It knows it cannot mate because of its deformed appearance (mating is an essential, biological instinct for all organisms). It expressed a desire to claw people's eyes to stop them from gazing upon it, and even claimed that it wanted to remove its own eyes so that it would not see its own reflection. It was intelligent enough to understand English and communicate through sign language, and was under the constant impression that everyone hated it because of its deformed appearance. The Outsider was an embodiment of self-loathing and envy. The creature's body was retrieved by Lemuel Johnson, who secretly allowed Travis and Nora to keep the recuperated Einstein. Eventually, it even started to beg for Travis to end its life, which he reluctantly accepted by giving it a second, fatal shot. While its speech pattern was primitive, Travis was able to understand that its bloodthirsty desire was motivated by a large amount of self-loathing. Once Travis and the Outsider was alone, the creature revealed that it could actually talk. But Travis managed to wound it and chased it outside before it could kill him. It managed to track them down once again however, broke into their house and succeeded in seriously injuring Einstein. After a brief battle with the monster, the trio changed names and moved to a new location to escape it. A few victims managed to survive and tell agent Johnson about what they had seen.īy the time the Outsider found the retriever, it had been adopted and named Einstein by two humans named Travis and Nora. The Outsider went on a killing spree throughout the states murdering several humans and animals, including a lumberjack, a police officer, a couple of hikers, a group of zoo animals and more.

A federal agent named Lemuel Johnson who had already gotten to know both creatures was tasked with finding them. Because of a vague telepathic link they had with each other, the Outsider could track his prey wherever he went. However, the baboon-hybrid also grew to loathe his older 'brother' and when they one day both escaped out into the wilderness, a deadly game of cat-and-mouse began. The retriever and the outsider grew up together, and both developed a fondness for Mickey Mouse-cartoons. She used the DNA of baboons as a base, and the result was a deformed being that was simply labeled as the outsider. However, a doctor named Yarbeck tried to take it one step further by not only creating a highly intelligent animal, but also making it specifically designed to kill. The first successful test-subject was a friendly male Golden retriever, who was intelligent enough to understand human speech. In a secret research-lab in California specialized in genetic warfare, a experiment with the purpose of creating animals with human intelligence was being carried out.
