X is for Xenobiology
Not many know this, but there are many things kept secret in the world of science. Crossing species through scientific research is frowned on these days, but a long while back it was the talk of the town. However it was expensive to research and develop such things. And often the results became oddities at freak shows.
Take for example these two fellows. They were called Fishmen (not to be confused with mermaids). They were created in a lab, and survived, however due to their limited mobility they could only host lectures, and create their own hybrids
Inside the tank, this a Manfish. It wasn't that successful, for you see, the fish half needs water, and the man half needed air. As a result, the manfish had to come up for air so often, it eventually starved to death, because it had no time to eat. It was nicknamed the Egress, a name used to describe the exiting of water. There were a few that tried to imitate the Egress and claimed they had one, but this was the original.
