Ok part 2 for my last post
What creatures i think the mercs would be l, mythical creature/not anthropomorphic animal version though (and with less thought put into it) -
Scout : jackalope hybrid thing, or weirdly maybe a merperson?? Idk i think either black marlin based mer or leopard shark based mer weirdly fit for him and i cant explain why
sniper : owl harpy or werewolf, basic ik but i actually have no other ideas
spy : ok for matching with scout it could totally be like octopus thing (plus the entire. Thing.) Or angler fish which i think would be cool. Not matching i think would be vamp (classic ik, i think its fitting for him), invisible man (lmao) or shapeshifter ig
engineer : idk hyland cowtaur is good maybe, zombie too and accidental sorcerer would be fun (like he just starts shooting magic one day woopsies, and maybe pointy ears)
Pyro : my gut says demon or dragon but i feel like there could be a better one. Centaur would be fun but seems less accurate to them
heavy : this ones hard. Most people say werebear or yeti and call it a day, which i get 100% dont get me wrong, but i feel like there could be something more interesting?? Maybe orc or minotaur? Hed be a cool minotaur
Medic : harpy is my first instinct, but i think it would be cool if he was a living skeleton or something too! Maybe he could be basically scp049 but without the touch and die mechanic (like plague doctor look but cant take it off)
demo : sea monster is the funniest for him me thinks. Either that or satyr (ngl thats almost as high of a good idea as sea monster, seeing as satyrs are notoriously drunk all the time)
soldier : it would be really funny if he was a Clydesdale centaur, but i have too many centaurs already so. Raccoon thing maybe, or zombie? Unsure
Ignore how horrific all of these would be with the "gets turned into" plotline
