Mutants anyone?

[welsh]

How about your ideas for mutant monsters? Can we start a threat on that topic?

Yesterday I was poking at the new edition ideas on mutants and flora/fauna. I thought- not enough evil plants.
Today my wife just told me about this plant that causes blisters and blindness. I got to imagine a place where this plant releases spores into the air that causes blisters and blindness- and your group wanders into the region where everyone is blind and blistered.

What are some of your ideas?

We have not had a specific thread on mutants. However, we have discussed them in relation to other topics. However, there is a thread on Blue Undead.

I, for one, am not in favor of mutants. Mutations take a LONG time to evolve. Yes, Man dumped a huge S*** load of radiation, biological and chemical horrors into the eco-sphere.

I refer you to the Chicxulub event that had at least a major role in the demise of the Dinosaur.

It took MILLIONS of years before the mouse and shrew size mammals evolved into larger critters.

Now, could you see a faster bunny? A goose that can fly longer? Maybe.

Not much else IMHO.

I go back and forth on this one. I think some of them are cool and would make a great adventure. Then, other times I think the various human factions are more than enough to challenge the players.

Well what about the Breeders then? I could see there experiments creating a spontaneous mutation that breeds true in subsequent generations.

I thought the Breeders were looking for "untainted" genetic material in order to eliminate the mutations that have encroached into human DNA due to the fallout and biological attacks. I figure anything that had unwanted mutations would be neutralized.

They also experiment and the mistakes are either destroyed or sold off to slavers. It could be possible some of those mistakes may have eventually escaped and bred creating a mutated monsters.
