According to an interview in Popular Mechanics, the entire idea for the sci-fi horror Splice was sparked by the real-life image of a lab rat with a human ear growing out of its back. Basically, it was always going to have creepy, genetically mutated creatures from the get-go. Director Vincenzo Natali even worked with a real geneticist while writing the script to make sure things were as realistic as possible. Sure, we may not be growing a Dren in the lab anytime soon (especially because the ethics are questionable at best), but what about in the future?

For something so bizarre-looking, Dren is actually kind of beautiful — as much as a humanoid with a tail, wings, and triple-jointed legs can be. That's largely due to actress Delphine Chanéac's stunning good looks, and the fact that it took more than a decade to flesh out. Natali used designers who came from a fine arts background rather than a film background to create a more realistic movie monster.

"What I wanted to do with Dren, in her later stages, was to change the human form in subtle ways," he told Popular Mechanics. "I felt the small changes would actually be more shocking than the big ones. If you make a small change to somebody's face, it is much more jarring than some kind of gross deformation."
