In FASA products, there is some precedent for decking dragons, but let's
stay away from that one on the wider bands (I've got players on here, and
they haven't met 'ol Eliohann or Dunklezahn yet... )
Don't recall what the rules say, but I know that critters don't take cyberware
too well. In the literature, I remember Gibson's modified dogs-- hounds with
sensory hoods attached to their heads, giving IR vision, motion sensors, and
a locator of some sort, if I remember correctly (_Count Zero_, right?) In
general, I think that altered critters are interesting, but I'd watch using
them as a common occurrence-- cyberware mods are expensive, it's easier to
use creatures that are naturally/paranaturally nasty...
Tho I'd bet that the prototypes for human wired reflexes were first tested on
something else... say, dogs or cats? Heh heh heh....
