Homebrew Experiment Species Details

Grown in the lab of a mad scientist, experiments possess some fantastical abilities due to their genetic makeup. They are immensely strong and durable, and some possess advanced intelligence. However their durability comes at a cost since they are extremely dense, and so will sink in bodies of water.

Each experiment is bred with a fixation on something, although some experiments manage to overcome their programming and live normal lives.
