A Zombie Mermaid would likely decay even faster in Water, so they might not be viable at all even if they survive the Zombie Coma. A Vampire Mermaid would need to go to land in order to avoid drowning while having the Vampiric Coma, but should they survive, they would be quite strong and adaptable, since sunlight exposure won't be that difficult to deal with, as long as they only go to the surface to breathe. A Werewolf Mermaid... Imagine a Leopard Seal, but far stronger and far more aggressive...

The artist is in part using ai generation, as I understand; aside from this being evidenced in what they've shown of their workflow much of the anatomy does not make sense, which would be forgivable (ie they could just be inexperienced with anatomy) were it not for the fact that it is also not consistent afaik (what you would expect from someone who is doing everything themselves and is just inexperienced).

What do you think would happen if a Wendigo was infected with any of these viruses? Or if a vampire, zombie, or werewolf was somehow infected with an activated Wendigo virus? Would the latter even be possible given how specific the Wendigo virus' activation requirements are?

[@p-__]

My farts are better than the zombie vampire’s farts 💨

[@WhiteRose2002]

I imagine that whoever the doctor works for doesn’t want to waste time and money on that study. Due to the specifics that the Wendigo virus needs to trigger the transformation and its relatively low infection rate.

[@ThoughtPotato]

I think that's a fascinating concept. I'm not sure the good doctor has the vitality to pursue another investigation like this, but perhaps someone else may assume his mantle...

[@IanPendleton-gh6ox]

@@ThoughtPotato Someone who either has a lot of resources at his disposal or knows people with resources who are willing to share them. Given all the specific conditions the Wendigo virus needs to trigger its victim's transformation, that sort of study is probably going to either need a large sample size or take a long time, or both.

[@notsae66]

​@@ThoughtPotato This is exactly what I was hoping for! Get the more obscure ones mixed together, see some fun body horror! If the good doctor's not up to it, I'm sure there's someone a little more open minded could take up the cause! Think of the benefits! Not only to treatment and management of the diseases, but to genetic engineering; if one could isolate the genes responsible for the more positive aspects, they could create a better mankind. I could easily see an idealist, perhapsnon a government fund, maybe trying to engineer something useful out of these horrors and winding up with a whole lot more horrors for their trouble.

Hi Thought Potato! Some of the hybrids that emerged during these tests are quite similar to variations of the creatures seen in different franchises. For example, I remember that in the last video (on HVZ-HVV) someone proposed to name one particular strain "Nosferatu's". Not bad at all to be honest! This time, in my opinion, the subjects presented are even closer to pop-culture's products. I am talking about the Lycan-vampire hybrid of the movie series "Underworld", of 2005 (maybe a specimen of the "Alphas" could have been nicknamed Michael, due to this similarity), and the unusual furless werewolves of the movie "The Cursed", of 2021. But were the "Beta subjects" that stroked me the most, with their "primate-like" appearance. They resemble various creatures, assimilable to the archetype of the "wildman", spread throughout Eurasia. Do you think that in your project on World Anvil, it would be possible to theorize a truthful origin for those stories with an actual (accidental) case of natural, combined infection (with suggestions on which kind of folklore creatures may have come to be by the sightings of these heterogeneous bunch hybrids)? My best regards to You!
