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.^[1]

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.

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

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

The NPC-only mutation, Dark Vision is similar to Night Vision but with a smaller radius.
