## Description & Biology

**Mutant S004** also known as **Mutakin**, looks like a Curcubita Pepo Var. Pepo but with a black and neonish green skin, their insides and seeds are still the same to that of a normal holocene era pumpkin. While they may look "rotten" they are more dangerous than they appear, they can change their appearance to look like a normal Curcubita Pepo Var. Pepo and they give who sees it a sudden hunger for pumpkin, even if the target is full they will still have this urge to eat the pumpkin, and once they do, the target will colapse to the ground, they will start feel weak until they black out (30 Seconds - 1 Minute), once they black out they will start to transform into a humanoid pumpkin monster, who is denominated as **Mutant S004-1** or **The Reaper** (5 Minutes - 10 Minutes to Finish the Transformation).

Outside of that, the **Mutakin** is one of the most important food resources for the H.S.G. due to its seeds and leaves being consumable with no downsides, its seeds are used in the creation of "**Mutakin Seed Oil**", which is used as cooking oil or as sauce for the food, and the leaves are used as vegetables in salads.

The **Mutakins** are also used to make jack o'lanterns which are believed by some to bring goodluck and give immunity to being sensed by **The Reapers**. The **Mutakins** can still be found even when its not october, altough it becomes more hard to find one.

## The Reapers

**The Reapers** are pumpkin-like humanoid mutants, they dont have eyes and their head looks like a Connecticut Field Pumpkin, they are mostly made out of a unknown pumpkin-like material which is very durable, a chimera tooth axe takes a lot of time to be able to do proper damage, with the only exceptions being their arms and feet. They have about 2-8 arms that are made out of a wood-like material and their hands have a scythe shape and are made of a very sharp iron-like unknown material, and their legs are made out of a wood-like material.

They don't exactly see; they can sense what is around them, they kill everything that they can sense, except for Pumpkin Slugs and Slug Shrooms, if they sense a dead Pumpkin Slug, they will go to its location and then bury it with a  **Mutakin Seed** which later will grow into 5 Pumpkin Slugs.

The Reapers have also been discovered to hate Hallomoths and Angelic Moths, once they sense one they will stop what they are doing and go kill it, they also have been shown to be unnafected if tried to be controled by Angelic Moths, once they kill something they will "vomit" **Mutakin Seeds** all over whom they killed and those seeds will later become more **Mutakins**.

The Reapers are unaffected by the following: poisoning, being on fire, melting, freezing, electric shock of any amount of power, basically all non axe-like tools, mental hazards.

## The Reaper's Relationship with Other Plant Like Beings

Chimera Trees - Friendly, will "vomit" **Mutakin Seeds** close to them to prevent Sentient Moss from controling it.

Sentient Moss - Agressive, will try to get the moss to touch it making the moss die to unknown chemicals inside **The Reapers** body.

Tanglers - Neutral, they do not attack unless atacked first.

Malagasy Bottle Trees - Neutral, they ignore them.

## Note from Nathan Xrnande

**I never really liked pumpkins but these guys are life savers! Even though The Reapers can cause a lot of damage, the Mutakins are basically free food, as long as you dont eat their meat you should be fine, they are even one of our most traded resources!**
