Dr Mutation

**Dr Mutation** or **Doctor C. Mutation** is the main antagonist from Mission 7 to Mission 8 in Assassin of Steve 2. He is a mad scientist known for his experiments with slime and robotics, and is additionally the carrier of the third Pink Jewel, given to him by King Parcore to protect the Squiggly Replic. He wears orange stained glass on his head, with full white leather armor for the rest.

## Biography

It is not known where Dr. Mutation was born, or his age. He lives in his secret Underground Lab, overseeing experiments undertaken utilising slime and robotics. His assistant Dise Eeze operates out of the surface labs, working on other experiments such as poison clay.

Dr. Mutation's experiments with slimes created the Mutated Slime Zombie, followed by the Enderslime, then the Dripsludge and finally the Slime Tower.

At some point he was given a Pink Jewel by King Parcore and told to protect it with his life. Deciding that experimenting on it didn't clash with 'protecting it', he discovered it can function as an 'incredibly powerful and seemingly infinite renewable power source.' To celebrate this discovery, he invited his whole staff to a movie night, where the movie (which was about giant robots battling each other) gave him an idea to create his own giant robot, using the Pink Jewel as its power source, which would ultimately lead to the construction of Mutatron.

In Assassin of Steve 2, the player hunts him down, first killing Dise Eeze in Mission 7. After he invites the player into his Slime Caves, they eventually make their way to Dr. Mutation's Underground Lab, where the player destroys all of his slime creations, followed by destroying Mutatron with the assistance of Chipnone's shrinking and growing spells. After this, Dr. Mutation surrenders and gives up his pink jewel.

## Characterisation

Dr Mutation appears evil at heart, experimenting on slimes and other dangerous substances seemingly for his own personal gain, additionally with little regard for the safety of his workers, not caring if they get mutated or slimed or whatever. He also displays a rather 'evil' personality in Applications of the Pink Jewel when writing about his idea to create Mutatron. At the same time, King Parcore still trusted him with one of the Pink Jewels, hinting there may be more to his character than what appears, and additionally it is not known what his true motives behind all his actions are.
