With the gazelligator, I have exhausted the Wired article with all its fun mashups. This is another creature that will surprise characters, especially since it will start combat off the battle mat (assuming you use one). The next mashup monster will come from a new source and will arrive in 60 minutes!
At first appearing to be a typical, fast-running herd animal, the creature turns its head, revealing a long, toothy snout.

Most likely created by misguided (or demented) druids, gazelligators fuse the ferocity of an alligator with the burst of speed common to gazelles. The resulting creatures terrorize prey on the open plains where gazelligators can travel hundreds of feet in seconds to fell unprepared victims. Gazelligators rarely back down from a fight, even when their opponents clearly overmatch them.
