123 Sturgeon

Sturgeon is a piscine humanoid.

Although piscine humanoids have been around for centuries in folklore and mythology, Sturgeon will mostly be seen as a parody of Gill-man from the 1954 film The Creature from the Black Lagoon.  Gill-man is one of the most iconic cinematic monsters and part of the Universal Monsters family.

Some G2 box art suggests that the original Sturgeon would have looked even more like Gill-man.  I speculate that the design was made more into a generic piscine humanoid as to avoid infringing on Universal's copyright.

I have found Sturgeon in two paint schemes.  I suspect that there could be a third, but I have not found it.

Oh here it is!  A little surprise lurking in the outhouse that came with the Vanformer playset.
