236 Mutations

Spider - Man Mutant
Warhammer: Slaves of Darkness

Want to make an old monster seem like new?  Add a mutation or random chaotic feature!

It's an old trick and built into many rule systems which feature a Law vs Chaos alignment system.

I was working up an new Beastiary entry and wanted to call out that a certain percentage of the creatures had random mutations.  Usually I'll find a chaotic feature or random mutation table and roll on it, but this time I decided that I would put them all together.  That was a number of hours at the computer over Christmas.  I may have been a little too ambitious on this one.

But here's a list of random mutations inspired by lists in RuneQuest, Warhammer and Metamorphosis Alpha.
