It's the End of Civilization as we know it. A mutagenic plague followed by a global war fought with disintegration weaponry has left much of the Earth a desert of fine powder and what remains of humanity fragmented into humans, animal-like mutants and bloodthirsty monstrosities with lots of teeth. The surface, still teeming with the mutagenic virus, has become the domain of the dreaded Topsiders; well-organized, technologically advanced, and heavily armed un-mutated humans sworn to exterminate mutations of any kind in order to clear the way for the eventual resurgence of a new, genetically clean humanity. Faced with annihilation, mutants and "impure" humans have retreated into the depths of the planet to form communities and hope to win, or at least survive, what may prove to be mankind's final war. Endtown is the continuing story of one of those communities.

Are we now going to see a genuine catfight?

We knew from Gustine’s tendency to charge that some animal behavior is transferred, but it looks like some biology is as well. The mutants don’t just look like animals, they can be affected by the same things as their phenotypes. The monster mutants try to eat other people; maybe some of animal mutants have tried to eat each other, and had feral minds.

Now I wonder what happened to all the REAL animals. Did they gain human intelligence and become absorbed into society or are they still out there being animals?

Catfight!!! Being a pacifist means that you won’t START a physical altercation. It doesn’t say that you can’t END one. Defense of self and/or others is acceptable to some pacifists.
Hey, Aaron, have Wally get him good!

Saucy1121, my theory is the rats at least were lab animals that were uplifted. If so, then maybe the experiment that made them more human got out of control and made people more animal. Maybe a contagious crossover virus that exchanges compatible genes between its carriers and is airborne, so you don’t have to be near a particular animal to acquire its genes, though it helps. The monsters would be produced when the genes aren’t so compatible, or are HOX genes, given they express in unusual numbers of body parts.

@Pontos: Can you believe I’m just now getting around to looking at that link? That’s an incredible image.. I suppose an Endtown movie would look rather like that!
