The project was focused on combining the dna of manticores and chimeras to create a stronger bio-weapon hybrid that could be used to create an advantage during the war, and a stepping-stone towards the gene manipulation of rare hybrids, however soon after the success of the project, it was deemed obsolete as the war had ended before Sheru could reach an appropriate age. Sheru [MCH-CL1509] was one of many clones, but he was the only one that survived his development with minimal anomalous mutations that were deemed fatal for many attempts prior to him.
