I'm surprised by your chameleon whale. I've never found any part of the chameleon besides the head and tail to be worth a damn. With the possible exception of the torso when combined with a giraffe, but no one in their right mind would deploy such a monstrosity. Not when the musk ox is available.
In fact, all three of your level fives are far too slow for me. Though for all that, the elephant is definitely good for all that. I've used in myself, and the rhinoceros equivalent was most effective against Ganglion's archer hippos. I've also used that same mountain lion and flying scorpion. I've also made the fish chimp, but purely for my own pleasure rather than deployment.
The first time I completed the game I used scorpions with whale heads for the final assault, with were potent enough to pound their way in the front door with absolutely no tactics whatsoever. The primary benefit being that it's ranged attack would take down flyers and antwhales, but will always close to melee against buildings where the claws can come into effect. Fuck, they were slow.
Most recently I combined the whale with the komodo dragon. These days I find it difficult to invest in creatures without regeneration.
The sperm whale pisses me off though. It's clear that Relic had only ever seen a picture of one in profile. Not sure what their excuse for the ant was, though. Or the dragonfly. Or the scorpion. Or the lobster.

There'll never be a sequel of course. Let's all observe a moment's silence for Relic.

Relic is still alive and developing. It's now owned by Sega.
They never intended to make a sequel. Unfortunate. Do you know that the creatures they cut from the game during development included the octopus, penguin and henchman? I'd have like to see that.
