its life as a normal, rat sized mammal. However like locust, under certain conditions these rats undergo physiological changes and can become a “rat king” if the situation is right.
