Mutant

A shark-headed sailor’s teeth slam against the hard carapace of a buccaneer with the claw of a crab, while a halfling assassin with a hooked beak and eagle wings swoops down from the ships rigging, poisoned daggers bearing down.

Mutants are creatures permanently transformed by magic, the gods, or alchemical means into an amalgamation that resembles their original form accentuated with attributes of another creature. Mutants are generally varied, but some mutations prove their resilience and become the root of established races, which some scholars believe to be the root of races like goashen, kitsune, catfolk, gnolls, and lizardfolk.

Fang and Claw

Mutants are humanoids with the bestial features of the creatures they’ve mutated with. Many mutants have features of common beasts, such as tails, feathered skin, scales, or horns. Some mutants resemble monstrosities or magical beasts, though these mutants are less common.

Society’s Outcasts

Because of their abnormal appearance, most mutants are outcasts and hermits, while some find acceptance among changeling communities or even among lycanthropes. Living on the edges of society or in the wilds, they adopt their own rules for survival. As mutants are seldom accepted by “normal” beings, they tend to be secretive and standoffish.

Shadow Dwellers

Mutants congregate in quiet sewers, graveyards, dark woods, and other areas shunned by the general population. These colonies tend to be small, both for the sake of secrecy and because of the small number of mutants. It’s far more common for mutants to live solitary lives, though sometimes they manage to befriend a kind-hearted soul from the world they’ve rejected.

Traits

Mutants are shaped by transformative magic and vary widely. They have the following traits in common.

Ancestral Heritage. You must select one other race, which is the race you were before you underwent your mutation. You gain the Age, Size, and Languages traits from this race. You may also choose one other trait from this race apart from Ability Score Increase or Speed. If you select human as your race, you gain the following trait:

Ability Score Increase. Any two ability scores chosen from Wisdom, Intelligence, or Charisma each increase by 1.

Alignment. Mutants can be of any alignment. Because of their unusual nature, they are often pushed to extremes as a way of finding their way in the world, and so are seldom neutral. Many mutants heroically champion a cause, or turn to darker paths to become the monsters others perceive them to be. Most mutants tend towards chaos, as they are forced to operate outside of societal norms.

Base Mutation. You can select any base mutation below. You gain the Ability Score Increase and Speed traits listed. You may select any two additional traits from the same base mutation. If only one trait is listed other than the Ability Score Increase and Speed trait, you only gain the listed traits. If your size is Small, reduce the listed speed and any additional speed traits by 5 feet. You are proficient with any special attacks your mutation grants you.

Base Mutations

You may select one of the sets below as your base mutation. The process of mutation is fickle, and mutants rarely have all the attributes of the creature they were amalgamated with.

Height and Weight Adjustments

If you’d like to incorporate your base mutation into your character’s random height and weight calculation you can follow this simple method:
