The second kangaroo mashup makes its appearance, this time in the form of the benign dolphiroo (which sounds like a cookie the Sea Scouts would try to sell). This ties the kangaroo with the shark and the spider for most mashups thus far today, which might mean that an "arachniroo" will certainly show up later. (Not so) sadly, I couldn't find an image for such a creature. Find out what the next monster is in 60 minutes!
This creature, comprised of dolphin head and torso (including the front flippers) and a kangaroo from the pouch down to the hindquarters and tail, gives a toothy grin.

Rarely, monster creators plan something other for their creations beyond acting as killing machines or to satisfy morbid curiosity. In the case of the dolphiroos, their makers designed them to help others on land and in the sea. The creatures are friendly and especially shine in cases where they must rescue someone from drowning, using their powerful legs to propel them toward the rescuee. Dolphiroos defend themselves when attacked and use their kicks and hydraulic push to drive away attackers.
