True, no other animal approaches the cruelty of man.
I know, and treating them as sex objects is just wrong too. They have thoughts and feelings, you know!
Holy smokin’ Toledos… what my eyes have seen…
I wonder how difficult it is to clean and maintain.
Thought. Human skin cells grown on a synthetic scaffold, custom-printed skull and simulated attached soft tissues. Custom made according to the enemy’s photograph (more than one, for accurate 3d skull model; said enemy’s Facebook or other public postings could be leveraged here).
For extra effect, simulate the mimic muscles.
