Dr. Hölzer
Lügner enjoyed
his association with Dr. Hölzer. The two of them got along well.
Dr. Hörst Hölzer was a gaunt, brooding, dark haired man. Tall,
with long fingers and cursed with a pair of prominent and undeniably pointy
ears. All these and his rather high forehead left one with the impression
of a cartoonish parody of a mad scientist. The irony is that Holzer was
a mad scientist.
One of his most successful designs was an eight-legged chicken he intended
to license to a fast food chain. Hölzer's specialty was animal, and
sometimes animal/human, mutation. The end results were mainly animalian
in nature. Hölzer, and other scientists of his ilk, measured success
by whether their creatures lived. Whether his creations were viable or
manageable was another matter. Most of these wretched creatures did not
live more than a few hours. As a matter of this unofficial organization's
policy, the bodies of the creatures were always cremated on-site to eliminate
any evidence of their existence. We have only Lugner's drawings as testament
these creatures existed.
