SPECIES DICTIONARY

In 2003, medical teams of Project Delta-Omega identified three distinct subspecies among the subjects they’d created, and documented extensive notes about them. Below is a selection of excerpts from their files.

h. sapiens infragilis

WOLFEN

KINGDOM: Animalia
PHYLUM: Chordata
CLASS: Mammalia
ORDER: Primates
FAMILY: Hominidae
TRIBE: Hominini
GENUS: Homo
SPECIES: H. Sapiens
SUBSPECIES: Infragilis
AVAILABLE IMAGERY

GENETIC NOTATIONS:
Successfully transitioned stable specimen. Hybrid DNA integrated into a viable, sentient being with no adverse side effects.

PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES:
Average gestation period 6 months under laboratory conditions. Transition occurs in range of 6 months to 5 years after hatching. Characterized by unusually symmetrical features. Physical proportions on par with human. Bone density 30% above normal. Physical strength 75% above normal. Hearing range tested at 14Hz-57kHz, lower volume threshold confirmed at 5dB. Heightened sense of smell suspected, but unconfirmed due to inadequate testing configuration. 

PSYCHOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS:
Specimens possess heightened intelligence and curiosity toward a wide range of subjects. Average IQ tested at 186 across the litters. Even temperament in 85% of specimens, conducive to formal instruction and training. Rudimentary, but rigid social structure observed. Litters appear to observe a hierarchy of order from the moment they are introduced into group settings.

COMMENTS: Suggest allowing a litter to mature for further observation and testing.

h. sapiens infensus

CONVERT

KINGDOM:Animalia
PHYLUM:Chordata
CLASS:Mammalia
ORDER:Primates
FAMILY:Hominidae
TRIBE:Hominini
GENUS:Homo
SPECIES:H. Sapiens
SUBSPECIES:Infensus
AVAILABLE IMAGERY

GENETIC NOTATIONS:
Genetic variant presents with an early transition (between 2 months and 4 years). Expedited maturation cycle after transition results in full reproductive maturity within 3 months.

PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES:
Observed change in pigmentation likely due to the fact that subjects do not maintain stable body temperature. Subjects adjust to match ambient room temperature, displaying no effects on physical or cognitive function within the tolerated spectrum of -5 to 55°C (23 to 131°F). Subjects appear to have malformations in the inner ear, resulting in poor hearing. Communication is impaired. Some success achieved through ASL, though further study required on development.

PSYCHOLOGIAL OBSERVATIONS:
Cognitive abilities severely impaired. Psychological testing suspended due to unpredictable outbursts of violent behavior. No social structure observed. Adjust dietary regiment. Conversion affects digestive tract—subjects strictly carnivorous. Security flag raised to red.

COMMENTS: Extreme caution advised

h. sapiens soporatus

INERT

KINGDOM:Animalia
PHYLUM:Chordata
CLASS:Mammalia
ORDER:Primates
FAMILY:Hominidae
TRIBE:Hominini
GENUS:Homo
SPECIES:H. Sapiens
SUBSPECIES:Soporatus
AVAILABLE IMAGERY

GENETIC NOTATIONS:
Approx. 20% subgroup of litter show no measurable signs of transition after 4 years of age. DNA testing confirmed grafts integrated properly, but remain dormant.

PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES:
Physical development on pace with human benchmarks. No anomalous characteristics observed. Pheromone markers absent. Physical regeneration unresponsive.

PSYCHOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS:
Cognitive development on par with human. Temperament variable across specimens. Fear response observed normal. Anger response variable across specimens.

COMMENTS:
Security flag: green. Clearance to socialize inert subjects with Wolfen.
