Congratulations! You have been selected by your government's Chimera program, to enhance your inferior human body with non-human animal attributes. Which do you choose?

X-ray vision

Ability to fly

ESP or the ability to selectively capture other peoples’ thoughts.

Do they have to be actual animal attributes?

Intelligence of a crow or dolphin
Wings of a raptor
Strength and fierceness of a lion

Yes, they have to be animal attributes.
Of existing animals.
So no xray-vision, esp, or Ki blasts.

So how about a GA for my perspicacity, loli?

Racing stallion! a-OO-ga!

Dolphin brain.
Alligator immune system.
Ability to breathe underwater.

Wings of an eagle.
Speed of a gazelle.
Beauty of a lion.

Ability to find water
Ability to disappear into my environment by camouflage or concealment
Ability to sleep in the mud for 100 years and wake up refreshed

Which sounds good for survival, but not much fun.

For fun, I’d like

The attitude of an otter
The agility of a monkey
The plumage of a rainbow lorikeet

But I’d still like to be able to read.

SPIDER: ability to project super strong and sticky web material from a gland below my wrists.
RAVEN: so I can fly everywhere.
T-REX: general awesomeness and great teeth.

I choose to get the hell outta Dodge. And don’t give Uncle Sam any bright ideas. He’s been acting pretty strange the last few decades. And getting progressively worse.

Plant Chloroplasts so I could feed off of the sun. Plant or lizard regeneration so I can regrow lost limbs. Then shark teeth to regrow teeth.

An octopus’s ability to change the color (and texture and shape) of their appearance at will.
The ability to scale walls/stick to otherwise smooth vertical or upside-down surfaces (I’m thinking geckos or insects).
Ability to breathe underwater selectively (so basically gills I can close up when not in use), or at the ability least hold my breath for an extended period of time like marine mammals or sea turtles.
Wings of some variety… that are functional for flying; I’m not looking to sport them ostrich-style! Or at least an ability to jump much farther than I can.
Tetrachromatism—yellow-light sensitive cones in my retinas (like butterflies, and some other species) so I can see more colors.
A parrot’s ability to mimic sounds. (I mean, there are humans that can do this very well already, I’m just not one of them).

Otter and monkey

I must do fuck all, but I choose to say this…

1) Shit where I please
2) Rag the shit out of a plush toy
3) Do sexy time in front of David Attenborough
