Okay, so I was poking around with mutations in Wizard Mode and noticed some things:

  • I don't think the "ridged grey scales" mutation is in the game anymore. Could somebody confirm that?
  • Also, is the "teleport at will" mutation still present? It seems a little broken, though I guess it would be tricky at best to get more than one level of it.
  • Can non-demonspawn characters get the "thin skeletal structure" mutation through potions of mutation? I vaguely recall one of my tengu something-or-others getting that before being slaughtered horribly, but I could be misremembering it.
  • I think the "breathe poison" mutation might be exclusive to nagas, since I couldn't induce it in the other races I tried.
