Joy mutant

joy mutant is an upgraded miscellaneous item in item asylum, which can be obtained from dying to the withdrawal effects of joy, or from fortnite card.
==Functionality==
This item cannot be gained in the normal item rotation; instead, one must take 3 doses of joy in one life or die from the withdrawal effects of joy in order to get it. This item transforms its user into a Joy Mutant with inhuman proportions, including extended arms, grown and shrunken legs, and many tumor-like growths bulging from their torso. Upon becoming one, the user is given a passive +150 HP boost, a +25% defense boost, and ragdoll immunity.
joy mutant is composed of 2 separate "items", those being mutant combat and scream.
===mutant combat===
mutant combat has the user perform a three-hit combo. The first hit has the user perform an overhead right arm swing that deals 13.5 damage and inflicts a very brief stun, the second hit is a left armed underhanded smack that deals 15 damage, which ragdolls and launches away enemies, and the last hit is an overhead left arm strike that deals 30 damage that ragdolls and launches victims downwards. On both the second and third swings, the user is granted a +6 walkspeed bonus.
mutant combat also has two abilities:
* Bite [E] - This move has the user pull in their head briefly before lunging forward in an attempt to bite the enemy. Upon activation, the user is granted a +12 walkspeed bonus that lasts until the move ends. Normally, the bite deals 15 damage and inflicts bleeding, dealing 40 additional damage after about 6 seconds while ragdolling and launching the victim away at a moderate force. However, if the target is at or below 75 HP, the bite will instead deal 275 damage, decapitating them in an execution move. The damage increase does not consider the user's attack and/or the target's defense modifiers or curse for its fatal chomp threshold. 
* Cough [R] - This move makes the user cough out blood in front of them. Any enemies that are hit are dealt 10 damage, briefly stunned, and have their screens covered in a translucent red haze that lasts for about 5 seconds. Cough will briefly deduct the user's walkspeed by -12 during the attack.
Bite and Cough both have a 4 second cooldown before it can be used again.
===scream===
scream stops the user in place and has them let out an abhorrent cry, affecting enemies within a 30 stud diameter around them. Any enemies within the radius is inflicted with the "+Scared" status, subsequently suffering hitstun for a second and a -35% defense penalty for about 8 seconds. After 8 seconds, the players will no longer become scared, leaving a message behind that says "-Scared" right above their character with their stats returning back to normal. Scream will be put on a 16 second cooldown before gaining another use.
== Tips ==
* If one were to choose mutate into a joy mutant, be on the lookout for any opponents within the area with high-damage items, especially when affected by withdrawal. Stay behind cover and as far away as possible from groups of people.
* One can quickly and easily overpower someone by coughing on them, knocking them down with M1s, then finishing them off with Bite.
* scream is essential for stunning any assailants about to attack, or to close the gap between fleeing opponents.
* As mutant combat is a highly melee-oriented item, it is advised to only go for lone melee-wielding enemies. A lone joy mutant can be overpowered by multiple threats, and it will prove nigh-impossible to hurt someone who is far away and using a ranged item regardless if they are within range of scream.
* If joy mutant is attained through the use of fortnite card, you will still be able to use the items you initially had in your loadout, as opposed to if you attained it through the intended method of joy. This can be greatly used to your advantage, since you will be significantly more versatile than if you had gotten it otherwise.
==Trivia==
*The Joy Mutants originate from a game called LISA: the Painful.
*The moves used in joy mutant are parallels to those commonly used by joy mutants in the games, in particular: Bite (& Fatal Chomp), Blood Cough, and Yell.
**Unlike in the source material, Cough does not damage the user when used.
**The "Scared" status does not lower defense in the source material, instead paralyzing those affected.
*The "scream" item has the same name as the scream which is exclusive to ZS.
*The mutant combat's tooltip is directly referencing joy's tooltip: "blueberry flavored candy. it will turn you into a blueberry".
*If joy mutant is given directly through the Admin Panel or through fortnite card, the torso growths will not match the player's torso color.
*As both mutant combat & scream are considered upgraded items, they cannot be stolen by borrow.
*The your eternal reward does not copy the visual effects of joy mutant upon backstab.
*mutant combat is likely joy mutant but renamed, as its binds and description can be seen if a player obtains joy mutant itself while dead.
*In-game, the item is still named joymutant_controller. This is because it's only renamed in the Admin Panel.
