Professor Adams makes an adorable mutant critter: a pet alligator crossed with a few dog breeds to make it fluffy and friendly. Everyone else in town is scared of the pal-igator, so Chloe and Professor Adams try to show that their new pet is completely harmless. Unfortunately, an accident at the dog park proves otherwise.
Chloe is helping Professor Adams at her secret underwater lab when she gets a chance to splice her own creature. She wants to make sea monkeys easier to see by making them bright green. But Chloe ends up with a lot more pea monkeys than she can handle. Hundreds of them.
While Professor Adams is out doing errands, Chloe is asked to give the professor's pet, Buddy, a bath. But Buddy is no ordinary pet. He's an electric seal, a unique creature the professor spliced together. Chloe has to figure out a way to bathe a playful but electrifying animal so she doesn't get zapped!
It's Chloe's first day of her summer job as a lab assistant for Professor Adams, who might be a somewhat mad scientist. Chloe has to help take care of Venus flytrap mutants, including what Professor Adams calls a Mean-us Flytrap, a giant three-headed creature that's very hungry.
Chloe and Professor Adams find a rattlesnake about to gobble up a mouse outside the professor's house. Then Chloe gets an idea: why not splice the snake with Essence of Cattle to make it friendlier? After the mutation is complete, Chloe and the professor have a cute but gargantuan cattlesnake problem on their hands. DO.
Chloe spends a day off with her dad, but she unexpectedly comes across Professor Adams's latest creation. Hundreds of crawfish, armed with pencils and paintbrushes, swarm downtown and give it an artistic makeover. But the mayor isn't happy about another incident with the professor's mutants, and he threatens to shut down the experiments for good.
