What it develops

Observation — looks carefully at how an animal is really built: wings, legs, tail, skin
Combining ideas — picks the best parts of two animals and joins them into something new
Imagination — invents a creature nobody has ever seen, with its own superpower
Independent decisions — they decide which parts to keep and which to leave out
