gamma moth
Vast diaphanous wings painted in the furcate patterns of fractalized geometry bat the air.
A gamma moth is a high-tier insect that generally appears deep underground. Its unique mutating gaze attack can cause creatures to gain random mutations (usually defects) or mutation points.
Mutating Gaze
A creature struck by a mutating gaze attack, whether or not the attack penetrates their armor, must succeed at a Toughness save with a target of 20, or else gain the mutating effect.[1] The effect is not applied if the creature is already mutating from a mutating gaze.[2]
Mutating gazes are EMP-sensitive. They will be unable to fire if EMP'd.
Mutating Effect
Mutating has an incubation period of 100 game turns. Halfway through this duration, the mutating creature's mutation buys are permuted.[3] At the end, one of the following effects happens:[3][4]
| Chance | Effect |
|---|---|
| 10% | The creature gains a random positive mutation. |
| 80% | The creature gains a random defect. |
| 10% | The creature gains 1d41-4 (Avg: 2.5) mutation points. |
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.

- The best way to avoid being mutated by a gamma moth is to have high Toughness, high DV, or preferably both.
- It's possible to gain positive mutations from a gamma moth, but it's less common than gaining defects. To avoid undesireable results, use a source of Precognition, such as a
sphynx salt injector if you are playing a True Kin.
