Blender Dog

A breed of dog genetically engineered with a blender grown from it's skull. Blender Dogs make great pets, and can blend at three different speeds.

Octocat

Octocats are bizarre mutations, created by accident by a student of experimental biology. The creatures were licensed out to the Cixtrix corporation and sold as designer pets. The venture was a financial failure, as most pet owners considered the creatures "slimy," and "disgusting."

Lizitchzu

A Lizitchzu is a designer pet created using genetic material from a Shitzu and Iguana. The resulting creature is incredibly friendly and loyal, and also loves water and sunbathing for extended periods of time.

Floob

Floobs are small, dog-like creatures created as designer pets by splicing pig, chihuahua, and human DNA. The creatures are highly intelligent, bordering on a human level intellect. Floobs are nearly universally banned world wide, but are still sold in a highly lucrative black market.

Turtle Slug

Turtle Slugs are scientific chimeras, genetically engineered by the Cristix corporation for the designer pet market. Although they were significant sellers, they soon lost popularity as most children found them slow moving and "boring."

Scrappato

Scrappatos are a breed of designer pet created by the Cristix corporation. They are a combination of canine, amphibian, and dinosaur DNA. The result is a complex, warm blooded hybrid with the personality of a dog. Scrappatos were a financial success and kept the Cristix corporation from bankruptcy.

Kittahpillar

A new genetically engineered pet from the Cristix corporation. Kittahpillars combine the DNA of common ordinary house cats and exotic South American butterflies. The resulting creature is a very, very long cat with multiple segments and off-colored spots. Kittahpillars were initially very successful, but complaints began to roll in once the creatures began to pupate.

Fidopholump

The Fidopholump is another designer pet by the Cristix corporation, this one genetically engineered by a combination of dog, kangaroo, and grizzly bear. The resulting creature is large and friendly. The Fidopholump sold well and was a huge success. It soon became apparent that the creatures were highly protective and territorial, and would attack anything perceived as a threat to it's master, especially other Fidopholumps. A cottage industry of Fidopholump training schools have appeared to address this problem.

Owlcat

A bizarre cross-breeding of an owl and a cat, the Owlcat retains characteristics of both species. Winged and feathered like an owl, but playful and cuddly like a cat, the creature was a smash hit for the Cristix corporation's designer pet division. Hundreds of thousands of Owlcats were sold, and today large societies of Owlcat aficionados exist online and elsewhere.

Octosaurus Rex

The Octosaurus Rex is the third attempt by the Cristix corporation to enter the designer pet market. Hundreds of man-hours and hundreds of thousands of R&D dollars were spent in it's development. When it was finally unveiled there was immediate backlash from parent groups. No one seemed interested in purchasing what was obviously a dangerous animal as a pet. The few that were sold had a tendency to grow to out of control sizes - some 20 feet or more due to the dinosaur DNA. The Cristix Corporation never recovered from this debacle, and today exists solely as an online distributor of shovelware.

Octoparachix

The Octoparachix is the second attempt of the Cristix corporation to break into the genetically engineered designer pet market after the failed Dwurm debacle. DNA was taken from a chicken, parrot, and octopus. The resulting creature, dubbed "Octoparachix" was extremely dangerous, known to attack small children and eat other pets (cats, dogs, etc.) Some financial success was made selling the creature to security firms to be used as attack dogs.

Dwurm

Dwurms are the result of a failed venture into the designer pet market by the Cristix corporation. Created by genetically engineering a duck with lizard, bot fly, and deep sea worm genes. The resulting animal, while stable, was generally thought of as "ugly" by consumers. After widespread reports of Dwurms running away and migrating south for the winter they were pulled from the market.
