Well…. This is going to be interesting.

As it turns out, there are new mutation options… crazy ones. Holy moly. What’s this all about? Have I ascended to a new stage and at tier seven, you get funky new mutations? Is it the insane level of mana saturation I’ve been living in lately? Is it the Biomass rich diet of more highly evolved monsters?

A combination of all of the above?

Whatever the case, there’s some seriously sweet selections, ripe and ready to be applied to my carapace.

Repelling Carapace - Projects an anti-gravity field around the carapace, pushing foreign objects away.

A literal repellant built into the carapace. It’d be cool, but would likely make it difficult for Crinis to attach herself to me. I don’t think selecting that would be good for my health.

Double Carapace - Thickens the carapace. After multiple selections, this mutation will create a complete second layer of your carapace.

That’s just stupid! Would anything on Pangera be able to get through that?! Not to mention the cost efficiency. This is effectively giving me an entire new carapace without having to spend evolutionary energy on it! That’s just madness!

Trouble is, I’d be way too heavy with that on. My current exo-skeleton weighs tons. I don't mean ‘a lot’, I mean literal tons.

Mana Infused Carapace - Draws in ambient mana to reinforce and thicken the carapace over time.

I wouldn’t even have to do anything and the carapace would just
