Lava Tuber

Although they resemble plants, Lava Tubers are actually animals, similar to the worms that live near deep sea vents. They have developed a thick chitinous outer shell which allows them to exist immersed in liquid magma for short periods of time. The creatures feed by absorbing bacteria with their fleshy "leaves." Colonies of Lava Tubers usually attach themselves to the walls of volcanoes and only swim in the magma when they reach the adult stage.

Pachuliwurm

Pachuliwurms are overlarge mutations made from human and several species of deep sea worm genes. The experiment began as a way of creating genetically engineered human beings capable of surviving in extremely harsh environments. the Pachuliwurms began as small larvae, but soon matured into 12 foot adults and quickly escaped from confinement. Several made their way into the sea, and have been found forming primitive communities around deep sea vents in the Pacific.

Pachytiline

The Pachytiline is the result of a gene splicing experiment by a couple of junior high school students. Genetic material from various reptiles and deep sea worms was injected into a Lhasa Apso. The resulting mutation took on characteristics donor animals, but retained the dog's friendly personality. The students went on to win first place in the school science fair, and are now currently entering Pachytiline into various dog shows around the country.
