Grand Central Mutants

The Grand Central Mutants are a unique community of Super Mutants that have taken up residence in the historic Grand Central Terminal, one of New York City's most iconic landmarks. Following the devastating Great War, the station's vast and labyrinthine underground became their refuge. These Super Mutants are not the mindless, rampaging brutes commonly associated with their kind; instead, they exhibit a level of intelligence and even restraint that is exceedingly rare among Super Mutants on the East Coast. They've chosen to safeguard the terminal and its legacy, avoiding unwarranted violence.

## **Background**

Grand Central Terminal, a renowned transportation hub before the war, fell into disuse and abandonment due to its association with the pre-war world. Its vast spaces and high ceilings made it an attractive hideout for Super Mutants. The arrival of the Grand Central Mutants in successive waves marks a significant turning point in the station's post-apocalyptic history.

While mutated, the Grand Central Mutants have retained a level of intellect that sets them apart. They value the historical significance of Grand Central Terminal and have chosen to become its guardians. Their aspiration is to live in harmony and peace, even if this goal remains elusive in the hostile Wasteland. The Grand Central Mutants are a testament to the post-apocalyptic world's capacity for transformation, resilience, and the potential for finding unique pockets of civilization in the most unexpected places.

The Grand Central Mutants occasionally engage in skirmishes with the denizens of Murray Hill, a neighborhood in close proximity. These skirmishes often occur due to distrust or provocation. The Grand Central Mutants maintain more peaceful relations with other settlements in the vicinity, such as Kayto.
