* CallOfTheWildBlueYonder: Avian chimeras can't fly - humanoid bodies are too heavy for that - but that doesn't stop them from trying. It's mentioned in ''E!2150'' that some of them have been slowly modifying their genetics, generation by generation, in hopes that their descendants will one day be able to fly. We don't yet know whether or not they've succeeded by 2585.

* TakeAThirdOption: How the Xerda happened. The [[EvilLuddite Emirate of Nejd]] eventually realized their rejection of modernity wasn't sustainable, so rather than staying the course or abandoning it, they decided the best way to properly live "in harmony with God's creation" was to biomod themselves to better suit their Arabian Desert home.

!!Radiomorphs
Humans gene-edited for high-radiation environments.
* AlienBlood: Their blood is black.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Radiomorphs, at least the ones from Io, have black skin - not African black, ''jet'' black. Apparently it helps with radiation shielding. The sclerae of their eyes are also black.
