The mission for Dr. Hex

You black out. When you come to, you wake to see three things: A woman standing over you, a man standing over you, and a large green thing right in front of your eyes.

"He's awake," says the woman. "It's a good thing raw firgrean doesn't affect you mentally," says the man.

You feel hairless. Your skin is rough and... scaly.

"This one is lucky," says the woman, "Being an alligator for the first time probably isn't as bad as being prematurely aged."

Out of the corner of your eye, you see the bed where Maroo was before... and sitting on top is a woman who looks to be in her sixties. She's sitting up, awake, her eyes fixed on you.

You rouse, and sit up. That's odd, you think, alligators shouldn't be able to sit up. You examine yourself, and realize you are not a true alligator, but an anthromorphic one.

"Ah, good, you are awake," says the man. "We need to brief you immediately and relocate you. We don't want the employees to get a whiff of what happened."

"How do we get back to normal?" asks Maroo in her age-crackled voice.

"We currently do not know," says the woman. "We thought our containment systems were secure enough, so we never fully researched raw firgrean. We do believe one of our competitors, Dr. Hex, knows how. He, however,", she continues with a frustrated grimace, "will be very difficult to extract the information from. It will be even harder to find him."

"Hey!" you exclaim in a deep voice, "My dad left a couple of weeks ago to find that guy!"

"Yes," answers the man. "Unfortunately, your father has been captured by Dr. Hex. We received a message from Hex a few days ago. It was insulting, telling us to not hire agents to snoop around his doings. Oddly enough", he puzzles, "we never hired anyone! At least, that's what my boss says..."

The woman cuts in. "All we know is that Hex's base is on an island. The island could be Greek, Pacific, Atlantic, Carribean, anything! Luckily we've specified the five most likely islands his base could be on. One is a greek island, the other is in the middle of the Pacific, another is off the coast of Africa, the next is an arctic island near Canada, and the last is a small Japanese island. Just tell us where you want to look."

"Which one is the most likely?" asks Maroo.

"Well," says the man, "we could give you a list of attributes for each island, and let you decide that. We will continue your briefing. It will last a little under an hour. You'll transform once more, and be on your way."

After the long and boring briefing, you and Maroo decide to go to the ________ island. On your way to the helipad, you transform, the green dots popping in front of your face. What creature will you be? Which island did you decide on?
