Mutations

Mutations the newest mechanic for The Isle! Allows users to customize and change up your gameplay. Though this system won't see its final form until the Elder system is released.

Mutations are chosen as a player progresses through the game. The juvenile stage is when you select your first mutation and then again at sub-adult and adult. The larger hexagons represent your lifecycle chosen mutations. Hexagon 4 is for the Elder System and hexagon 5-6 are unknowns at this time.

You can unlock varieties to your mutations as opposed to the standard ones gained by default. This may require special actions to be taken in-game to be able to unlock them.
The smaller hexagons are gained by inheriting mutations from your parents. Only a few of the smaller hexagons can be filled in and others are reserved for later systems.
Yellow Names = Are mutations with information on how to obtain them in-game. These may change in the future so please be aware.
