Mutate Animals are common enough. Often called Mutanimals, these are mutants that have either animals mutated into a humanoid form, or are a conventional race that has taken animal characteristics.
A .pdf version is available here.
Parameters
· All mutant animals are already considered to have the Mutate template from the DRev Book of Adventure, though with some modifications. Suggested ability, save and skills modifications required by the Mutate template are supplied under each mutant animal section, though you may use and alter these changes within the normal rules of the template.
· Mutant Animals will have second creature type of Animal instead the Aberration creature type normally gained through the Mutate Template.
· Like the Mutate template, mutant animal characters may use feat slots to take racial talents.
· Most categories are based on similar features, rather then biology.
· Most categories are based on similar features, rather then biology.

Features
Quad-Legs
If an animal the mutanimal is based on starts with four legs, they can start with the following changes to show they are a centaur of some sort:
· You have the lower torso of four legs instead of two, and take on the form of something akin to a centaur.
· Your base speed is 40 feet.
· Your speed may change based on your size, see the Growing and Shrinking racial talent trees for details.
· Your lifting and carrying capacity is measured as a quadruped for your size.
· You gain a +2 bonus to your CMD against Bullrush/Overrun attempts.
· You are at -2 to any escape artist (Acrobatics) checks.
· You may not ride a mount. You may not drive vehicles, unless somehow specifically designed for you.
· Your personal character weight is 50% is greater than normal.
· You are considered non-humanoid for the purposes of wearing Armor.
· You can still only gain benefit from one boot slot item.
· You gain access to the Quad-Legs Augmentation talent tree later in this book.
Old Talent Notes:
Natural Weapons: Some examples of natural weapons include: Bite, horns, claws, knuckle hooves or spines that can be used as a weapon.
Underwater (See Dark Revelations – Book of Adventure): Many of the Mutanimals have aquatic features and they can take talents from this tree to reflect this.
New Talents
Misc Talents
Burrow (Ex)
Prerequisite: Rodent and weasel based Mutanimals
Benefit: The creature moves underground. Burrow has the following rules:
· While underground at 10 or more feet the creature has full cover and normal attacks and effects cannot target or hit the creature.
· The creature must emerge from the ground to attack targets, those targets otherwise has full cover against the creature. This will provoke attacks of opportunity when the creature first emerges from the ground.
· If the creature is just 5 or less feet under the ground it has cover, and targets have cover against the creature. The creature and its opponents may otherwise interact normally.
· If the burrowing creature has the spring attack feat, it may burrow, emerge, and then burrow again as part of the move-attack-move action. However, this attack and movement always provokes attacks of opportunity.
· Burrowing creatures cannot normally travel through solid rock.
· Burrowing creatures may or may not leave tunnels as they see fit, or as deemed by your monster design.
· Any tunnels are equal to burrowing creature’s size, and typically last 24 hours before collapsing.
Camouflage (Ex)
Prerequisite: Chameleon and Salamander based Mutanimal
Benefit: your body blends into the background.
· The creature gets a +4 to all Stealth skill checks and Stealth is always considered a class skill for that creature (thus additional bonus may be granted to the skill check); this well be calculated into the creature’s skills.
· It may attempt Stealth skill checks even if no concealment or cover is available, or is being observed in the open. Make a Stealth check vs. all on lookers Perception check as a move action; if any one creature sees it, the stealth fails.
Echo-location (Ex)
Prerequisite: Blindsense, Aquatic Mammal, Bat and Elephant based Mutanimals
Benefit: The character can use either really high pitched or low pitched sound to probe the contents of containers, such as boxes, barrels and what’s behind doors.
· This does not eliminate the need for search checks. Rather all it does it allow the possibility to check before you open said item.
· It allows a prediction of a number of objects (such as how many jelly beans are in a jar), their rough shape and whether they are moving or not.
· If used against sentience, they are allowed a perception check to detect the action, but the character gets a +2 to stealth checks.
· It also gives a +2 search bonus to check for traps.
Regeneration (Ex)
Prerequisites: Amphibian or Reptile base Mutanimal, 4 talents taken from savage or snake.
Benefit 1: When you would naturally heal at the start of the day, you recover additional hit points equal to half your
constitution score (rounded up). This can only be applied if you are currently not suffering from starvation or thirst.
Benefit 2: If you lose a limb, other than your head, it will grow back in a week. It requires one week for each limb
to grow back separately, thus if you lose an arm and leg, it will take two weeks total to regrow both.
Voice Mimicry (Ex)
Prerequisite: Crow, Thrush or Primate Based Mutanimal
Benefit: You are really good at imitating other voices. You get a flat +3 racial bonus to bluff when attempting to imitate other creatures.
Quad-Legs Talent Tree
You must have the Quad-Legs locomotion to gain these talents
Gallop (Ex)
You can now run like a horse. While completely inhuman looking, it is quite graceful to watch.
Prerequisites: Quad-legs locomotion
· Benefit 1: You gain the feats of Endurance (save tree), and Run from the DRev Player’s Guide.
· Benefit 2: You gain a+2 bonus to charge attack and damage rolls, as long as you charge at least 20 feet.
Saddle Integration (Ex)
Much like a horse, you can now carry allies on your back, acting a substitute mount.
Prerequisites: Gallop
Benefit: 1: You may carry an ally on your back as if you were a mount. The ally counts towards your carrying
capacity. If the GM does not wish to specifically calculate how much weight you can carry for this benefit, they
may declare you can easily carry an ally equal or less than your size, and has no more than medium encumbrance.
Benefit: 2: If it would make sense, the ally riding you may use Mounted combat feats or talents. You are in control
of all movement, so your ally does not need Riding skill checks to spur you on or the like.
Note: For example, if your ally has the Mounted Combat feat they may use its effect to negate an attack that would
hit you as the mount (see DRev Player’s Guide for detailed mounted combat feats and rules).

Hot Spots of Mutanimals.
While Mutanimals can appear just about anywhere, there are a few locations where they are more common than others:
1. Beast Lands: The Five Beast Clans of southern Mexico are known as such because they are overwhelmingly Mutanimals and the largest concentration on the continent. These clans are constantly vying for a spot for the Bone Trials: a brutal battle royale meant to demonstrate cunning, strength, and survivability
2. Cannibal Coast: Lots of Mutants live on the island chains along the western continent with an emphasis on Blackfish (Orca), Frog, Eagle and Raven Mutanimals.
3. Denver: This town in the Drejlands has become a multiracial shanty town where races of all sorts try to live their lives. Law enforcement is enforced by bounty hunter organizations. Mutanimals abound with Caninates and Felinates being the most common. In fact most “turf wars” are started by these mutanimal communities.
4. Oklahoma: The various mutant clans of Oklahoma are often organized by an animal theme. One noteworthy gang is known as “The Screaming Badgers”, a gang completely composed of mustelid based Mutanimals.
