I got a cheap and easy pig mutation for those of us on a budget.  A whole suckling
pig is an expensive pain in the pork butt, but any butcher can get you pigs feet, and
they're cheap too.  I attach whole pigs' feet to a turkey, add a beaky head carved
from a large orange and call it a Gryphon.  Served this at Caid Twelfth Night 2000,
several of the knights swiped the Gryphon orange heads and started playing puppet
theatre with them.  Quality time.
