I would get bit by a cat because i know that’s going to happen anyway. I would choose the power to import thoughts into other people.
A predatory bird, which would give me extra cones and rods to see more colors / spectrum as well as possibly telescopic vision.
A shark, so I can swim better and breathe underwater. Then maybe I won’t be so afraid of large bodies of water.
If you want cool eyes, go with the Mantis Shrimp tbh, they’ve got like 7 or 8 different cone cells for everything from ultraviolet to infrared. IIRC scientists don’t think their brains are powerful enough to fully use all that info at once, but I feel like connecting that to a brain that’s like 1000x as powerful would fix that.
I’d hope you’d just get the extra cone cells and not compund eyes tho, compound eyes would be Difficult for a human to adopt to, since our visual cortices evolved to process two high resolution visual streams and not like, 100 shitty visual streams.
I think you could just plug an eye with extra cone types directly into a human brain tho, there are people born with tetrachromia (4th cone cell that extends a bit into the ultraviolet iirc), and they can utilize information from the extra cone cells perfectly fine.
Afaik, the human eye lens absorbs most UV light, so people with tetrachromia can’t actually see much UV, but it does give them way more precise color vision overall, because instead of infering colors based on 4 values (red, green, blue, and overall brightness), you’re adding a 5th value for violet, which makes colors that look similar to baseline humans easier to tell apart. There are people with no lens on their eyes (either a birth defect or they had to be removed) who can fully see UV radiation tho, I don’t even think it requires tetrachromia, the blue cone cells are very slightly sensitive to UV if none of it is absorbed by the lens.
Electric eel. Free electricity go brr
Wombat. The power to take square shits.
A kitten, and my superpowers are gonna be huge dick and $10k/day.
Next question.
Nobody has mentioned radioactive spiders? It was the first thing I thought of.
Meh. That’s been done.

Dog, so that I could lick my own… belly…
A platypus. Because they’re so wild and unique, who knows what powers that would grant.
Fuck, I just got a duck beak.
A turtle! 🐢
- Great lifespan
- Even better defensive skills
- No need to go to a dentist on the account of not needing teeth anymore
- Great software development skills due to Shell Access
Edit, almost forgot:
- Wider housing options (unless they, I dunno, fill the sewers with concrete or something)
- Possibility of martial arts training
All I know that if this works intraspecies, dentists would collect all the powers of various people through incidental biting like Megaman.
Unfortunately, the bites also transfer all mental/emotional baggage.
A cat so I can lick my own ass
a cat. I would like my superpower to be that everybody treats me like a cat
Please get off the couch and stop licking yourself.
Nonchalantly pushed you off a cliff
Pss pss pss psss
Ok, I’m giving up on the cuttlefish powers for this. Also I’m be soft and flexy and faster than I already am! Also secret claws!
Most importantly, I can figure out how to be comfortable practically anywhere!
Bitten by bear. Super power gained: DEATH
See, I’d want hibernation…
I mean, death is kind of like hibernation. It just lasts forever instead of just 1 winter.
toss that alarm clock
Human/dolphin/pig i am already good in the intelligence department, but it’s never too much or something like a turtle, I would live around 200 years, but would have severe motor problems. Intelligence, time and knowledge are the most important abilities imo.
A cute little kitten. Luck powers that completely bend the universe.
