What has science done?
A runaway genetic experiment from a secret government lab, bubbling throbbing and namelessly clawing its way towards a major city full of innocent lives. Can it be Stopped?

Originally an experiment in adaptive biological weapons and combining multiple traits into a single organism, the Creature's abilities were fully demonstrated when it escaped from its enclosure killing the scientists and soldiers assigned as its keepers.

It can spontaneously alter cellular structure into a variety of organic formations to suit the situation. Growing claws and armored scales to combat a threat, adding musculature to smash through walls, or swelling its brain matter to solve complex problems.
However, portions of the experiment's body that remain as one type of tissue for an extended period of time lose their transformative ability. To prevent this solidification the life-form will constantly shift sections of its body from one form to another, sprouting a mosaic of faces, limbs, and other biological attachments as it sees fit.

The creature reproduces via a form of mitosis, portions of the body will form into distinct creatures, break off and skitter away to feed and grow apart from their parent.

This creature and its offspring represent a global biological threat.
Engage and destroy at all costs.

P.S. Done for the Splice contest, and I wanted to make something different! So If you like this picture or description please favorite or comment! It will bump me higher in the ratings if you do! :D
