Mutants are the freaks of humanity. Twisted by their genes, exposed to Warpstone as dust or in its pure form, altered by sorcerous or alchemical experiments. They are outcasts from civilisation, shunned by all "straights" or no-mutant humans. Some gather into tribes, and make their homes in the deep spider-haunted forests of the Old World, where they scrape an existence from the forest, and raid the occasional farmstead. Occasionally, bands of these mutants are called to the armies of Chaos, by the taint within them, or by their burning hatred of humanity. There they join the warbands of the Beastmen, whom they feel a kinship with, to bring woe on those who shunned them.

Mutants are mostly human-shaped, but in most cases, there the similarity ends. Many have warped or twisted limbs, scaly skin, eyestalks, wings, long tails, or countless other abnormalities. They are all however, strong and tough, for in their harsh environment, only the strong survive, so those that remain are hardened fighters, tough and strong, and burning with hate.

This entry is to be added to the Monstrous Host section of the Realm of Chaos army lists.
