Impossible Creatures
Encyclopedia
Impossible Creatures is a real-time strategy game released on December 29, 2002 developed by Relic Entertainment
in conjunction with Microsoft Game Studios
. Its unique feature is that the armies used are all created by the player. The armies consist of 9 creatures; each one is a combination of any two animals from a list of 76 (51 with no downloads), resulting in 127,392 possible combinations with all official mods downloaded. Many animals possess inherent abilities to add more strategic depth to the game. There is an extensive single-player campaign as well as online multiplayer functionality with different game modes, add-ons, custom maps, mods, and scenarios.
Impossible Creatures was followed up later by a free downloadable expansion entitled Insect Invasion which added new creatures and abilities to the game. The last official add on for Impossible Creatures was released in 2004. Relic has stated that they have no further plans for the Impossible Creatures universe.
Yet, on August 8, 2009, a 3rd party member of Impossible Creatures' community, Dengus, revived the online service. However, Dengus has since closed down his Impossible Creatures Online (ICO) service for unknown reasons.
and kills his wife, he goes into willing exile at a chain of remote islands. There, he reports the creation of the Sigma Technology, a method which makes it possible to fuse two creatures together into a single organism. These reports are ignored by the scientific and mainstream communities.
Then, in 1937, believing that his last days are upon him, Chanikov sends a letter to his son, Rex, asking him to come visit his father. Rex, going by the name of "Rex Chance", a disgraced war reporter, travels to the archipelago. Discovering that his father died at the hands of the evil tycoon Upton Julius, he vows to avenge his father's murder. He is assisted by the late Chanikov's assistant, Dr. Lucy Willing. With her help, Rex quickly learns the power of the Sigma technology, and more about his family's past. As he spends time around the Sigma technology, latent abilities are made manifest within him. These abilities make him increasingly superhuman, allowing him to directly assist his Sigma Creatures in battle.
Lucy and Rex's progress is slowed by those loyal to Julius: Whitey Hooten, a whaler
whose Sigma-created creatures are slow and powerful, Velika la Pette, a high-strung aristocrat who relies on aerial units, and Dr. Ganglion, a mad scientist fond of using creatures most would call abominations.
Julius is, however, confronted and defeated at the end of the game. The reasoning behind Rex's latent abilities is at last revealed: he is the accidental first product of the Sigma technology, a human combined with thousands of animal traits. As the game closes, Rex is shown with his pupils missing, a trait common among Sigma-created creatures.
Rex is a playable character and responsible for collecting the animal DNA that build up his Sigma creature armies during the game. Rex is voiced by Lee Tockar

Concurrent with the development of the real-time strategy, Relic had also been developing a platformer for the Xbox
game console based in the Impossible Creatures universe. In this version, the player guided Rex Chance through various environments from a third-person perspective. The primary gameplay mechanic revolved around the players ability to temporarily morph into any animal that the player had 'captured' the DNA of, and whose natural abilities could then be used to traverse obstacles within the level.
The title was canceled due to the disappointing sales figures and lukewarm critical reception of the PC original.

Campaign
This mode consists of 15 different missions, spanning over a group of islands in the South Pacific known as the Isla Variatas, indicating the variety of environments presented to the player, ranging from jungles, deserts, or Arctic regions. The main protagonist, Rex Chance, is required to collect animal DNA throughout the campaign in order to add more animal varieties to his army of combined creatures. The plot is discussed in more detail below.Multiplayer
In Impossible Creatures, there are three game types available during multiplayer. In "Destroy Enemy Lab", the first to destroy the enemy's main laboratory is the winner. The Insect Invasion official mod added a feature that can be turned on that defends the lab, at the cost of 35 points of electricity per second. In "Destroy Enemy Base", the winner is the first to destroy all enemy buildings, including the lab. In "Hunt Rex", each player is given a special unit, Rex Chance. Players must hunt down and kill other participants' Rex Chance units. The multiplayer aspect of the game has been eradicated as Microsoft has stopped hosting the servers.Yet, on August 8, 2009, a 3rd party member of Impossible Creatures' community, Dengus, revived the online service.

Rex Chance
Rex Chance is the main protagonist of the game, a renowned war reporter/journalist revered for his coverage of international conflicts. During the Spanish Civil War, Rex breaks the golden rule of not "interfering" and is promptly fired when he returns to the United States. He searches his long time lost father, Dr. Eric Chanikov, following clues through newspaper clippings and a letter that Chanikov left for him. Chance discovers that his father was the leading scientist in the Sigma project—a technology that combines creatures' DNA to create hybrid animals. Upton Julius, the main villain, pursues him relentlessly across Isla Variatas in an attempt to capture Rex for unknown purposes. During the campaign, Rex witnesses the wonder and horror of Sigma, convincing him that it is too powerful in the hands of mortal men. After a brief spat with Lucy, he convinces her to help him erase all trace of the technology in order to avoid its abuse. It is later revealed that Rex Chance was the first product in an attempt to create a human-animal hybrid with the Sigma technology after the Tungaska blast which gave Rex his powers, giving reason as to why Julius demanded that Chance be brought to him alive.Rex is a playable character and responsible for collecting the animal DNA that build up his Sigma creature armies during the game.

At one point during the game, Lucy is kidnapped by a gorilla/sperm whale hybrid possessing the size of the whale, but not any of its actual parts. Rex eventually rescues her and the two share a brief hug. Lucy was voiced by Kathleen BarrKathleen Barr

Upton Julius
A multi-millionaire benefactor, Julius worked closely with Dr. Chanikov, but soon decided to steal the secrets of the Sigma technology, create an army of genetically-created beasts, and develop plans to conquer the world. He is the main villain in the game, hunting Rex Chance across the game's many islets to capture him in the hope of creating more human-animal hybrids with Sigma.

Dr. Otis Ganglion
Dr. Ganglion is a deranged veterinarian and the right hand of Upton Julius. Before being taken under Julius' wing, Ganglion created numerous strange animal hoaxes and sold them to freak show across the United States. He performs sick experiments on both humans and animals as part of his "practice" with the Sigma technology. He was hired to perform the cruel and inhumane experiments that Dr. Chanikov refused to do. During the final level of the game, his body is violently thrown against a wall by a spinning fan, killing him. His name is a reference to ganglionGanglion

Dr. Eric Chanikov
A "kind and brilliant" man according to Lucy Willing, Eric Chanikov was the main founder of the Sigma technology and father to Rex Chance, the main protagonist. Before the events of the game, Chanikov worked closely alongside Dr. Lucy Willing and Upton Julius on the Sigma project. Unfortunately, Julius murdered him before Rex and Lucy could find, let alone save, Chanikov. The reason that his surname is different from Rex's is because when Rex was sent to America, his name was translated into English. Eric is voiced by Lee TockarLee Tockar
