Exo Mutation

**Exo Mutations** provide the player with a primary ability. Most Exo Mutations offer a direct combat ability, but some provide a spatial or support ability (or a combination thereof). Generally speaking, Exo Mutations that transform the same body part are mutually exclusive; the player cannot possess Exobrain and Wind Bag at the same time, nor can they possess Dungeoness Crab and Beast Mode.

## List of Exo Mutations

Every Exo Mutation can be found described below, as they appear ordered in the Tome of the Ancients. Their upgrades can be found on each corresponding page.

* **Armarang** - "Your arm bone is stiff, aerodynamic, and razor sharp. Hurl it to slice through enemies, and watch it come back to reattach to your shoulder. If it doesn't come back? No biggie. You can grow a new one."

* **Teenybopper** - "Your arm has mutated into an irate creature with his own arms. If you guys can get along, you will do massive damage together."

* **Wind Bag** - "Your scalp skin has elasticized and developed blowholes. Fill your bladder crown with air to gain floatier jumps, or release a blast of air to push mutant and objects away from you."

* **Chronobellum** - "They say most people only use 10% of their brain. Now that you have a second hindbrain hanging off the back of you, 10% is still like 50% more than normal people. You can do quantum crap now, like slowing down time."
* **Dungeoness Crab** - "Your crustaceous legs are made for skittering and digging. Use them to quickly hide underground to avoid danger, then burst out to damage your enemies' nether regions."
* **Death Roe** - "Spawn eggs from your newly formed cloaca. Your hatchlings will instinctively want to follow and protect mommy. Your body can birth only so many babies at a time, and will begin producing explosive eggs if you push it."
* **Exobrain** - "Your brain embiggens until it bursts through the top of your skull. Your psychic capacity is bonkers now. Recruit weak minded mutants to join your side by pelting them with mind bullets."
* **Firearm** - "You might have noticed that your arm is ON FIRE. Don't panic. It's a good thing. You can hurl fire at your enemies now."
* **Gnarly** - "Time to branch out. Grow roots from your trunks to entangle a mutant, taking them out of the fight."
* **Beast Mode** - "Check out those burly haunches! You are basically a centaur now, so do as a centaur would. Plow through your enemies with your superior sturdiness, and gracefully bound through the air like a gazelle."
* **Cobruh** - "You rolled snake eyes! Strike out at your enemies and sink your toxic fangs into them, then leave them for dead."
* **Suck Face** - "There's a new symbiote on your midriff, and he sucks. You'll get goodies like tapes and keys without having to trouble yourself, or you can shed him to make enemies stay put for a bit."
* **Home Slice** - "This little dude can hang on your back, or plop down to do his thing. He'll shoot at any threats that come near, and his projectiles are just offal."
* **Prickly** - "It looks like it hurts, and it does! But these giant body spikes are super useful for protecting your bod. Enemies will take damage when they strike you, and you can trigger them to poke anyone close for massive damage."
* **Toxic Dump** - "Slough your toxic ooze all over the place to leave puddles to burn your enemies."
* **Warhead** - "The bad news is that your head is on fire, and it has burned all your face meat away. The good news is that your noggin is also a weapon of mass destruction, and it grows back after you launch it."
* **Batty** - "You've got wings! Launch to knock enemies back and escape peril, then flap away or glide to cover more distance."
* **Withering** - "Drop spore clouds from your back pods to slow enemies and projectiles to a crawl. Just watch out, because those clouds are flammable!"
* **Egghead** - "Use your rubberneck to show mutants where they rank in the pecking order."
* **Bummer Arm** - "Your arm is withered, but you can toss some projectiles of amorphous something-or-other short distances. Better than nothing, right?"
* **Bummer Head** - "Use your derpy head to spit loogies practically at your own feet. Maybe enemies will step in it before it dries up? One can hope."
* **Bummer Legs** - "Leave a trail of weak-ass goop that dries up quickly. You are the hero we deserve."
* **Bummer Buddy** - "This frenemy grows out your back to lend a semi-helping hand. He'll shoot at anything he can see with his good eye."
