There are a dozen other monsters that are human heads or torsos on animal lower bodies. The metagame reason is their combat ability and skills. The fluff reason needs to be more substantial and explain why hybrid beasts like chimeras and owlbears and lamias are not aberrations.I was thinking that perhaps aberrations are composed of protoplasm and various toxic alchemical elements, transmitting their thoughts and impulses through magnetic fluid and orgones... even manifest psionics this way. They have no DNA, no cellular structure, no relation to conventional science, no ability to exist on their own... yet they do.That is what defines an aberration to me. Taking discredited science, pseudoscience, occult science and medieval alchemy as physical truth.</blockquote>
