As a byproduct of Project Grimes, Acidmaws generated enormous amounts of data on gene editing and adaptation to HIEROS-I contamination.
They were meant to be destroyed once the experiments ended, but the sudden explosion brought the project to an abrupt halt.
At every stage of development, Acidmaws proved more adaptable than cockroaches. Humanity can at least be grateful that their reproductive genes were disabled before the disaster...
The project's earliest records describe juvenile Acidmaws as moderately intelligent, capable of recognizing simple commands and emotional cues.
After several generations in the wild, that potential disappeared. The only behavior they retained was the ability to curl into a ball, hide their soft underbellies, and roll across the ground.
Toward darker places. Toward deeper places. Back toward the place where they were first created.
