Perfect

The gamma moth is a high tier insect that appears deep underground. It has a unique weapon called the mutating gaze that causes the Mutating effect.

Mutating Gaze

Main article: Mutating gaze

The mutating gaze has a unique property of mutating any creature that is hit by this gaze. Each successful attack has a 20% chance to inflict Mutating with a toughness save with difficulty 20. If the save fails, the creature will begin mutating. The projectile does not need to penetrate to mutate. The mutating gaze is EMP Sensitive, so anything that causes EMP can prevent any mutating attacks.

Mutating Result

Main article: Mutating

Mutating has an incubation period of 100 player turns. Once these 100 turns are up, there is a chance of either gaining a new mutation, defect, or mutation points.

Effect Chance
Mutation 10%
Defect 80%
1d41-4 (Avg: 2.5) mutation points 10%
from population MutatingResults in PopulationTables.xml.

These results do not check if the player is a Chimera, Esper, or True Kin, so true kin are able to gain mutations, defects, and mutation points. True kin can gain mutation points, but it can only be spent on a mutation not granted through cooking or items. Currently, the gamma moth is the only way for true kin to gain levellable mutations.

If the creature has all mutations in a category, such as all defects, landing on that result will have no outcome instead of rerolling. Precognition (via mutation or a true kin using sphynx salt injectors) can reroll the mutating result.

Tips

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.
  • High DV can assist in dodging a gamma moth's missile attacks, but will not completely mitigate them since a critical will guarantee a hit.
