}}'''Burrowing Claws''' is a physical mutation that replaces the player's natural fists with {{favilink page|Data:Claw (Burrowing Claws)|plural}} that are classified as [[Short Blade]] natural weapons, with different properties depending on if the player's target is a structural object or not. | }}'''Burrowing Claws''' is a physical mutation that replaces the player's natural fists with {{favilink page|Data:Claw (Burrowing Claws)|plural}} that are classified as [[Short Blade]] natural weapons, with different properties depending on if the player's target is a structural object or not. | ||
Burrowing Claws allows a creature to destroy a wall within four attacks that successfully [[Penetration|penetrate]]. The penetration bonus is determined by mutation level and is independent of the {{PV}}PV used against non-structural objects, which is instead determined by the creature's [[Strength]] bonus. If the creature is wielding a weapon in a hand with {{favilink page|Data:Claw (Burrowing Claws)|plural}}, walls can still be broken within four successful attacks, but the {{PV}}PV of the weapon wielded will be used instead. | Burrowing Claws allows a creature to destroy a wall within four attacks that successfully [[Penetration|penetrate]].

Having this mutation grants the player the "Dig" activated ability; this ability is a form of autoact which allows the player to select a tile as a target destination, regardless of distance or visibility. Confirming one's selection will cause the player to move in a straight line to the destination, while automatically attacking and destroying any walls in the way. | Having this mutation grants the player the "Dig" activated ability; this ability is a form of autoact which allows the player to select a tile as a target destination, regardless of distance or visibility.
