'''Mutalith Vortex Beasts'''{{Fn|1}} are terrifying abominations of nature, which have been mutated beyond all reason by the power of [[Chaos]] and carry a vortex of the raw [[Daemonic]] energy on their backs. Because of this, any servant of the [[Dark Gods]] who wishes to use these massive clawed and tentacled creatures in battle{{Fn|2}}, risks suffering from mutation or madness.{{Fn|1}}
The formation of Mutalith is always an unnatural process. Sometimes dozens of [[Chaos Spawns]] on the [[Planet of Sorcerers]] caught in an empyric eddy and blend together into Mutalith, . Though such conglomeration often die quickly owerwhelmed by the weight of mutations and energy , and becoming a quivering mound of warp-infized ooze, sometimes by the will of [[Tzeentch]] (or just by chance), they become the monstrous abomination far more deadly than the sum of its weird parts - the nightmarish Mutalith. The same caprise of Tzeentch can transfrom his own [[Sorcerer]]s to Mutalith Mutaliths especially when they themselves are trying to create this creature. Often unfortunate Sorcerer is consumed by his own magic and his flesh added to the writhing matter of creation. Sometimes a Sorcerer become a Mutalith just before (and instead) of his alleged ascencion to [[Daemon Prince]] status - falling victim to the cruel whims of [[Tzeentch]] himself.{{Fn|3b}}
Before the battle [[Thousand Sons]] [[Sorcerers]] often harness the creature with a giant pointed star made of fire from the top of the [[Tower of the Cyclops]]. The burning [[Icon of Chaos]] that bound within is actually a fractured shard of the [[Magnus]]' eye from the crown of his tower. Through this burning portal raging Chaos winds channeled from the [[Planet of Sorcerers]] itself, allowing the raw chaos energy of this hell-planet seep freely onto the battlefield.{{Fn|3b}}
Regardless of the way of appearance, Mutalith is a horrendous opponent. Mutalith monstrosity is towering over not only infantry but even above tanks. Its hulking body absorbs and draws in Chaos enetgy acting as an empyric reservoir. This energy at once tearing it body apart and holding its weird anatomy together. This constant struggle between order and entropy creats creates a swirling psychic tempest around the Beast, that inundate all who draw near, mercilessly warping their bodies. The [[Thousand Sons]] Sorcerers revel in this field of change, but everyone else is suffering horribly. The thunderous roar of Mutalith reverberates for miles and pierce the psyche of every living entity, filling it with the visions of paradoxical horror. During the battle few can withstand the attack of Mutalith, whose muscles are growing and reknit almost constantly, tearing and crashing anything around the Beast. Massive razor claws shreds tanks to pieces, and the tendrils formed from warp-putrefied inner organs appearing from the creature mouth, tears tearing infantry limb from limbs or eating drawing people to the monster’s mashing gullet to digest them alive. Even near its own death when Mutalith body is torned open by enemy blades and torrents of artillery fire, the Chaos power of the Beast bleeds on the battlefield causing even more anarchic changes in reality.{{Fn|3b}}
