Mutations
Welcome to the Mutations page!
Mutations are an odd set of ferroii that are typically associated with negative side affects and a connection to various anomalies. Not much is known about them or why exactly they occur, making them a popular topic of research.
These ferroii can be applied to both Lavalings and Astrolytes freely. Please keep in mind that they are intended to be rare occurrences!
Tier 1
Tier 1 mutations are ones with minimal effects.
Fisheye
Description: Lytes with this mutation's eyes bulge out of their head, similar to a goldfish. One or both eyes can be affected.
Effects: Blurry vision, decreased depth perception, light sensitivity.
Linked To: ???
Dual Mouths
Description: Lytes with this mutation are born with two jaws placed on top of one another.
Effects: Difficulty eating and speaking, occasional breathing issues.
Linked To: Mimole
Glassware
Description: Lytes with this mutation are born with sections of transparent skin that reveal their inner organs and bones. It is often on the underside of the lyte, but can take up the entire body in some cases.
Effects: Transparent sections are often weaker or more sensitive. Color and marking ferroii have little to no effect on transparent sections.

Tier 2
Tier 2 mutations are ones with notable side effects.
Cyclops
Description: Lytes with this mutation have one large eye in the center of their head.
Effects: Blurry vision, limited depth perception, weak peripheral vision, light sensitivity.
Linked To: Kylopsis
Fused Limbs
Description: Lytes with this mutation have both of their front and/or back legs fused together in some fashion, often resulting in a single large limb.
Effects: Difficulty with locomotion and balance.
Linked To: ???
Thick Glass
Description: Lytes with this mutation are born with a much thicker glass shell around their lavalamps than normal. Their lamps are usually cold to the touch.
Effects: Internal overheating, prone to illness, magic difficulties.
Linked To: ???
Misplaced Jaw
Description: Lytes with this mutation have no proper lower jaw and instead have one growing from their forehead.
Effects: Difficulty eating and speaking, occasional headaches, excess tooth growth.
Linked To: ???
Eyeless
Description: Lytes with this mutation lack any sort of eye. At a skeletal level, eye sockets have fused with the rest of their skull, preventing actual eyes from forming.
Effects: Inability to see or perceive anything visual, stronger sense of touch, taste, smell, and hearing. Tends to require assistance in early life.
Linked To: Mimole
Mouthless
Description: Lytes with this mutation lack an outer mouth. At a skeletal level, their lower jaw bone has fused with the rest of their skull, preventing an actual mouth from forming.
Effects: Difficulty breathing, unable to speak verbally. Requires more specialized methods of eating and drinking.
Linked To: ???
Polymelia
Description: Lytes with this mutation begin to grow vestigial limbs around their body of varying sizes.
Effects: Difficulty with locomotion, low energy. Certain effects may vary depending on where the extra legs grow.
Linked To: ???
Tier 3
Tier 3 mutations are ones with severe side effects.
Living Lava
Description: Lytes with this mutation have a parasitic creature resembling and residing within one or more of their lavalamps. It often hits against the glass and uses up the host's energy.
Effects: Decreased energy, general weakness, headaches, greater risk of illness. Requires regular medical attention. Unable to practice magic. Miscarriage during breeding becomes a possibility.
Linked To: ???
Half Lamp
Description: Lytes with this mutation have one half of their body completely covered with a large lavalamp placement.
Effects: Difficulty with locomotion, difficulty eating and speaking, breathing and hearing issues, no depth perception, overheating, prone to illness. Requires frequent medical attention. Unable to practice magic. Miscarriage during breeding becomes a possibility.
Linked To: ???
Polycephaly
Description: Lytes with this mutation have more than one head placed next to one another, often with merged faces and occasionally different minds. The most severe case of this mutation featured 3 separate heads.
Effects: Decreased energy, confusion and dizziness, difficulty concentrating. Occasional difficulty with speaking, sight, etc. if related features are merged. Difficulty practicing magic. Thoughts are shared between hosts, if separate hosts are present.
Linked To: ???
Drained Lamps
Description: Lytes with this mutation’s lavalamps are only partially filled. Occasionally occurs after a lavalamp placement has been cracked.
Effects: Decreased energy, general weakness, prone to illness, chance of hypothermia. Requires frequent medical attention. Unable to practice magic. Miscarriage during breeding becomes a possibility.
