COUNCIL ARGUES CHIMERAS
Today a council of magicians meets to argue the ethics of chimera production.
The subject has been a heated debate for some time in the magical community. Chimeras are magically created creature combinations. They offer the possibility to create amazingly strong creatures with abilities far exciting those of normal animals, but many in the magical community feel it isn't right to change the makeup of any creature. Particularly heated is the debate over chimeras using human subjects. Although these can become the most intelligent and efficient monsters the process undoubtedly robs the subject of their very humanity.
Those who feel this unethical, however, are met with a lot of resistance. Chimera research is becoming very widespread. It is rumored that even Rezo, one of the wise men of the age, has created chimeras.
FISH MEN REPORT DESCRIMINATION
In recent months more fish-men are reporting unfair treatment by humans. A higher percentage of the aquatic creatures have been coming to land of late to try to make their way in the human world.
"It was almost impossible to get a job." Reports Noonsa, a young fish person who had to resort to getting a position as a henchman. "None of the human girls like me either." Noonsa adds. He was once the most handsome man in his tribe.
Experts believe that the discrimination could be caused by a number of factors. Some fish people have inadequate human language skills, like Rahanamu, a young fish man who we attempted to interview but could only make glub noises.
They blame Noonsa's girl problems on the differences between fish-person and human mating practices, such as Noonsa's tendency to kiss by putting his mouth around the human he is kissing's entire head. Unfortunately for Noonsa and Rahanamu, their only course seems to be to attempt as best they can to adapt to human culture.
