Bioluminescent represents the change-from-within concept of posthumanity: with these parts, your hero or villain is clearly changing at a genetic level and doing so in style--with tintable glows that really pop in dark environments.

Organic Armor represents change-from-without. With these parts, you can acheive a carapace/exoskeleton look, as if your character is growing a new skin or shell or perhaps being taken over by a symbiotic entity. And for added visual punch, you get the tintable glows here too.

As a set, the Mutant pack gives you the abilty to make new heroes or villains to fit a fairly wide range of aestheic types: alien-corrupted, hell-spawn, genetic freak--all of that's doable with this set. And with 2 tails, wings, and sword, there's a cherry on top.

Here're some shots of the tails that you'll be getting in the next build, by the way:

A monster-themed pack is something we can look into after Going Rogue, but that's a different set.

Until then, enjoy all the new toys!

I honestly wish we'd get something with smoother curves and, yes, even something more cute and cuddly at some point.

In fact, it seems people always expect something serious and monstrous when they hear the term "mutant" where it could just as well have been something soft, cuddly and pretty cute. I mean, why not?

Living, altered stuff does not =bestial. The bioluminescent looks like somebody who's become partly aquatic, but still retains human characteristics. This is easily mutant-related. The organic armor is supposed to look like armor the character has grown, I assume, the trick is it looks pretty sharp/spiky/spindly for living tissue. This is where people are taking offence, methinks. (Besides the "But I wanted 'x!' That's not 'x!'")

You do need them for many full anthropomorphic concepts, but again, that is not the same as a "mutant".
