====== Humans ======

===== General Description =====

Humans are composed mostly of [[meat]]((There's no doubt about it. We probed and everything. All the way through. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tScAyNaRdQ|They're made out of meat]].))  While this may seem obvious, it is an important fact to point out.  No matter how much fancy armour a Human wears, he or she((Human sexes typically divide neatly into 'he' and 'she' categories.)) remains red and squishy on the inside.  Some Humans forget this at their own risk.

This population makes up the majority of the less experienced contestants, who are still new to the [[Improbable Island|Island]] and have not become infused with enough [[improbability]] yet to have transmuted into another type.((Such as a [[Kittymorph]] or a [[Mutant]].))  Based in [[NewHome]], Humans can be seen running amuck throughout the Island, yapping away with their shrill human voices in public places, swatting monsters in the [[jungle]] with their pointy metal sticks, and generally causing more [[chaos]] than they are worth.  But, they are the [[Improbability Drive]]'s favorite source of food, especially while still [[newbie|new]] to the Island, and the other populations tolerate Humans in part because otherwise the Drive would starve((This is sometimes seen as being a bad thing.  A hungry Drive is a very dangerous Drive.  Very, very dangerous indeed.)) and also the other populations would die out.((This is an even worse outcome.  Since Humans transform into members of the other populations in the presence of improbability, no Humans would mean no more future [[Jokers]] or [[Squat|Squats]].))  Likewise, the Island's most famous resident, [[the Watcher]] is a Human woman, which probably explains her lingering fascination with this unruly tribe.

===== Skills and Tactics =====

Physically, Humans have few natural advantages.  Their bodies offer average damage resistance and only average strength levels.  They are, however, sometimes intelligent(([[Rumor]] says the [[scientists]] in [[Improbable Central]] are mostly Humans, though they have enough non-Humans in their ranks to give their inventions a certain twisted improbability.)), resourceful, energetic((As a result, Humans tend to have more endurance for [[jungle]] fights than other populations and can travel moderate distances without needing a [[mount]].)), and often highly motivated.  They are often armed with [[grenades]] to compensate for their relative lack of physical power or natural advantage. Overall, Humans are the most average of all races. The only thing that sets them apart are their free goodies, handed out by [[the Council Offices]] in their hometown. 

===== Other Characteristics =====

Civilization on the Island, however modified by the influence of improbability, originated from the Human world outside and still reflects many of its rules and social conventions.  Therefore, the events on the Island are still intelligible to the normal Human population in the world outside the improbability containment zone around the Island, a population that sees the events on the Island as a [[reality TV]] programme.

Whether the Human population will be successful in destroying the Drive once and for all, remains to be seen.  But then, the Island is the site of the world's largest reality TV show.
