'''Mutants''' are creatures bearing some form of severe genetic deviance from the normal members of their species. Some are born mutants, while others have suffered more spontaneous mutation through the influence of the [[Warp]], whether by worshiping it or being exposed to its energies. Persecuted and hunted by [[Imperial]] society, Mutants often make up the forces of [[Chaos]].{{cite this}}
==Mutation among humanity==

Human mutants are often terribly misshapen creatures, abominably deviating from the normal human form. On the other hand, not all mutants are degenerated beasts; many only bear a few extraordinary traits setting them apart from the rest of humanity.{{Fn|5}}

There are many mutants amongst humanity. Most pose a great threat, and very few are tolerated. The most important mutants are [[psyker]]s, who are both the most useful and the most dangerous. Only by the righteous persecution of the [[Inquisition]] and the careful testing of the [[Coven Master]]s of the [[Adeptus Astra Telepathica]] can dangerous mutants be cleansed from the Imperium.{{Fn|7}}
