Mutants are altered beings by unnatural factors whether magical or biological origin. They can theorically be found in any plane. The first cards to bear the creature type was Mistform Mutant in Onslaught, though the Goblin Mutant from Ice Age was later issued errata to become a Mutant as well. Mutant appear in all colors. They mainly appeared in Scourge block and Dissension
Grixis Mutants
In the Shard of Alara known as Grixis, uncontrolled magical radiations have mutated some of it's denizens.
Otarian Mutants
The barbarian turned druid, Kamahl, resided in the Otarian forest of Krosa, and it was he who planted the Mirari there thinking that without a wielder the artifact would be harmless. However its power was soaked into the entire continent and the radiation mutated the inhabitants, especially those within the forest, transforming many of the beasts into enormous in fiercer and stronger monsters. This caused the animals of the forest to go mad, wildly attacking anyone that entered the forest and even leaving the forest to attack surrounding farmsteads and villages.
As the Mirari's magic washed across Otaria, many aven became taller and more muscular, with long, razor-like talons jutting from their wings. The most advanced of these mutants lost their arms, regressing into huge sentient raptors.
On the other hand, mutant owl aven, known as crookclaws, also grew larger and sprouted talons from their wings, but retained independent use of their arms (Crookclaw Transmuter). The crookclaws' magical abilities were also enhanced by the Mirari's emanations.
Ravnican Mutants
Biomancers (genetic biologists affiliated with the Simic Combine) were responsible for the mutants of Ravnica in their attempts to improve the life forms of that plane (Master Transmuter). Most members of the Simic Combine even alter themselves purposedly, becoming mutants to enhance their abilities. One such technique uses cytoplast implants which, within the game, is represented with the Graft ability.
Notable Mutants
Trivia
- 12 Mutants appeared in [Legions]], 7 in Scourge, and 13 in Dissension.
- Mutations can be caused by spells like Transmutation, Unstable Mutation, Mutagenic Growth and Fatal Mutation.Template:Races
