The variety of ways a monster can develop themselves is essentially infinite. The number of known Skill fusions is always growing as more and more variations are explored. Of course, there are standard options, things that have long been known and recognised as strong, but those who are willing to explore and delve for new combinations are often rewarded.

In terms of mutations, the possibilities are again, endless. The number of organs that can be added to a monster is vast, to the point where, after thousands of years, the combined Cults still haven’t explored them all, not even a fraction. How those organs interact and function with each other can have a huge impact on performance as well. And that’s before they become modified with mutations.

Some members of the Cult spend their entire lives exploring a particular niche, one type of monster, one subset of organs, and in this way, they are able to grow our collective knowledge, one step at a time.
