Night Vision

You see in the dark.

Night Vision is a physical mutation that allows a creature to see in the dark for a short radius.

Players with Night Vision essentially have a permanent light source that is active at all times, with a circular radius of 5 tiles.

Having Night Vision allows the player to see Haggabah, Who Plies The Umbral Path.

Advantages & Disadvantages

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

Advantages

  • Frees up a hand slot which would be taken up by a torch or glowsphere in the early game
  • Very low-cost
  • Does not take up an item slot

Disadvantages

  • Provides a poor light radius which cannot be improved
  • Is easily outstripped in terms of light radius by a glowsphere or floating glowsphere, neither of which are restrictively rare
  • Every creature has advanced night vision or sensory abilities well beyond the player's ability to match, negating any stealth advantages that not having a light source may have provided

Related Mutations
