6 | Strig Feleedus is a young genetic engineer working for one Dr. A Muroid. Muroid has Strig working on a project that involves combining the DNA of multiple creatures into one singular entity. But what Strig doesn't know is that Dr. Muroid is actually a Were-Rat, who plans to create an army of [[RatMen Rat People]] to help TakeOverTheWorld. |

8 | One night, while on his way out, Strig is followed by his cat, Ding, who runs out of the house after a mouse, while an owl tried dive-bombing it. Strig tries to stop Ding, and it all comes to a head when they're all hit by a car (being driven by Dr. Muroid), spilling the experimental formula Strig was carrying all over himself, Ding, and the owl. The [=DNA=] of all three animals combine together, giving Strig the ability to transform into a Human-Owl-Cat Hybrid with the ability to [[{{Flight}} fly]], the ability to [[SpeaksFluentAnimal speak to animals]], and a new appetite for rats and birds. |
