Drone #1

Here we see the result of a quest for an ultra-obedient worker, who asks no questions and makes no demands. One who would work long hours doing tedious, redundant labor without complaining or tiring. Lang went a little too far, creating not just a brainless individual, but one with a negative space; a vacuum if you will, in place of the cranium. A mental equivalent to a black hole. Unfortunately, as will happen with mad doctors' creations, so powerful was the mental gravity surrounding one of these specimens that it actually sucked the intelligence out of anyone who got too close.

Homo Canis

In this experiment Dr. Lang tried to create a dog with human attributes; the ability to speak, ability to read, more intelligent, more dexterous, able to walk on it's hind legs when needed, able to climb a ladder or drive a car. A good companion. Non-shedding. No fangs. No claws. What he got was a human with canine attributes; a four-footed crotch-sniffing, garbage eating, cat chasing, bone burying, yelling threats at strangers, licking it's . . . , well you get the picture.

The Dud

This 'dud', as Lügner explains, was the result of a lack of attention to detail. While each Doctor worked on the dexterity of the hands of this experiment, neither paid any attention to the legs. It ended up with none. The doctors looked at each other and said "I thought you were doing the legs".
The specimen compensated by using it's hand to get around, which resulted in extremely strong fingers. Because of their strength they lost their dexterity which nullified the experiments goal. This guy, though not very bright, was really quick. It escaped, ran into the street, getting it's fingers stuck in the holes in a manhole cover and was crushed beyond recognition by a bus.

The Reporter

This creature, 'The Reporter', was inspired by the phrase "If these walls had ears". Designed as a 'biologic surveillance device', The Reporter, not much larger than a human ear, had birdlike talons with which it could grip almost anything. It also possessed acute hearing, excellent memory recall and the ability to speak. Two things made this device less than ideal for it's intended purpose: It had to be retrieved in order for it to 'report' what it heard. Secondly, it's acute hearing was actually quite painful to The Reporter which eventually drove it insane.
