Authentic Gachimuchi Information[edit | edit source]
- Strangely, despite being an aquatic creature, the half-fish man is bipedal, and thus does not have a very hydrodynamic shape that is adapted to swimming in water. He might be more fitting for a wetland habitat, somewhat like a reptilian frog.
- Swamp Scumoid and Kraa's appearance are available for viewing on Total Fabrication's Creature gallery.[1]
