Mutes

*For a comprehensive list of Mutes, see Category:Mutes.*

In a post-Great Mutant Outbreak world, mutated, highly intelligent fauna are dubbed **mutes/mutates** (i.e., mutant animals). Replacing humans at the top of the food chain, mutes have since forced most humans to live underground in burrow communities.

## Features

Common mutations may include enhanced powers and abilities, hand dexterity, or extra eyes and appendages. While mutes have varying levels of speech capability and linguistic preference, a mute's silence does not necessarily indicate incomprehension. It is just as likely that certain mutes are either unwilling to speak (as in the case of Charles) or prefer to use their own form of communication (see Dubstep Bees and Mega Monkey). In the midst of a spectrum of mutations, all mutes are far larger than their origin species but retain enough original characteristics to render one type of mute distinguishable from another. Certain types of mutes that are gigantic even by typical mutation standards are dubbed Mega Mutes.

* Mega Slug
* Mega Bunnies (Rabbecka)
* Mega Pigeon (Beak Beak)
* Mega Dogs (Corgi, Bichon, Black Bichon, Rottweiler, 5 Mega Corgi puppies)
* Mega Tortoise
* Mega Chicken
* Mega Walrus
* Mega Crab
* Mega Beaver
* Mega Monkey (Song Oak, formerly)
* Mega Jaguar (Kipo Oak)

## Factions

Since a mutated prey species may no longer prove an easy meal, and a mutated predator, on its own, no match against an outsized Mega Mute, many mutes have banded together to ensure the mutual survival of their particular mute subspecies. These mute factions can be territorial (e.g., Umlaut Snäkes) or nomadic (e.g., Scooter Skunks). While members typically belong to the same mute subspecies, some factions have developed symbiotic relationships with select mute subspecies by offering power and protection in exchange for service, sustenance, or companionship.

* Dubstep Bees
* Mod Frogs
* Timbercats
* Umlaut Snäkes
* Glam Rock Hamsters
* Newton Wolves
* Fitness Raccoons
* Goth Apes
* Scooter Skunks
* Humming Bombers
* Wolf's former pack
* Chevre Sisters
* The TheaOtters
* K-pop Narwhals
* Treasure Squirrels
* Ratland Rats
* Fanny Pachyderms
* Alien Space Bats

## Mega Mute/Human Hybrids

Through scientific experimentation, Mega Mute DNA can be combined with human DNA to create Hybrids, granting them special abilities. Hybrids are capable of shifting between human and enormous Mega Mute forms. Hybrids can also transform specific parts of their bodies, allowing them to use their Mega Mute forms powers. However, Hybrids will only have full control over said abilities if they have what is called an "Anchor" which is something that reminds them of their true selves. Should a Mega Mute/Human Hybrid not have an "Anchor", they run the risk of losing themselves to their Mega Mute forms and remaining as them forever.

* Song Oak (Mega Monkey, formerly)
* Dr. Emilia (Mega Walrus, formerly)
