Description

This dissertation consists in the creation of a possible anatomy for six humanoid creatures that belong to the fantasy universe. These creatures were chosen from different movies and videogames, all of them relatively recent and with fantasy and/or science-fiction elements. For the creation of this hypothetical anatomy, various anatomy studies were done consisting in the analysis of the skeleton, muscular system, tegumentary system, the particularities of the head and other important morphology details, if necessary for better understanding. All of these studies have as basis the comparison with the human anatomy. This is shown through text accompanied by captioned illustrations and supporting drawings if deemed useful. The creatures analyzed in this dissertation are the Pale Man from the movie Pan’s Labyrinth of 2006, an extremely thin character with eyes on the palms of his hands; Hybrid from the videogame series Resistance: The Fall of Man, that saw its first game released in 2006, a greenish character with six eyes; the Banshee from the videogame Mass Effect 3 of 2012, a simultaneously organic and synthetic creature; Green Martian from the movie John Carter of 2012, a tall creature with four arms; The Lizard from the movie The Amazing Spider-Man of 2012, a character with certain similarities to a giant lizard and Yoda, a character with short stature and big ears, who stars on the movies of the Star Wars saga, having appeared for the first time on the second movie Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back of 1980
