So. For Thanksgiving, I thought of something I thought was a bit funny.
We have our genetically mutated turkey. It has teeth in its beak, along with acidic saliva. Not to mention it's five times the size of a normal turkey. On the other side, is a 'pilgrim'. He is in his prime and good health. He is armed with a blunderbuss (of course a couple of horns for it, along with rounds) - which he learned to use quite well when hunting with his father.
The arena? A colonial city street.
I'd like to say that the pilgrim will win, which he could. But a single hit from that acid spit is going to be too much to run away from it. If he was able to duck around corners until shooting the turkey into a bloody pulp, pilgrim wins.

Let's just assume that the Turkey's body has the same type of average dimensions of a human.
4x1x1 = 4 square feet = 29 pounds.
7.29 pounds per sqfoot.
20x5x5 = 500 square feet = x
7.29 x 500 = x = 3,645 pounds.
So this things weighs 3+ tons, and assuming square-cube law isn't in play, it's going to have strength to match it. Now, once I abandon it having human dimensions, I imagine its weight might gain or lose a bit, but nothing that'll make too much of a difference (lol, hopefully). It'll be about 20 feet long (abandoning human dimensions), but its movements will be pretty quick for its size. Honestly I see this as either being a tie (they both kill each other when they get close to each other- Turkey scratches Pilgrim, Pilgrim gets a close lethal shot in, Turkey falls on Pilgrim and acid drips on Pilgrim) or being in favor of the Turkey a bit, since the Blunderbuss isn't the easiest to dodge or aim with, or the easiest to reload for that matter.

I'm honestly not too sure on what I meant by "with horns for it". I'm also not sure how I came up with this idea, either.
But, yeah. It'd most likely end up in the turkey winning, or it resulting in a draw.
