Doc chose the bald eagle and the squirrel monkey, and Mr. Westmore likes his concept of "flying squirrel" with goggles and bomber jacket.

Cig, like George, chose the armadillo and the alligator. They decide to stick close in the lab so they don't wind up doing the same exact thing. How embarrassing would that be? Not to mention, one of them might go home.

Sasha sculpted feathers for the face of her tawny owl/bobcat, a risky move that paid off and got her into top looks.

Keaghlan's incoherent paint job and cartoonish look earned her a harsh critique from all three judges.
58611
The judges loved Cig's concept of a super soldier with the ferocity of an alligator and the armor of an armadillo - plus his sculpture and paint job back it up! He's in top looks.

Damien, with his tawny owl/coatimundi creation, pulls off a stunning blend of feathers and fur, and scores his first win!
58621
Just being in top looks makes him want to jump for joy.

Stella scrapped her face sculpt after feedback from Mr. Westmore, and never quite got back on track with blending the two animals. She's on bottom looks for this one.
