A pair of massive, curling horns. They can deliver devastating gore attacks to enemies.

Perfect

When the player selects the Horns mutation, they can also Customize it by pressing "C" during character creation to select the variant of horns they would like. The options are: Horns, Horn, Antlers, or Casque. Mechanically, these variants are identical to each other.

The player can select their horn-bearing head as their primary weapon from the equipment screen in order to always attack with their horns as their default weapon. Otherwise, there is only a 20% chance to attack with the horns to when making an attack with any other primary weapon.

When a creature with Horns uses Charge, the chance to attack with horns will be 100% with the bonus penetration from charging.
