I think that the stinger resembles a stingray's stinger more than one of the scorpion. Having a stingray influence has much more sense to me, because all the other animals which are included (including humans) are vertebrates. The stinger on a tail seems fleshy and flexible, unlike the exoskeleton stinger of the scorpion, which moves along a mostly singular path.

[@uccidi]

You know what, that makes a lot of sense, and I was thinking the "wings", while not avian or mammalian, did look a lot like fish fins. Maybe some flying fish. They definitely didn't look like bug wings, far too vascularised for that, and to my knowledge bugs don't really fold their wings that much. Fold them to lay along the body definitely, but that's only really at one "joint" not along multiple like you'd need to get something to retract so close to the skin without risking it being damaged.

I noticed something about the eyes you didn't quite grab. Yes, as you said, her eyes start off on the sides of her head, but I saw that not as amphibious but mammalian. Consider rabbits, mice, deer, cows, et cetera - all mammals, all prey, and thus all with outward facing eyes. Dren, at the beginning, had prey traits and personality. As they aged/matured, the eyes moved to the front and Dren became more aggressive - it moved from prey to predator.

[@blanktitle198]

Bingo!

[@youtubeisapublisher6407]

@@blanktitle198 In addition, her eyes being spaced widely apart would give her both a wider field of view and substantially improved depth perception, the fact that she moves her whole head instead of just her eyes to look at things further indicates that the eyes themselves are at least partially fixed forward like many predatory birds, implying superb telescope-like focus.

[@SpottedHares]

Sounds like a rather good evolutionary trait as well. When your young and helpless you can really on your parents to aid in providing sustenance for you, while you small size and lack of experience puts better pressure on surviving to adolescence. It at adolescence that the eyes move forward in order to prep the infant for their predator life style.

I think the reason dren killed the cat was because her "mother" took it away from her at first which to her meant it must have not been good. So she killed it and looked happy expecting her "mother" to be happy. Dren was normal and very innocent till the parents, a man who never wanted her to exist and a woman who wanted full control over a unknown life form decided to mess things up with their horrible parenting.

[@LadyCoyKoi]

That is why I think Dren would've grown up to be a wonderful adult if her/his parents were wonderful people to begin with, but they weren't. Dren wasn't the experiment, her parents (i.e. scientists) were the real experiments... they couldn't handle the task of being real parents. The way they treated Dren is something I wouldn't even do to any of my pets. I would've used positive behavior training. Focused mainly on the good or acceptable behavior. I do this when I am house training my pets. It is more efficient and effectively than punishment. 🤷

[@tingmingxiy790]

I thought that she killed the cat out of defiance. Dren seemed offended by what elsa said about "its nice having a pet" and took it like she was referring to her as being the pet.

[@layna-heyhey]

Not to mention they had a program that helped them going through hundreds of dna combos and it seems that the program was having a hard time find a human combo that worked with any animals. I think something in the clownfish dna was a must for the creature to even exist. It could very well be the gene that lets it change sex that made it so vital to begin with. Not the sex changing bit but the ability to recode and change ones body, kind of a fast evolution which would have been needed since dna has so much junk dna to begin with mix that with other animals and it needed to keep evolving to be viable, without it the creature would not be and that might have been a chance they where willing to take but didnt relise how much the creature would pull on that dna and change.

[@Raven1Nevermore]

I've always seen the movie as less a story about creating a monster and more about the damage that abusive and controlling parents can do. Dren didn't lash out because she wasn't human, she lashed out because she was being abused. Furthermore, it also has things to say about people taking care of something while ignoring the needs of the life they're taking care of. So many people get a pet and then punish that pet for doing things that come naturally to it, like blaming a dog for barking or wanting to run and exert energy, or getting a hamster and putting it in a tiny cage not suited to it. Just because you love something doesn't mean you're actually taking care of it. The scientists are to blame. They tormented Dren basically her whole life, both in terms of caring for an exotic animal, and in terms of parents caring for a child. If they had been better at fulfilling the responsibility they'd signed up for, this wouldn't have happened.

I ended up having a love/hate relationship with this movie. Initially, I liked it but as the story went on (and afterward when I put more thought into it) I actually felt so bad for Dren that I couldn't help but see Clive and Elsa as the real villains here. Regardless of any actions Dren eventually took, she was innocent from the perspective that she never asked to be born a one-off apex predator. The part of her that was an innocent, sweet girl that wanted love from her "parents" and the animal side of her that clashed were solely the responsibility of the scientists that made her. I tried going back and watching it again a year or so ago but, about twenty minutes in, I was so irritated and distracted re-watching Clive and Elsa make those mistakes I just turned it off. It's definitely a movie that works from the angle of making you think about how humans repeatedly try to "play God" and the consequences. Cheers.

They were the pad people. Elsa was raised by an abusive mother and in turn became an abusive mother herself towards Dren who was basically her daughter. This happens all the time in real life with abusive parents, it's basically the never ending cycle of abuse.

[@SI0AX]

@SubversiveMemes Dren showed human like emotion and behavior. She had Elsa's genes in her and responded negatively when Elsa took the cat away from her for no good reason, which made her dislike Elsa and in turn like Clive. And how could we be sure of it's lifespan when it was killed before completing it's cycle. Sure it had accelerated maturing but it's unknown how long it could have lived for.

I actually think Dren had more sea life in her than most people are suggesting. The tail always read to me as the stinger of a stingray, or the spines of a lionfish, or any number of other venomous sea creatures. The stinger just looks so much like it came from something aquatic. Also, there’s lots of sea creatures that change their sex, not just clownfish. In the movie, there are multiple lines that can clue us in to what’s actually in Dren’s DNA, and while the scientists may be lacking in common sense, they did still make Dren. Elsa is initially surprised at the stinger, because she claims they “didn’t use any predatory or venomous animals”, and Clive mumbles that “well, there’s the human element...” Additionally, there are tons of moments that emphasize the scientists believing Dren “should not want to eat meat.” This feels intentional. What a lot of people don’t realize is that just about every herbivore has dined on meat opportunistically, at least a little. There are nutrients in meat that you will always be deficient in as a strict herbivore. Deer and cows have been observed chewing on old dry bones for phosphorus and calcium, which is pretty hard to come by in grass and flowers. Nature doesn’t care about morals, just survival, and herbivores are always down to snack on a baby bird that’s fallen from the nest or nibble on a little fresh carrion if it seems like there’s a chance no predators are nearby. Back to Dren though. Because they explicitly state that they didn’t use any explicitly predatory animals and they clearly have only a baseline understanding of animal behavior (they believe that Fred and Ginger fought because they were males, and didn’t think any further or consider that there could be other factors at play, they had the same response as someone who had two male hamsters in one cage despite the fact that Fred and Ginger were literally two new animals that had no prior records to suggest they behaved like known animals), I believe that she’s made up of mostly fish, amphibians and human DNA. I think Dren absolutely did have some amphibian DNA in her, although I think she actually has more salamander than frog in her, because many species of salamanders have incredible regenerative abilities. Also Dren exhibits a peculiar aging process, which while not necessarily the same as a salamander, still feels like a result of strange genes that might express themselves differently when combined with the other things floating around in Dren’s genome. There is also a species of newt that has been known to weaponize its own rib bones, which are covered in a toxic substance. The sharp ribbed Iberian newt, which also, coincidentally, has those powerful regenerative abilities and the process of how the stinger unsheathes looks pretty similar to the threat display of a sharp ribbed Iberian newt, who is effectively breaking easily-healed bones and pushing them through pores on its sides to make itself a threat, with toxic secretions coming from those pores in the process. And if you think breaking bones to weaponize them is unusual, there is also the horror frog, a frog that has been known to break the bones in its hands, push the splinters through its toe pads, and use them like claws, with a mechanism in place that both breaks them and pushes them through said toe pads more easily and they again have that crazy healing speed to help them deal with the broken bones following the injuries they are left with. Overall, if there is one thing that amphibians frequently seem to be capable of evolving, it’s toxic secretions, unconventional stingers or claws made from broken bones, and a ridiculously good healing factor. Regardless of whether it was a frog or a salamander, they definitely contributed to the legs. And Dren started aa a weird tadpole-shaped pod that later “hatched” into a thing with no arms, then developed arms later on. There’s an amphibian in there and it’s a hill I will die on. I also believe multiple fish were involved. I think they used at least one species of parrotfish. Parrotfish are herbivores, they scrape algae off rocks with the beaks that give them their name. Unlike clownfish, which only go from male-to-female, parrotfish often do the reverse. Depending on the species, some change partway through development while still sexually immature, which matches up way better with what we saw in the movie. There’s no way of telling if Dren was even sexually mature yet when Clive did what he did, Dren was aging on a completely different timeframe. As for the wings, I actually think they’re a modified set of fins. There’s so much Dren already has that’s geared towards living in the water, it makes more sense to me that she just used those fins to fly or glide instead. Flying fish did it. Why not Dren? And they don’t look stiff enough to be insectoid wings to me. They seem just a little too fleshy. A little too vascular, and they fold into the skin which further signals that they aren’t rigid like insect wings. They look way more like fins that have been repurposed as wings. And even amidst all that, genes are funny things. DNA is funky. Sometimes turning off one gene can end up effecting the expression of a completely different, seemingly unrelated gene. The gene in dogs that codes for a predisposition to being friendly with humans happens to also be linked to genes that cause the cartilage in their ears to deform, making them floppy. For all we know, Dren is half human and kangaroo and the genes are just mixing super weird. Hard to say, especially when the sample size is one single really fucked up specimen.

Turns out she was right; she'd inherited her mother's abusive insanity as we see in how she treats Dren; and Dren also inherited it.

Any positive thing about Dren is immediately nullified by the fact that she killed a cat.

Wow. TY for the breakdown of what kind of creature Dren was. I always wondered what she was mixed with besides human DNA. I also learned a lot about clownfish, so thank you for sharing that!

They're basically the same movie, its like downloading a different skin for your game charcter. Same character, just slightly different cosmetics. Will Ferrell movies are all just vehicles for him to act like a giant man-child and get cheap laughs out of adults who should have grown out of that kind of juvenile idiocy a long time ago.
