That could be made believable if, for instance, it sounded as if it was based on real biological research into the animals you mention, and if it was a reasonably slow process that required them to eat enough food to build up their body mass.
Yes, the Gadrin (The species) evolved from animals that could regenerate. Through genetic tinkering, they made it a little faster, but it's not like the movie monsters that regrow lost parts in five minutes. Regrowing a whole arm takes weeks or months for Gadrins, the equivalent of skin wounds and broken bones take less time.
