So I decided to incorporate an illegal genetic experimentation circuit as a big problem in my world's lore?

This is the first of likely many creatures I will make. He's the first successful attempt at genetic engineering that managed to live longer than a week. In fact, this guy here is several years old and has grown from his original size. Despite this, he still has a lot of... defects. Both physical/aesthetic and neurological.

Titled "Bootleg" by some rather... insensitive researchers due to his disfigured appearance. He used to live in the lab until a police bust which he used as an opportunity to escape. He now roams as a nomad in both the wilderness and civilized areas, looking for a purpose and a home.

I have yet to think of the name of the specific lab that created him, but yeah.
