Category:Kangaroos

EG kangaroos are based on Jilaic, a sentient species native to Cyantia. Among the alterations EG gave them are the ability to move their legs independantly, and the females' mammaries are moved to the chest (they were genetically engineered to be eyecatchers for a joke among the scientists who are a buncha jerks). Like most of Genoworks' products, their fur patterns have been altered to be more exotic and unusual, such as having stripes, long fur, or wings. The roos were originally designed as art, but the militia took special interest in them and a number were transfered (the military claimed half, and possesed at least 17 of them)[1]. The roos shown in Sink or Swim are escaped militia projects.

It is not known how exactly many roos there are, but it is known that the military took half.[2] EG kept all 7 long furs (since they were the most valuable), gave 2 stripes while keeping 1,[3] and kept 2 of the winged ones who were thriving better while giving the rest to the military. [4]

It's suggested earlier batches may not have walked as well. [5]

They remained with the military for over a cycle. [6] The military was disappointed with them, considering them weak, slow, fragile, and not aggressive enough, willing to run the first chance they get. [7] Of all Genoworks products, they were ranked at the bottom of the combat lists, and were almost useless against Horses. [8] Although they excelled in many fields, none of them possessed all the traits they were supposed to genetically possess.[9] Due to not being 'perfect', the military decided to perform operations to bionetically improve them[10] - most did not survive the enhancements.

Due to a lack of planning ahead, EG roos would find childbirth exceedingly painful due to their modifications. C-section would probably be the only way they could have kids.
