'''Beak''' is a mutation that grants one of the following natural equipment variants on the character's face:
* {{favilink id|Beak}}
* {{favilink id|Beak Bill}}
* {{favilink id|Beak Rostrum}}
* {{favilink id|Beak Frill}}
* {{favilink id|Beak Proboscis}}
 
The natural body equipment will be seen if nothing is equipped in the Face body slot (similar to how an empty hand has a "fist"). This beak is weightless and provides no {{AV}}AV or {{DV}}DV. When the player selects the Beak mutation, they can also {{Qud text|&WC&yustomize}} it by pressing "C" during character creation to select the variant of beak they would like. The options are: Beak, Bill, Rostrum, Frill, or Proboscis. Mechanically, these variants are identical to each other, but they will alter the name of the natural body equipment in the face slot.
 
The beak functions as a {{PV}}4 {{Heart}}{{Dice tooltip|1}} natural weapon with a 20% chance of being used as an extra weapon when performing a melee attack, but can only be used this way if the face with the beak is not occupied by equipment. Growing extra faces through mutations such as {{favilink|Two-Headed}} or {{favilink|Chimera}} will not result in extra beaks.

==Trivia ==
This mutation used to be a -1 point physical defect that decreased ego by 1 and took up a face slot. The description was "Your face bears an unsightly beak." Once the mutation was reworked to be positive instead, the beak description was modified to be "sightly".
