Any creature can become a victim of a mutation, whether it was affected by radiation or unnatural and potent magic fields, and the changes they endure may very well enhance them as much as it can make them nearly useless compared to before.
These unfortunate individuals come in many sizes, and where some had their bodies grotesquely morphed, others gained supernatural abilities while their appearance remains the same for the most part, to the point you couldn’t tell they were affected.
Whether by an unseen witness or by displaying their abilities in public, their actions speak louder than words, and everything they do brings both notoriety and fame, and their names become well known, names like Cloak, Ash, Cobalt, Vyolet, and Enigma.

Bugs
This poor wretched soul used to be a human but after the contamination, his skin turned into clusters of festering blobs of bugs, various insects, and tiny animals alike, which quickly made him a creature not to be around. Unluckily for everyone, including himself, he didn’t feel the need for food, although prolonged hunger made his body deteriorate even more.
- Fluke
- Wink
- Skins
- Needle
- Slime
Smokey
He looks like an ordinary human until he speaks, for that is when the smoke comes out of his mouth, regardless of what’s being said, what kind of weather they are in, or anything else for that matter. This has proved to be a really painful way of living, and he’s starting to feel there’s no other choice but try any experimental cure he can get his hands on.
- Patch
- Blob
- Zero
- Cloud
Feathers
Having been affected by what seemed to be a high dosage of radiation coming from the unknown object, he can barely remember what it was like before. Now, with his whole body covered in feathers, he’s been trying to get accustomed to this new reality, but the obstacles are proving to be far harder than one might expect.

- Skit
- Skitters

- Toots
- Faith
- Nemo
- Woe
- Mendy
- Joy
- Boxey
- Wish
Box
How this bear got morphed into what could only be described as a living box remains a mystery. Still being able to roar and move, albeit by slowly sliding its body, this strange creature continues to terrify other forest animals and inhabitants alike as it makes its way in no particular direction.
- Vipra
- Tootsey
- Twinkle
- Cascade
- Slimey
Fortune
She drank for the same river, yet was the only one who lived. While the others died a gruesome death, she survived the effects although at a great cost. The reflection in the water made her aware of her own despicable nature, something that she could never set her eyes upon again as it was too painful to see.
- Aurora
- Vyolet
- Blossom
- Oddity
Silence
Without having to utter a word, she can communicate by telepathic means, and even leave a vivid picture in one’s mind by describing what she has seen. This extraordinary ability allows her to speak to others without them knowing where she is, a talent that truly comes in handy.
- Flower
- Ghost
- Pepper
- Grace
- Dragonfly
Male Mutant Names
Regardless of who they were before, the mutation made them aware of their new traits, both good and bad, and that also means they no longer need to abide by the previous rules and hierarchy they were a part of, and this provides new undiscovered opportunities.
- Spikes
- Piggy
- Inn
- Magma
- Toad
- Oaf
- Naughty
- Rogue
Hermit
He’s been gone for so long that no one really remembers how he looks, before and after the mutation. Everybody knows he’s still alive as he keeps leaving the same type of things at the same place, deep in the woods, yet no one has managed to find him ever again.
- Wings
- Muzzle
- Tinder
- Ooze
- Ion
Elsewhere
Despite knowing it was the disease that affected his brain to the point he always feels he needs to be somewhere else, people can’t stop asking him for help, to which he always says that he is here now but can’t help as he’s needed elsewhere.
- Puzzle
- Hive
- Hijack
- Sprite
Skeleton
How he stayed alive is something even he wonders himself, as in his eyes he looks like a skeleton, yet when others see him he hasn’t changed at all. This remains the greatest mystery in his life, one that he’s determined to solve even if it’s the last thing he ever does.
- Bullet
- Feather
- Imp
- Cinders
- Penance
A mutant can be a rather wide term, where we usually mean a certain creature that has been exposed to high amounts of radiation, a strange forcefield, or some alien energy source. Whatever the cause might have been, whatever the creature was before no longer exists. Now, after exposure to such horror, the creature and its abilities could very well all be changed, to the point nothing like it was ever seen or heard of before.
Think about what the character is and what species do they belong to, how, when, and where did they get exposed, what caused the mutation, how did they change, and create a name worthy of this completely new and unheard being that is about to be introduced to the world ahead.
