The Flukeman originated on a decommissioned Russian freighter that was used in the disposal of salvage material from the nuclear meltdown at Chernobyl. The creature was thus born in a primordial soup of radioactive sewage. After a series of killings, aboard the ship and in New Jersey once the creature had been flushed out to sea, FBI agents Mulder and Scullywere assigned to the case. Agent Mulder eventually tracked it to a sewage drainpipe leading back out to the Atlantic, but managed to finally close a rusty gate, severing the being in half. The Flukeman wailed a long, high-pitched scream and the lower portion of its body, including its legs, was left floating in the slightly bloodied sewage water inside the vault. At night soon thereafter, the top section of the Flukeman's body awakened while floating in the sewage of Newark.

Later reports had the creature washing ashore, its legs regrown, near Martha’s Vineyard, whereupon the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Development was brought in to ascertain the creature’s true nature and danger. Due to the creature’s ability to take on the genetics of others around it; assumed to be a latent mutant power of whichever Russian sailor donated the creature’s original portion of Human DNA, continual and reinforced contact with the humans and non-human sentients in the BPRD have allowed it to mentally develop well beyond its original animal psychology. Once it began to speak, it was given the name of ‘Frank’ by Hellboy. While still a junior member with much to prove towards its effectiveness in the field and trustworthiness, there have been no major incidents to tarnish Agent ‘Franke’ Fluke’s work with the BPRD.





Flukie here is a RoC Deep Six with the head and arms of TCW Embo, I think was his name-o.

He needs an alternate open mouth head. Otherwise I like what you've done here.

When I first started to read the back story I couldn't help but think "this sounds an X-file. Then I read on and there you go. Nice tie in on th eback story. You could probably flesh out a couple other X-files to add the the group. Great work on the part selections

Thanks, gents. I wish I could find an open-mouth head for him, but I say they make him use the rebreather mask for fear that Roger would get aroused, or something.

Such a cool concept with excellent execution. Absolutely love the write-up for Frank and feel that it really helps make the piece for me-- he fits in perfectly with the BPRD universe and aesthetic, all while incorporating the X-Files universe. What's not to dig?

Way to bring back a character I haven't given a moment's thought in about 15 years!

I agree with pluv on the open mouth alter-noggin. You've got to make that happen somehow.

He was one of the most iconic X-Files creatures, one I wish they'd brought back.

Awesome concept, but I would love to see the sucker face too.

if you have a second of this head, it wouldn't necessarily be an impossible sculpt job to mod one.

nice work overall as usual.

Forget sculpting. Just find a pointed metal poker (nail, knitting needle, shishkabob stick, hole punch), heat that sucker up and push into the plastic. The plastic will melt around it forming an O shape.
