What is a Mutato?

In a rapidly changing world of rapidly accumulating toxic waste, Mutatoes take to the sky.
These creatures, affectionately dubbed Mutatoes, are a sad combination of an unknown creature, radioactive material, and a potato.
They live in the sky and consume UV radiation. They are the new era of Super Man.

At birth Mutatoes are about the size of a potato and can grow to around the size of a basketball.
Generally they are busy creatures who would prefer flying to being carried.
The Mutato is filled with the same kind of gases that its tail is made of.
These gases are currently unidentified, but are lighter than air- enabling them to fly.
They can stay in the air for a maximum of 20 hours straight before they need to land and "rest".
Though, when they can't be in the air, Mutatoes pace... a lot.

Ends Sept. 7th

My first design as a guest artist uvx This Mutato is based off of one of my favorite summer memories-- picking wild raspberries with my mom. For this contest, I'd like you to tell me about this Mutato's favorite summer memory, seeing as summer is almost over. ;w; It doesn't have to be about wild raspberries if you like. :>

++Reason for choosing the name

One; I love Cranberries <3
and this pets base reminds me of a cranberries color

Second; the little fuzzy baby
looks as though it is scurring around looking for a place to "bury"
something. Maybe food or a place to bury their scrumpitious berries ^v^

+Favorite summer memory of Mutato:

I stretched in the grass, squinting up at the morning sun; how long
have I been sleeping? I yawned and looked left and right across
the field; bushes and trees acting as barriers to the unknown.

In the distance, I heard a rustle in the leaves and playful giggles escaping into the
morning sky; dew drops falling as the leaves jiggled about.

Slowly, I began to crawl forewards towards the nearest patch of berry bushes. Mama
showed me those bushes awhile back and told me the tale of Mutatos. I stopped a moment
recalling her description of the tiny creatures.

She reckoned if you were lucky enough to feel ones fur it would be the softest thing you ever
did touch. I had laughed at her and picked up a piece of cotton; nothing could be as soft as
this I had told her, picking the seeds from within the white fuzz ball.

Taking a deep breath, I peered through the leaves my heart hammering against my ribs. Maybe I would
meet a Mutato and feel the soft fur my mother had told me about. I let out a sigh of relief, and disappointment
nothing was behind the leaves. My head must be achey from laying on the ground all night, I went to pull my head out
when it happened.

I stared straight into golden eyes; flecks of bronze hidden within their depth that looked upon me curiously. My mouth
hung open and I was awestruck by the pelt the color of cranberries growing in this very bush. Her tiny nose twitched as
a smile grew from ear to ear on her face; like a lightbulb had gone off in her head by my open mouth. She scurried off into the distance and I called after her in a whisper, " No.. wait don't go, I won't hurt you. "

Shyly; she came running back, her little arms behind her back. " I brought you something, you must be hungry after a long nights rest," she said softly, in her tiny sweet voice.

She set a fruit into my mouth, peering cross eyed, I tried looking on my own tongue. This made her giggle and she tapped my nose gently.

" Chew young one, or the fruit flies will get your tasty snack, " she told me, supressing a giggle. I chewed the berry and my eyes lit up with joy.

" What is this, " I asked, licking my lips, " it tastes amazing."

"It is a Cranberry my dear, " she smiled and patted my head, " I'm sure your Mama knows about them. " She paused and began to dig, pulling up another berry. " She used to come help me find the ones I would lose, " she giggled, " and we shared the treasures."

She gazed up at me, " Maybe you could help me, " she asked, her face liting up again; a spark in her eyes.

Every night that summer I slept outside, beside that cranberry patch and every morning Cranbury and I would search
for her delicate fruits. Sometimes I feel as though she is sleeping beside me on chilly nights, humming lullabys all night through her soft pelt rubbing against my skin.

Mama was right; I have never felt anything softer.

I would name this lovely Mutato Valentine, after Valentine Wiggin, Ender's sister.

As many know, I am **obsessed** with the book, Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card.

Ender has a lovely sister, Valentine, who accompanies him almost wherever he goes. Even when he left her at Troldheim when he went to Lusitania, Valentine followed him 22 years later.
This Mutato seems like a loyal companion for my Mutato, Ellierose. I want to name this one Valentine to symbolize the connection between Ender/Val and Ellierose/this Mutato.

Valentine is a sweet, sweet girl mutato, just like the raspberries she is based off of. Wait, are raspberries sweet or sour? She is also usually calm and laid back, and a bit shy at times.

She loves reading. All sorts--Greek mythology, American history, Homestuck, Orson Scott Card books, Harry Potter, you name it. She has read almost every book at the local library, and she is planning on reading more. One summer, she had to read 32 chapters of The Glorious Cause by Jeff Shaara, and when she was on vacation in Czech, she accidentally read the whole 60 some chapters. While all her classmates hated the book, she loved it and the cute lovey scenes in it. *fangirls*

Ender's Game was another favorite of her's. She liked the fact that she was named after Valentine Wiggin.





Valentine was over at Ellierose's house, because...why not? It's summer, so she might as well have some fun, right? The ominous weather suggested otherwise. It had rained and rained the past few days, and EVERYTHING was flooded. The Bridge, baseball field, and many roads. Some of the shops near the roads were closed due to the flood.

"Ugh," Ellierose said, "It's so floody out, were can we go? I can't get my nice boots muddy!"
Valentine sighed. Ellierose was uppity like always, being from a semi-royal family in France.

"Let's go get some frozen yogurt, how bout that?" Val suggested. Ellierose agreed, but warned Val that they could only walk there, since the road was flooded and closed, no car or bike would be able to go through.

They went to get their shoes from the garage. Valentine was wearing horseback riding boots that were not afraid of getting dirty, while Ellie's nice boots had fuzz on the outside.

When they got to the neighborhood gate, Valentine squealed, and showed Ellie her phone, saying, "Look!!! Look at that adoptable! It has Floppy ears! I'm going to try out. I'll name her.... Starfish," she started typing, "Based off driftwood." Ellie was excited too. This adoptable may just be the floppy eared on Val had always been looking for.

(Yes, there's CS adoptables in the Mutato world too)

Ellie got out her phone and started drawing something for an art order. She created a character for her customer.

Ellierose and Valentine stopped at the baseball field. It was all water. They carefully made their way around it, grateful that the road was closed, so there were no incoming cars. After walking a bit further, they were on the main street that the Frozen Yogurt shop was on. The only setback was that half the parking lot and most of the street was under water. Valentine tried to step with her boots, but quickly came back, knowing that Ellie's nice boots would never survive water that deep. They sighed. Suddenly, Ellierose had a brilliant (yet stupid) plan.

"See those shops across the street from the Frozen Yogurt shop?" she asked, pointing, "We can go around there, and come back the other way, cross the road, and end up on the dry half on the parking lot!"

Valentine figured this might be the only way, so she nodded.
They made their way to the little shops across the street. The grass and dirt was mushy under their steps. Ellierose's boot sinked in a few centimeters, resulting in a scream of "OH MY GOD MY BOOT!"

They found out that there were two unseen streams behind the shops. "Now how do we get through?" Ellie sighed.

Valentine cheered, "We Jump!" She leaped gracefully from side to side, while Ellie struggled to get to one side. Ellie asked for help, so Valentine hopped back, grabbed her pal, and made it over the first stream.

The second stream flowed a lot quicker, and each side was steeper. Valentine caught sight of a wooden board, so she grabbed it with her foot. They made a sort-of bridge and wobbled through, though Ellie got part of her boot wet.

Once the /finally/ got into the Frozen Yogurt shop, Ellierose went into the restroom, and washed her feet and boots.

Ellierose had raspberry flavored frozen yogurt ice cream, while Valentine had raspberry-leaf flavored. (this is where the Mutato design comes in)

They finished their frozen yogurt, and prepared for the long, hard journey back.

On the way back, Ellierose accidentally FELL into the stream, and killed her nice boots.
She wept the whole time, until she remembered, that today had been Fun. It's okay that the shoes were dirty, she was rich enough to get new ones. Plus, it's summer, no one wears boots! She laughed it off after that, and took off her boots. They walked barefoot together all the way home.


Andddddd the worst ending ever....

THE END.

"Vinca (/ˈvɪŋkə/: Latin: vincire "to bind, fetter") is a genus of six species in the family Apocynaceae, native to Europe, northwest Africa and southwest Asia. The English name periwinkle is shared with the related genus Catharanthus (and also with the common seashore mollusc, Littorina littorea). In India the plant is known as sadaphuli meaning "always flowering"."
-Wikipedia

The pink-and-green combination of the Mutato reminded me of this beautiful flower, the Vinca. The tail is like the stem, and the body is a beautiful bloom of pink warmness.

ᴀ sᴜᴍᴍᴇʀ ᴍᴜᴛᴀᴛᴏ sᴛᴏʀʏ
"Come on, Vinca! We're leaving now!"

Vinca looked at the giant statue looming in the distance. "All right!" she hollered, jumping into the air and taking flight. "So... where are we going?" Vinca asked her friends, Wheatley and DeWitt. "Well..." Wheatley muttered, looking at DeWitt. "We're going to Columbia!" DeWitt shouted, happily, as he did a mid-air flip. "Columbia?" Vinca asked, as the two friends started heading straight up. "Wait for me!" Vinca shouted, as she caught up to them.

As the small Mutato group flew up, they weaved through the clouds. "We're here!" DeWitt shouted, landing on one of the roofs. People walked around happily, enjoying the 1902 Columbia Fair. "Wow!" Vinca shouted, darting down, soon running into two people. "Sorry..." Vinca muttered, looking up. "Who are you?" she asked, curiously.

The tall, black-haired woman reached down and picked up Vinca. "Poor thing." the woman cooed, as the man walked over to Wheatley and DeWitt. "Hmm, seems that there are more than that one." the man said, looking at the woman he was with. "Elizabeth... do you know what these are? Did you retrieve them through a tear?" the man said. "N-no, Booker, this one, and I guess her friends, just came from the sky..." Elizabeth said.

"Elizabeth?" Vinca asked, ears perking up. "Hello then, Elizabeth! I'm Vinca!" Vinca said, flying around Elizabeth's head. Elizabeth giggled a little, then pointed to Wheatley and DeWitt and asked, "Who are they?" she asked. Vinca flew over, and hovered over the fiery-colored one. "This is DeWitt..." she said, then hovering over the grey-ish-body-and-blue-and-orange-spots one. "...and this is Wheatley!" Vinca shouted, happily. Both DeWitt and Wheatley smiled.

"DeWitt? That's my last name..." Booker said, picking up DeWitt. "Really? Nice!" DeWitt said, smiling. Elizabeth looked at Booker, then to Vinca and the other 'tatos, then back to Booker. "Can we let them tag along?" Elizabeth asked. "Well, as long as they can fight well, and tolerate Vigors. Can you?" Booker asked the three. "I don't know, but we have to!" Vinca said. Both Wheatley and DeWitt nodded.

"By the way, what are you?" Elizabeth asked. Vinca perked her ears, grabbed a piece of paper, and wrote down something. She handed it to Elizabeth, and Elizabeth read aloud: "What is a Mutato? In a rapidly changing world of rapidly accumulating toxic waste, Mutatoes take to the sky. These creatures, affectionately dubbed Mutatoes, are a sad combination of an unknown creature, radioactive material, and a potato. They live in the sky and consume UV radiation.

These gases are currently unidentified, but are lighter than air- enabling them to fly. They can stay in the air for a maximum of 20 hours straight before they need to land and "rest". Though, when they can't be in the air, Mutatoes pace... a lot." As she finished, Vinca started to pace back and forth. The other two' tatos joined in, and Booker smiled a little, which he doesn't do often.

The end!

Reason for Choosing the Name; It looks like, to me, the tail design is made up of clovers, and "clover" seemed like a nice name
Favourite Summer Memory of the Mutato; A little story be me, word count 189
Picking her way through the grass, she kept her head down, searching.
"Hurry UP Clov, we want to get a good spot!"
"Coming! she called, scampering after her brother.
Yet she still kept her head down, looking, so was taken by surprise when she was sent tumbling, head-over-heels. ending up flat on her stomach to see her brother dropping down in front of her, laughing.
"Come on! Keep your head up, unless you want to fall into the lake"
He winked, with a playful smile on his face, then continued in the direction of the gathering place of summertime- the Greensdam Lake.
Clover sighed, but as she was getting up saw something. Her eyes snapped back down, could it be? At closer inspection, she almost had a heart attack.
"Oliver! Oliver! Come quick!"
Oliver was by her side in a flah, fearing his little sister was hurt. He was about to ask what was wrong when he followed her ecstatic gaze to what was in her paws.
"Wow Clov! You found one!"
Clover grinned, not taking her eyes of the little clover in her paws.
A four leafed clover.

+Name of the Mutato:
Gelato
+Reason for choosing the name:
One of my favorite summer memories is eating gelati from my local Rita's almost every day. Gelati are my favorite thing to order at Rita's, and I get them almost every single time I go there. Eating any sort of flavored ice or ice cream really gets my taste buds going. I absolutely love frozen treats! And your summer memory of picking raspberries really reminded me of all those gelati I ate over the summer. ;p
+Favorite summer memory of Mutato:
Despite loving all the gelati and the Rita's memories over the summer, my favorite memory would probably be my friend's party she held over the summer. It was a going back to school party, and it was pretty much the last chance to see all my friends in the same place, all together. This is my first year of high school, and they split up all my friends into different classes, so I barely get to see them anymore. That summer party was the last time I saw all my closest friends together in a single group. During the school year we're all too busy to organize such a big party like that, with everyone present. Normally I'll just hang out with one or two friends at a time since our schedules always clash. It was so awesome to be with every one of my best friends, especially in the summer, when the weather is nice and warm and perfect for water balloon fights, water gun fights, and a Slip 'N Slide!
+Extra/Short Story:
Gelato, despite her namesake, had never actually had a gelato before. She was curious to try one. So she snagged her very best friend, Buffet, to come on over to her humble abode. Gelato and Buffet were similar in that they both loved food, but Buffet was definitely the more extreme food lover. He was gluttonous to the point of dangerous to his health, and he had always been on the chubby side for a Mutato.
"Hullo Buffet," Gelato greeted her best friend warmly, touching noses with the overweight Mutato.
"Hullo Gelato," Buffet replied in an equally friendly manner, his swishing tail flicking back and forth slowly in happiness. "Are you ready to go ahead and have your first gelato?"
"Yeah," She said, wagging her graceful tail high above her body. "I can't wait to finally try out my namesake!"
Buffet let the way, taking to the skies, bounding along with his paws. Mutatos were like humans; humans swung their arms when they walked, and Mutatos wiggled their paws like they were swimming while they flew. It just felt right.
Treading through the thick, gooey air, Gelato twitched her little nose as the warm drafts floated her upwards. She loved to fly when it was hot out; the warm drafts made it easier to fly as they carried her around gently.
"Wait for me!" Buffet called out in his chirpy voice, bounding after Gelato in the creamy white and blue sky. He was chubbier, so it was harder for him to be as graceful as Gelato in flight. But being a Mutato, and of course all Mutatos were excellent fliers, he too found it easy to remain in the air.
"Is it right down there?" Gelato gently floated downwards onto the ground, stepping up to the little ice cream store. Buffet landed next to her and continued walking forward, pacing as Mutatos do when they are on the ground. "Yes, we're here. The only ice cream store in town that sells gelati!"
Excitedly, the two companions trotted up to the serving window, and Gelato scanned the menu, wondering which flavor she should get. She needn't worry though, for Buffet had some suggestions of his own. "I like heavy stuff, with caramel and chocolate and Oreos. But I think you'd like raspberry with vanilla custard for your gelato. Go ahead,"
Gelato stepped up and ordered her very first raspberry ice with vanilla custard. The person got the gelato pretty quickly, and gave it to Gelato with a smile on her face. Smiling back, Gelato didn't bother with spoons or anything as she had no thumbs and shoved her face into the icy treat. Swallowing, Gelato decided that her namesake was quite possibly the best thing she had ever tasted in her life.

This mutato's name would be Thia.

Thia is a name made by me.
Mixed with the following words;
Thorn-i-Annie.
Thorn because what do both
raspberries and roses, my
favorite flower, have? Thorns!
I because that is my middle initial.
Annie because that is what many
people call me. I love the name
Annie, so feel free to call me that,
though I'd perfect If you spell it as
followed- Anny <3

Thia loves the sun, but she also
loves flowers. Blue ones, red ones,
orange ones... pink ones. Thia
loves flowers she thinks they are
nature's beauty. She loves being
outside and bathing in the warm Sun.
Thia is a strange child with a vivid
imagination. She loves to pretend she
is mother nature. Out of all these things
her favorite is...
Swimming!
That's right Thia loves to swim. So
she loves all these things but if
she were to be forced to pick
she would have to say
swimming (and the fruits!).

Thia has a gentle personality..
BUT SHE'S CRAZY!!
Oh- did I bring that down on
You a little to hard? Below
I'll describe more of what
I mean when I say that Thia
Is an......
American Dipper!

An American Dipper is a very
common species. They live
almost anywhere in dry Rocky
regions in North America and
Panama. They are small,
Crazy birds when purched,
But when in flight, they are
a gentler more calm bird.
This is similar to Thia.
She is crazy, but at
Times Thia is gentle and
Calm.
