If you want to look through his genome and try to figure out what went wrong, I'd love to hear your findings. |

A ten-years-late comment to say with Verm's help I figured out what's wrong with this guy. Short version: a prostaglandin receptor in his genome's uterus had mutated to affect clock rate instead of repair rate. The uterus was sex-linked but the receptor was not, so it affected his time line organ (which controls aging, as well as death from low energy and ATP, and wounds). Since all his other organs were dead for one reason or the other, he had no prostaglandin in his system and thus his time organ stopped, and thus he became immortal. If you inject him with prostaglandin he dies instantly. | |||||||||||

That's why I said it wasn't the lifespan genes that made him immortal. He ages normally, he just doesn't die. If I remember correctly, Creatures don't die of old age if they don't hit the senile/ancient stage first. I remember changing that gene in the Anai. I don't really know what happened with the clone that got sick and had most of his organs die. He should have been dead, but he survived. I wasn't watching him closely, and I don't really know what happened to make him like that. | |||||||||||

@kittyTikara, but his lifespan genes (which are presumably unmutable and unchanged) should still age him unless he is producing the life chemical somewhere. Plus he should die if his organs die. | |||||||||||

Looks pretty cool! | |||||||||||

It's not the lifespan genes. The only thing I can find that's odd about this Grendel is that his organs all quickly die when he gets sick. Of course this also kills them given enough time. One of his clones quickly lost all but three of his organs just from some random bacteria in the room he was in. He's still alive and I think he's immortal like your Grendel here is. In other words, I think the problem lies with his immune system. | |||||||||||
