gamma moth

Vast diaphanous wings painted in the furcate patterns of fractalized geometry bat the air.

Perfect

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. The effect is not applied if the creature is already mutating from a mutating gaze.

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. At the end, one of the following effects happens:

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.

Tips

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.

• 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.
