| This slick floor seems to pulse to an unknown beat. |
Cigotuvi has mastered the art of manipulating flesh, and his lab is a living testament to this fact, seeming like the interior of some vast, ghastly beast. The walls and floor are slick and membranous, pulsing to an unheard heartbeat and oozing thick, green ichor from every inch.
The bulk of Cigotuvi's Fleshworks is devoted to cells that house test subjects in various stages of degeneration. Several are mutated humanoids; most are ugly things, shapeshifters, and abominations. While the walls of the Fleshworks are as hard as stone, the fleshy membranes that allow you to see into the cells are merely as tough as rock and can easily be dug through.
The entrance hall consists of several short rooms with cells on either side containing abominations, deformed humanoids and some ugly things. After that lies a central, circular chamber that houses Cigotuvi's flesh golem.
One side of the lab is dominated by a snaking passageway filled with shapeshifters in various guises. Several of them are likely to start off in the forms of various varieties of eyeball. There are also a few true floating eyes interspersed among the shapeshifters that are particularly hazardous. The final room on that side holds a pack of ugly/very ugly things that guard a portion of the lab's treasure.
The other side of the lab contains more cells holding test subjects as well as some abominations. There are three rooms of note on this side: one holds four large abominations, one holds more treasure, and the last contains yet more treasure guarded by several more large abominations and the terrible "Cigotuvi's Monster", a 250 HP mutant beast whose glyph changes color over time.
Beware: several rooms contain mutagenic fog, which will gradually contaminate you if you stand in it; you have a good chance of being mutated if you aren't careful about where you stand. Wearing a scarf of cloud immunity will allow you to avoid the effects of mutagenic fog. Alternatively, it might be wise to bring a couple potions of mutation to clear out particularly deleterious mutations before the boss fight. Potions of cancellation also work if used to reduce your contamination level, but they are relatively rare and it's a waste to use them unless you already have some good mutations you don't want to lose.
Successfully looting Cigotuvi's Fleshworks will net you some gold, an artefact ring or the hat of the Alchemist, some spell books on Transmutations, a staff of death, several scrolls of summoning, and a whole bunch of potions of mutation. If you aren't confident in your ability to take on a variety of powerful monsters while avoiding heavy mutations, feel free to skip this area. If you want to play mutation roulette, Cigotuvi's Fleshworks is one of the best places to acquire the supplies to do so.
Note: in 0.27 trunk, you are basically never forced to walk through mutagenic clouds - so you can clear the entirety of this lab without contamination.

You will encounter a flesh golem in the large circular chamber once you pass the prison cells. This is nothing more than a reskinned iron golem; it's strong and durable (not to mention immune to virtually all forms of magical attack), but it's slow enough to kite easily.

The last chamber on the left side of the Fleshworks will contain several large abominations and Cigotuvi's Monster, a primal mutant beast with increased durability and an extra trait.

History
- Prior to 0.15, this place had a lot of pulsating lumps.
