This mod has been discontinued and will no longer be developed as a standalone project.
It will be reworked and included in an upcoming species collection that is currently in development.
Once the collection is uploaded this standalone mod will be deleted.

This mod was created using a combination of AI-generated art and GIMP for detailed corrections and final touch-ups.

This is a pure flavor mod that doesn’t overwrite any game files. It simply adds animated portraits with custom sounds and room background—nothing more. These portraits represent hominids evolved into hybrids. While technically they should have a separate species class, I chose to keep them within the Hominid family for simplicity.
Species has 4 phenotypes, one unique for females, one for males and two shared. Each of them comes in 10 colour variants.

And massive thanks to very talented mnidjm who edited vanilla mesh and made a custom one just for this species, that fully displays the texture of queens, drones and workers. Thank you my friend!

The room graphic was created by an artist whose profile I unfortunately couldn’t locate. I did not receive permission to use this art, so it might be removed in the future if the artist objects. The artwork is a fanmade Zerg Nest from Starcraft, created by an artist called Harbinger.
Here is a link to the original artwork:

Currently there are no plans to expand this mod.
