{{Flavour|A revolting blob of all kinds of living matter - muscle, gut, nerves, viscera, marrow - piled haphazardly into a single writing mass. This distorted flesh is mutagenic on contact, but without any kind of structural arrangement to its parts, it lacks the coordination to move quickly.

"Doom!<br>He finds that in a sudden scrimmage,<br>And lies, an unsightly lump on the sodden grass...<br>An image that shall take long to pass!"<br>-Ford Madox Hueffer, "Antwerp". 1915.}}

==Useful Info==
'''Pulsating lumps''' are the unfortunate victims of the [[Cigotuvi's Degeneration]] spell. They are weak and move very slowly, but their melee attacks can [[mutate]] you, making them extremely dangerous. Apart from being created by you, they can also be found in certain [[vault]]s or in [[the Slime Pits]].

==Tips & Tricks==
Most forms of mutation resistance come with at least a small failure rate, so try to kill them at range. Fortunately, their slow speed means even [[naga]]s can [[kite]] them.
