=Xeno Mutations=
Xeno mutations are straight buffs to certain aspects of a caste or hive. All of the current mutation options can be found listed below.


*Each Maturation (Young | Mature | Elite | Ancient) you will gain 6 points to spend on a mutation of your choice.
*When you evolve you will lose all the mutators you previously picked.
*'''All mutations can only be bought once.'''
*'''If a hive flaw is brought and you have the positive mutation of that flaw then they will cancel each other out.'''


'''How to buy and see your active mutators:'''

Under the Alien tab you can buy mutations for yourself with the '''Purchase Mutators''' verb, to buy mutations for the hive (as the [[Queen]]) click on the verb '''Purchase Hive Mutators''' and lastly to view the Hive and your own currently active mutations click on the '''List Mutators''' verb.
