If you can imagine a furry humanoid seven feet tall, with the face of an intelligent gorilla and the braincase of a man, you'll have a rough idea of what they looked like -- except for their teeth. The canines would have fitted better in the face of a tiger, and showed at the corners of their wide, thin-lipped mouths, giving them an expression of ferocity.

Another troubling aspect of the Syrian crisis -- the possibility of nonstate actors acquiring chemical weapons -- also received a Tier I ranking.

Fascinating description! It's intriguing to visualize such a unique humanoid species with a blend of gorilla-like features and tiger-like teeth. Evolutionary characteristics can truly create diverse and fascinating beings in our imaginations.
