Editing Mutant (section)

==Fallout==
In [[Fallout]], mutants are all over the place, both humans and animals. Fallout mutants are often associated with radiation, but the truth is that they are actually a result of infection from the bio-weapon known as the Forced Evolutionary Virus (F.E.V. for short), which escaped during World War III and interacted with the radiation to create the various monstrosities. The most iconic mutants in the Fallout series are the Ghouls, the Super Mutants, mutated animals, and the Centaurs, although there are others, such as Swamp Folk and Dwarves.

Ghouls are humans who were exposed to both intense radiation and to F.E.V., which left them with burned, decayed, corpse-like bodies but biological immortality; the first ghouls were created during World War III, and have been around ever since. However, an increasing number of them are losing their minds and becoming mindless predators, "Feral Ghouls", and for this reason there is a lot of prejudice against Ghouls. The vast majority of the sane Ghouls are actually some of the nicest people in the games, though a fair minority have a grudge against the "smoothskins" for treating them like shit.

Super Mutants are humans who were exposed to pure F.E.V and so responded "well" to F.E.V. The result are [[Orcs|hulking green humanoids, dramatically stronger and tougher than humans and biologically immortal, but also savage, violent, crazy, dim, and sterile monsters]]. If the subject/victim is uncontaminated by radiation or earlier F.E.V. exposure Super Mutants with superior intelligence are created instead and they can be quite civilized, even nice, because F.E.V. was first designed as a super serum. There's also the Nightkin, [[Ork Kommando|blue-skinned and sneaky offshoots]] who've all turned into schizophrenic blue super mutants from overusing invisibility tech; which is also what makes them sneaky despite being the same size as normal Super Mutants.

Many animals exposed to radiation contamination and the F.E.V. virus have mutated into larger, stronger versions of what they once were. Many insects have grown to huge sizes, such as football sized flies called Bloatflies, massive scorpions the size of a cow, huge mosquitoes bigger than a dog, and ants big enough to pose a threat to even armed humans.

Centaurs are pretty much what happens when anyone with severe genetic damage is exposed to F.E.V.: a mindless crawling mess of meat, kind of like a [[Chaos Spawn]]. '''Oh GOD BHHUBLUBBBBBBB'''.

The player can become a mutant in Fallout 2 if he/she walks around for a bit in radioactive waste without proper foot protection (rubber boots). It's a sixth toe which can be amputated and then [[What|fed to people or eaten]].
