Grendels have 60 less genes
than norns, these mainly to do with reproduction & sociality.
In the table, red genes are
absent from the grendel genome, yellow
ones are merely different.
| GROUP | GENE TYPE |
GENE
DIFFERENCES / ABSENCES |
| Reproduction (grendels are sterile) |
RECEPTORS |
become fertile if oestrogen high receptive to sperm if sex drive involuntary lay egg when progesterone become fertile if testosterone high |
| EMITTERS |
reproductive am fertile, produce oestrogen permanently produce testosterone I am fertile, produce sex drive - male I am fertile, produce sex drive - female when pregnant produce gonadotrophin when pregnant produce progesterone |
|
| REACTIONS |
gonadotrophin removed oestrogen alcohol making females randy adrenaline removes testosterone adrenaline removes oestrogen gonadotrophin breaking down |
|
| INSTINCTS |
when horny, push opposite sex = reward when horny, pull opposite sex = reward |
|
| Sociality (grendels are violent and anti-social) |
STIMULI | when
tickled by creature, get angry not happy 03 00 00 01 02 50 00 FF 04 1C 30 28 10 00 00 00 00 |

| LOBES | Lobes 3 and 7 are different | |
| REACTIONS | alcohol

| HALF-LIVES | different - hunger and vitamin A broken down slower | |
| STIMULI | pose 48 (lay egg pose) | |
| PIGMENTS | HAS NONE - should have 12 |
