Dr. Chi

A diminutive but persnickety Chinese-Peruvian, Dr. Chi Lu Ming, has a thing for the human hand. Chi was fascinated with the wondrous dexterity of this human appendage and was soon grafting and mutating the hand into and onto a wide variety of life forms. Chi envisioned "pet hands" as companions and aids to the handicapped and as a source of inexpensive labor for assembly lines in manufacturing. He attempted to create an organism that was at once rudimentarily intelligent, docile and obedient. At this he was successful. Unfortunately, due to their minimal body area, leaving room for things like a digestive system, these creatures must be intravenously fed two or three times a day and undergo expensive dialysis treatments a couple times a week. Although incapable of speech, several of Chi's specimens acquired the ability of sign language.

Traveling with Dr. Chi was his assistant, Ho Yang. Fritz Lügner worked along side this strange little man for nearly four years. He had a nasty streak, Lügner discovering him more than once, teasing the specimens. One of his favorites was setting mouse traps to catch the little fingers.
