The mercs and cute semi-aquatic creatures :)
[left to right: otter, muskrat, seal, tapir, beaver, capybara, puffin, platypus, mink, pygmy hippo]

I only plan for semiaquatic mammals, but i couldnt find one that fits medic, so he gets a bird

Scout: Otters are sleek, fast and cool
Soldier: I want something similar to raccoons. Muskrats are also native to north AMERICA!
Pyro: I think he would like seals. They are round and look huggable
Demo: Tapir in japanese folklore are said to eat nightmares. For someone who passes out a lot, i think it’s a good fit.
Engineer: Beavers can build
Heavy: Capybara is square-shaped and chill
Medic: I think he would like any types of aquatic birds. I pick puffins cause they are cool! Fly, swim, dive, burrow, they can do anything!
Sniper: Pretty predictable lol. Platypuses are australia native
Spy: Mink. Small yet a deadly hunter

SNIPER THE PLATYPUS??!?!?
