Beak is a mutation that grants the "beak" natural body equipment which 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 or ○DV. When the player selects the Beak mutation, they can also Customize 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.

Some facial appendages are so sightly, scattering light like the prismatic loam or curving toward geometric bliss. But there are many others.
