I had a lot of fun coming up with phenotypes in the OGYAFE's alternate world that would look completely unplaceable in our own.

In Conan the Barbarian, Thulsa Doom's appearance bugged me until I watched the commentary and the director said that they were trying to make him look like a member of some race that's no longer around on the earth, and that's why he's a black dude with long straight hair and blue eyes.

Then I thought it was pretty cool.
