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! He finds that in a sudden scrimmage, And lies, an unsightly lump on the sodden grass... An image that shall take long to pass!" -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 vaults 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 nagas can kite them.
