6.2 Animals/Enemies

6.2.2 Hawke

This creature will want to hang back until it sees an opportunity to attack and then swoop down to do some quick damage. It has fairly good range since it can also do damage with its snake tail.

6.2.3 Turtear
A mix between a giant turtle and a bear. It will have the body of a bear with the shell of a turtle on its back. This combination of characteristics will cause it to be very powerful along with having high defenses to defend against attacks. A disadvantage it has is that is has to be at a close range in order for its attacks to connect.

6.2.4 Tarkion
A special animal hybrid that fused together from three different animals. It’s a combination between a tiger, shark, and a scorpion. It is extremely ferocious and has the high attack power of all three animals it’s made up of. It has the speed of a tiger, the hard exoskeleton of a scorpion, and the killer instinct of a shark.

6.2.5 Whaguana
A hybrid between a blue whale and an iguana. It with have the body and size of a whale except that its tail will extend out a long ways like an iguana’s would. Also, it would have 4 iguana-like legs and feet so it could travel on land. Although it’s extremely slow, it will be very powerful and difficult to defeat. Since it has the long iguana tail it can attack the player from long ranges and also shoot a high-powered jet of water at the player.
