Are you sure it was a MacLeod as we don't "nearly" fight...

PS

Sorry to keep hijacking the threads with our cross boarder banter folks.

Yes, i know him well as he used to be my boss and he has "Mcleod" tattooed on his arm.

Flapjacks seem to me to be less than spectacular muties I guess I never really understood how they attacked their prey. what was its predark ancestor?

The Drinker is another one that I don't get how did something like that evolve and what was its predark ancestor?

(looks over at AP and shrugs)

(looks over at Diablo, rolls eyes, and discreetly adjusts woolly sporran for comfort)

Did I say something wrong guys? I just was hoping for some info on those two muties .


In I think it was Savage Armada Mildred threatens to cut off I think it was Ryan's hand after he touches a dead poison dart frog, I thought those were only found in south America not in the south Pacific ?

I actually loved Savage Armada.

 

One of the last few that Polatta did well.

 

After that, he seem to've fallen off the writers menu.

I've also got to add that the "Flap-Jacks" were absolutely a horrible idea. I can't remember what book they were introduced but I remember laughing every time the author made Ryan say the name.

On the flip-side I actually liked the idea of the "demons" in Labyrinth I believe it was. A Flea/Scorpian/Bullfrog/Human that moved at terrifying speed with stingers and leg blades that vomited acid on peoples faces kinda creeped me out...

Flapjacks first appeared in the Baronies trilogy. Pollotta has used variants of those in several books since - feeders (creatures that look like cactus but have blood-draining tentacles), and something in Savage Armada that took down a whale with (you guessed it) blood-draining tentacles.

I remember 'Drinkers" in I think it was Perdition Valley. Same Idea. They really should halt it with the 'new' muties and decide on just the norm. I remember strictly stickies,scalies and cannies. At least until the author's get a pow-wow and decide upon the norm...
