It occurs to me that creatures who enter the ecosystems of alien 
planets, especially as "beans," would do well to make use of the DNA of 
native plants and animals to survive and to compete with them. This 
would explain the apparent mixed human-nonhuman geno/phenotype as well 
as fitting the chaotic, cancer-like growth of the monsters.

And it would provide a corporeal counterpart to the mental/spiritual 
imitative cannibalism of inhumi and alzabos.
