	Mutations induce various properties to your character, good or bad. [[Robust]] increases your max HP, [[Frail]] reduces it. Most species' gimmicks are defined by their ~~starting~~ mutations. Some mutations are transient (temporary), and are cured by gaining XP. Otherwise, mutations are permanent - they'll last until you have a way to remove mutations, usually [[potions of mutation]].
