Berserker is female Muton

[DeathYoda]

This is just how I personaly view it but I think the Berserker is just the female of the Muton race, I just came to this idea after how similar they were in Xcom 1.

What does everyone alse think?

Well in XCOM:EU/EW the Berserker was a Muton as stated in the autopsy and as the X2 Berserker is female I'd say it's reasonable to assume it is a female Muton. But it could be another branch of Muton just as the Floaters where 'failed' Mutons, the new Berserker could be an evolved Berserker making it a sub-specie of the Muton.

True, but that could be a form of sexual dimorphism, were the female could have a significantly differant form, like with spiders or angler fish

It could be but I doubt it would be like that if not for the Ethereals as we could see how similar the Muton and Muton Berserker were in EU/EW, but with no confirmation about whether that too was a female I'd say the Ethereals modified either the female part of them or just a portion of the Mutons to make a new sub-specie.

I really hope there are some lore or just small bits of random information about the aliens, I like those kinds of things and it makes it feel more real and alive.

All muttons are female btw, so were thin men, it's just your preconceptions of gender that made you think they were male

Source for that? I cannot see why Jake would explicitly state the Berserker is female if all Mutons are.

I agree, can't find anythin about all Mutons being female, however I know that the Berserker is stated to be the same one from Xcom:EU.

The Beserker (with an S thankyou) is clearly a woman yes. It's an angry and irrational force that cannot be stopped once it gets going. ;)

Don't worry about it. After all, there is a typo in the correction ;)

Let's avoid cheap gender stereotypes and slurs, folks.

Berserkers are female Mutons, yes. The alien overlords basically found a way to harness menstral rage, along with shoving a bunch more DNA into them, to make them what they are now. That is something that one of the devs said.
