| Smarty Fly is the super genius of the Animals gang. Every good team needs one, and he's their guy. With his brains he could be doing a lot more than just hanging around with the Animals and being stuck in one place, and I've mentioned it in the bio above, but what I also say is that while he could leave them and do so much more, he would also be very lonely and he values his friendship with the others much more than any desire to explore and learn more about the universe. So, he dutifully sticks with them to help them do what is good for his world and stays always the dreamer that someday his friends might be able to join him in his dreams. |

| As I noted in my comments about Fearless Flamingo, Game Bird here was originally the one who was a flamingo when I first created him back in 1995. However, since I like for my characters to have more than one meaning to their names, it didn't make much sense for a flamingo to be called a game bird, since birds that are hunted for game are chickens, ducks, quails, etc. and not flamingos. I could have just made him another rooster or duck, but I felt like those kinds of birds are too common in cartoons, so I decided to go with a black swan since it was different and it also allowed me to keep him with a similar design to his original look as a flamingo that ended up going to Fearless. He keeps the long skinny legs and neck while now being in line with what a game bird is, however, in my usual way of using word play, he is of course not hunted for game, but is rather an individual who hunts for games to play himself and is the undisputed master at it. |

Fearless Flamingo is the co-leader of the Animals who works along with Kool Wolf in piloting the gang to doing good for their world, and it's very appropriate that he is indeed a pilot! 
(Also, a bit of behind the scenes info about this character. The majority of this group of characters are actually quite old, having been created in 1995, but this guy and Hot Dawg, are new creations that I just made up now. I did this because, I needed to add two extra characters to make their numbers even with the Creatures, their rivals. Another thing with this guy is that the reason that he is a flamingo is that, Game Bird, another member of this team, was originally such a bird, but I did not feel that him being such an animal really matched to his name, so I decided to make him a different kind of water fowl that more appropriately fit, and he became a black swan, while this new character became the flamingo.) |

| My latest grouping of characters, and my first for 2017, The Animals, begins appropriately with their leader, the marvelous Kool Wolf. While each of the rest of the rest of the gang each have their own unique individual jobs and talents that flesh them out as individual personalities in the bunch, Kool Wolf is a bit more undefined. He's just kind of their leader and that's it. Wolves are mysterious creatures anyway, so that's why I pretty much left him like that. |

| Angry Alligator and Cranky Croc are look alike cousins of the Creatures gang who act as the organizations tough-guy enforcers. For their names I just thought about how alligators and crocodiles just have surly temperaments and came up with some alliterative names along those lines. |

| This poor unfortunately named guy comes from the rather insulting term that has often been hurled at many a dog just trying to get some attention or perhaps protect their home only to get shooed away or worse along with the insult. However, upon creating this character, I just ran with it, and he really is a complete imbecile. This poor pooch is very lovable in spite of his sheer stupidity though and only lives to serve. |

| Creepy Cougar

| The only thing that I can say about how I came up with this guy is how cats both big and small silently creep up on their prey before they pounce which is very much a part of his bio above. I just decided to take the meaning of creepy much further and made him an absolute weirdo who no one except his partner likes to have near them, but they keep him and his buddy around due to pity since although they are a criminal gang, they aren't totally heartless. |

| O.K., this one is quite obvious, the best buddy of Battle Boar here is of course named after the term "military might." When I was formulating the members of this cartoony animal gang, it was just too good to pass this up when the idea came to me to make a partner for Battle Boar. |

| Another character whose name I have no idea where I came up with the idea for his name, but it might have something to do with a variation on the term "war pig." Whatever, the case may be, here is Battle Boar, militaristic gang member of the Creatures. |

| Funky Flea is the member of the Creatures gang who is too cool for you, or at least so he thinks. Not really sure where I came up with the idea for his name since it's not really derived from anything. I guess I just heard something similar somewhere and a new character was born. |

| The final member of the amazing Anizonz is probably their most powerful, but she lacks the confidence to fully live up to her potential, and she lost a portion of that potentially devastating power to mysterious circumstances forcing her to seek out other mysterious means to gain it back which led her to becoming a part of this team. Only the future will tell if she can ever figure out how she got to be where she is today and if she can truly use her powers as a beautiful gift or an ugly curse. |

| Terrier

The second-in-command of the Anizonz behind Dust Bunny. She is one of a race or dog-like mutants from the planet Stoneton in the CSCU, it is the same world that one of the characters of the Super-Mutant Nine, Kole Rock Head, is also from. Coincidentally, Rock Head is also the second-in-command of his team, and her bio here explains that he was something of a mentor to her, so she has somewhat followed in his footsteps to co-lead her own team. One thing that I did not explain in the bio though is why she is called "Terrier." Well, it's just simply that's the kind of dog that she is based on, no more no less, and her full real name of Kerry Airedale Bedlington is made up of the names of various breeds of terriers.  |

| Makeover is a traitor to the Xel Empire, or at least that's how the Empire sees her. She's really just the only one of her kind that sees through the evil of the Empire and seeks to use her knowledge and training as one of their former operatives against them for the greater good of the universe as a rebel who works with their enemies to put a stop to the spread of their conquest so that no more planets or people must suffer under their rule. |

| I was going through my archives of characters that I need to make bios for and I found that I had forgotten to include this guy when I did the rest of the characters of the Xel Empire! Well, I guess it's better later than never, and his skeletal death-bot vibe certainly fits in with the spooky month of October, so you could say that the timing has worked out in my favor after all. |

| This is a meme that is going around DA and possibly elsewhere where you put a picture of yourself in the middle of this grid and surround yourself with pieces of your art of your choosing either random selections of past work or something completely new. I choose to make something new & I wanted to get this done in celebration of hitting 9,000 page views on that site, being that my main group of original characters seen here are "The Super-Mutant Nine." However, I got busy with other things and now I am over 10,000 page views, lol. Well, This is me surrounded by my team of super-mutant heroes. Each one has an elemental power represented by the background behind their image. Clockwise from top to bottom are: River Crosser (the leader with water powers); Rockhead (second-in-command with rock powers); Sunfire (the inventor with fire powers); Plant Ant (the medic with plant powers); High Voltage (the combat specialist with electric powers); Wind Eagle (the air commander with wind powers); White Bat (the weapons specialist with ice powers) and Black Mask & Rainbow Trout (the ninja/spy and security/sea ops officer with darkness and light powers respectively). |
