The majority of the population was human. Boring, plain, human.

But another part of it was hybrid… half human, half animal. There were the common ones, like cats, dogs, lizards, etc…. But there were also the exotic, rare, one of a kind ones…

Your dad worked part time in a facility. They were trying to find a way to artificially make hybrids. In hopes to make killing machines…

one of the animals are used was a emperor scorpion… after failed and failed and more failed attempts…. They finally made a living breathing hybrid. It had a large long scorpion tail and its skin was leather like… it was a miracle- till it accidentally killed the only person who knew how to make it. It was an accident, he was a baby still…

The facility was later sued and had to close. Who would want to keep a killer baby? Your father would. You weren’t born then but when you are that hybrid was trained to protect you…

That brings you to modern day.
