"What Would An APE/HUMAN Hybrid Look Like?" Topic

A lot has been said about the hybrids Stalin allegedly planned to make:

I know I posted this as a fictional scenario. However, IF it could be done now, and someone did combine the two and raised the resulting creature(s) . . .

Would it be anything like this?

Or this?
Chuman

Or even this?

If someone were to make miniatures of a hybrid, do you think it should be more ape-like or more human-like?

What features would you say the miniatures should have, to make them look like convincing hybrids?

If done for military purposes, do you think that the ape DNA would be Chimpanzee (the most regularly violent of the great apes*)? Or do you think they would go with something more docile, so as to have better control of it?

Go to any "heavy duty" gym in the USA … you'll find a lot of Ape/Human hybrids …

The first picture is kinda cute, an I think most likely. The second picture looks like a chimp / grey hybrid. The third is just a poor hairless chimp.
I like the psychically controlled Russian chimp miniatures from weird war two :)

How about this

Homo habilis

I think I work with a couple….

Maybe this?

Hmmm, the "Chuman" artist seems to think that crossing the species will lead to the hybrid having eyes 5 to 6 times as large as either.
I'd imagine something like one of the extinct human ancestors would be the likeliest look as Ogednlulimus suggests.

So, would you say that Chimpanzee would be the most logical Ape DNA used?

Well there's the AE-WWII Soviet Chumans. I believe the guys at Darkson Designs were inspired by the History Channel series on Monsters a few years back which covered Stalin's experiments.

In the AE-WWII history, the hybrid testing was unsuccessful until the after the discovery of the Psi phenomenon sweeping the Soviet citizens (as a result of the explosion at Tunguska). Using humans altered from the Tunguska blast (or their decendents) they were able to successfully cross-breed humans and chimpanzees.

Originally used as a low-skilled workforce, these hybrids were then pressed into military service as shock troops.

In game terms these units move fast and ignore rough terrain. They're close combat specalists and have a demoralizing effect on enemy troops.

Despite being used in small quantities and unarmed, there is a story in the back of the core rulebook that describes an SS unit getting overrun by a large number of these and several were described as waving PPSh SMGs around.

here's another –

That's a Dr Who Ogron.

According to my friends and family, it would probably look quite a bit like me. Only slightly more distinguished and with a more polished, intellectual air.

I'm taking book on how long before this goes Blue Fez..

Damn dirty Apes!

This is creepy stuff:

I think we have lots of material there for a modern evil scientist gaming scenario, don't you think?

An Ape Island Of Dr. Moreau, perhaps?

I like the Darkson minis, though want more and would need to give them some PPsh smgs. Anyone make a WWII Russian weapons packs?

Have you ever seen a game of Rugby Union?

Sort of like a human, sort of like some other ape…

"What Would An APE/HUMAN Hybrid Look Like?"

Egads! That's what those things were in high school!

I thought they were so called "jocks".

I would have to say like my former brother-in-law. A really great and dependable through thick and thin guy who was an artillery crewman on an M109 before he transferred and became a carpenter (and helped me properly align the shingles on my house when I re-roofed it), but man, he reminded me of an ape – solid and built like one. He would have been very, very scary to encounter in close combat.

Depends what they were being ber for?
Hosehold servants = cute none threatening
police or fire department work powerful
Political representatives hell just leave them as they are!!!

I'd say something about this, but don't want to end up in the dawg house.

Humans are apes. Question too vague.

Ok, Plynkes.

Just for you . . . "What Would A NON-HUMAN PRIMATE/HUMAN Hybrid Look Like?"

Better now? :)

So, what do you think it would look like? Any suggestions or ideas we could use or toss around?

It might look something this: link

Hmmm, the "Chuman" artist seems to think that crossing the species will lead to the hybrid having eyes 5 to 6 times as large as either.

The chuman image looks like it should be called a greypanzee and not a chuman.

I suspect like someone from from Wisconsin.

They're accepting anyone up to 42 years of age.

Oh man. Is that what you did?

I missed it by a couple of years.

Hey guys!

I went ahead and created a FLICKR album to capture as many images as possible for anyone out there interested in sculpting SF Apes in 15mm, 28mm or any other size:

For 15mm, the Brazilian game Iron Warriors (formerly Nazi Mekas) has Soviet Jungle Comrades.

I guess this is how the first hybrids must have originated:

Man, this is really weird. And I can see why they never showed it on film:

(had to be said)

A lot would depend upon the dominance of different genes that control epigenetic traits.

We will have no real way to know for sure until we actually make one. And that will probably be a long time coming.

Although the "George Bush" comment may come closest to the mark. It would probably have an intellect that was closer to Rick Perry though (have you seen his grades at TAMU? He got something like a 1.9GPA).

How about the Splintered Light Yetis?

As soon as I saw I thought he was some sort of human/chimp hybrid, and he didn't prove me wrong!

The answer, of course, to what a human/ape hybrid would look like, is this.

Behold, and tremble.

My guess is that an ape/human hybrid would look like Ron Pearlman or Tom Waits. Only hairier.
