Hybrid research

  • Dren from Splice (2009)

The parts: Dren is a second generation genetic experiment, a human-animal hybrid made by fusing proteins from a genetically modified vermiform with human DNA.

The whole: Initially a cutesy little creature (played by Abigail Chu), Dren grows to resemble a human woman (Delphine Chaneac) albeit one with a stinger and far too widely-spaced eyes and then morphs into a male whatever-it-is. With wings.

  • Lota from Island Of Lost Souls (1932)

The parts: A panther, lots of cosmetic surgery, and human blood transfusions.

The whole: More hideous in concept than execution, Lota (Kathleen Burke) looks like a beautiful woman but she isnt. Shes a surgically enhanced panther, seemingly capable of human emotion, but also very much capable of turning back into a panther, claws, teeth, and all.

  • The creature from Peter Benchleys Creature (1998)
