Why couldn't the creature speak, it was nearly human?

That seems like a mistake to me, human enough to love and have sex with men and produce a baby in a human womb but it can't speak? I don't get it, it was nearly fully human.

Humans and animals are capable of mating? Where did you get that idea?

The creature was at least half human, it was not "an animal", it was very much human, it should have been able to talk.

it was able to speak in what we presume was its final stage of developement.

The female dren was just a stepping stone in developement.

In the sense that a pokemon say Pichu( Baby Dren) meets the main requirements it can increase its ability and change into a Pickachu (Toddler Dren) and then when you zap it with a thunderstone it can become a Raichu (female dren)
Now we just add one more step, say a Raichu+ it can become a Male Dren.

I don't think that Dren could necessarily love, although it was obvious that she had a major attraction Clive. I think that as Dren evolved further into the male sex she raped Elsa to get revenge for the mistreatment undergone in addition to the intense hormone changes. Oh yeah, and it did speak at the end there.

[–] gljbradley 12 years ago

Indeed. Though, she did seem like she was capable of having feelings, so she probably could love.

I figure that in a psychological sense, she developed an Oedipal complex after experiencing such mistreatment from Elsa.

Apes are nearly human & they can't talk.

Actually it could speak, i think it was just too young early on, just like human babies cant speak for few years.

The irony of your lack of silence on this matter, is not lost on me.

Chimpanzees share 98.5% of DNA with human beings. From that aspect they too can be considered "nearly fully human" yet look how different they are.

Dren was starting to speak. When she woke up tied to the table she turned to Elsa and whispered "help". Then, when Clive came into the barn after Elsa had hacked her tail off, Dren turned her head to him and whispered "help". And, of course, male Dren tells Elsa what his intentions are, loud and clear.
