Failed Experiment

Another failure... I'm running out of subjects to use already. It just won't breathe! It just trashes around desperately to end up drowning in dry land. I promised the council I could create a new type of chimera to allow those beasts of the sea to walk the land, but still it won't breathe. I know it is possible! Archmage Darwin proved that life came from the sea to the land in his theory of Natural Transmutation and with the appropriate specimens and catalysts I should be able to recreate this natural process, but still nature refuses to let this monstrous fishes to live out of water. I fear my funds will be cut and I'll have to go back to make new attractions to the circus...
