Who is Missing Link?

Not long ago, the Eastern Allies conducted a top-secret atomic test. The force of which was directed mostly underground. But, due to faulty calculations, the explosion caused a severe internal upheaval and molten lava scattered radioactive ore in all directions. Only a few days later, a wandering nomad came upon a half-human, half-bestial form crawling dazedly out of a fissure on the northern edge of the test area. The unfortunate nomad died a few days later of radiation exposure. Meanwhile, a team of military scientists were sent out to capture the brute, which apparently had survived in suspended animation for countless ages, to be revived by the blast. Soon, subjected to a series of tests, the semi-human creature began to change in appearance, to the amazement of the scientists. The apelike hair which covered his body fell out and weird crystals appeared on him.
