Wings or a Tail?

[TheDoctor455]

I want to curl up like an armadillo... if only so I can say "Morph Ball Acquired!" over and over.

Also the added armor bits would be kind of cool to have.

It'd be a ***** for a human back though.

As for me...

pheromones.

 

[ThrobbingEgo]

I do not want ANY animal adaption, humanity is perfect in it's evolution in my opinion.

Lulz.

Natural selection doesn't work in terms of some ladder reaching "perfection." It works in terms of "this specimen is better at surviving and breeding in this particular environment, compared to its close relatives, because of mutations XY and Z." There's no perfection, only vehicles for spreading genes.

If you had wings, you would not be able to fly. You would need an aerodynamic shape, hollow bones, lack arms, and possibly grow feathers all over your body to maintain the flight. You'd be a bird. A big bird. You'd need really big wings too then. Like really really big. Unless you decide to shrink.

I WOULD WANT GOD DAMNED LASER VISION LIKE THE MALTRONIAN BISON OF THE TRUBULON GALAXY.

 

[esperandote]

the ability to jump relatively to my size as a flea (about 100 times its height, damn i would settle with 1x) and the ability to land without harm

 

[hannan4mitch]

I'd have claws (to be exact, those used my members of the Felis family, meaning I can retract them), gills, dual eyelids (alligators use them, one layer is transparent, the other is a normal eyelid) and spines like a horned toad.

 

[SimuLord]

I'd want a baculum (looking it up) for an "always on" connection.

 

[Lim3]

Speed of a cheetah. They can run at 70mph - thats over 110 kmph. In other words i wouldn't need a car. Of course i would need some pretty sturdy shoes. And would need to get really fit.

 

[Xojins]

I'd have to go with a tail (for balance), or be able to lift objects 10-50x heaveier than me (like an ant).

 

[ryanxm]

the arms of a mountin ape!


really i know someone who when in the marines they're erm i think it was a sargent and he was talking about his medals and they ask about his purple heart so another drill instructore starts laughing and tells the story of how when they were in vietnam he got the crap beat out of him by a mountin ape so bad that he had to get sent home


and so from that day forth i have dedicated my life to finding a way to get ape arms

 

[Kingsman]

Either the ability to divide and multiply like a single-celled organism, or really, REALLY powerful flea legs so I can jump like the Hulk.

Wings would be nice, if they weren't prehensile, but I like the idea of being able to divide into an army of clones and conquer an African nation somewhere or else being able to kick someone into the next state.

 

[Darzen]

skin of a shark or wings of an Hawk

 

[Bellvedere]

Genitalia of a whale, or to be serious the survivability of the anthrax spore, ANTARCTICA HERE I COME!

Barnacles actually have the largest penis to body size ratio of all animals. I'm assuming since wings is an option that we're going with a ratio thing right? Haha pigeon wings.

Even wings big enough to lift a person would be useless. Seems like it would be even more effort than walking. And ridiculously large.

Between the two I would go for a tail. I could find uses for an extra appendage.

 

[maninahat]

I'd like wings, as long as I could conceal the easily enough when necessary. It'd be really fun to fly, and it would save me a lot of time travelling.

Not to mention money that would be spent on gas, car upkeep, car insurance, and car payment.

Though you'd probably have to devote all that cash to eating all the time, just so you could power them.

I'm having difficulty coming up with something that would be useful on a day to day basis. Problem is that everything is designed to specifically fit the human physiology and act as an extention of what we've already got.

 

[Tsunimo]

I'd like to have wings, just because I've always liked the idea of flight and the freedom that comes with it.

that would be... amazing

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

Well wings would be awesome, unless this applies.

By the way:
If you had wings you would lose your arms.

Which I think it would because I don't know of any animal that has arms and wings.
So I guess I would like a stinger. Like a big scorpion stinger thing that comes out of my back. NOBODY gonna fuck with a dude that's got a stinger.

EDIT: I guess insects have wings, so if the dynamics would be suited for flight that would be better if a bit less badass

 

[Kuchinawa212]

TWO tails. That way I could hover like everyone's favorite sidekick!

 

[GnomeThief]

A giant pair of leathery bat wings and the ability to hang upside down by my toes.

 

[Icehearted]

At first I thought gills, but then I remembered that I don't like fish sticks.

Would it be cheating if I said I'd want to be pretty much spider-man? I'll take slick web slinging and wall crawling over flight any day.

Edit:

Being able to use sonar, like a bat.

Ages ago I saw a video of a blind man that actually navigated similarly, I think by either snapping or making a noise with his mouth.
