[[Dissembler]]s are a type of Mutant.{{Fn|6}} [[Navigator]]s are considered Mutants, as well but were actually intentionally created in the distant past. Because they are a vital part of the Imperium, they are the only tolerated form of mutant.{{cite this}}
===Mutant Abominations===
'''Mutant Abominations''' are [[Mutants]], who have been remade by the influence of the [[Warp]]. As a result, their bodies have become the clay for an insane macabre sculptor, while the Abominations' minds and souls have become [[Chaos|tainted]] beyond salvation.{{Fn|8}}
===Mutant Monstrosities===
Mutants that are often created from dabbling in forbidden sciences, are known as '''Mutant Monstrosities'''. They are affronts to nature, who have short existences that are filled with constant pain and resentment and can also be left dim-witted. This will cause them to willingly or unwillingly exhibit brief periods of extreme violence and those who create the Monstrosities many not be able to control the creatures. Several species are known to be able to create the Monstrosities, such as the experiments of [[Ork]] [[Painboy]]s or the [[Tyranids]]' bizarre [[Human]]/Tyranid hybrids. The [[Lost and the Damned]] are also known to use Monstrosities that are hybrids of large Mutants and [[Chaos Spawn]]. The [[Ordo Hereticus]]' Witch Hunters make use of them as well as the [[Astra Militarum]], which can have [[Ogryn]] or other [[Abhuman]] bodyguards made into a Mutant Monstrosity they can field in battle.{{Fn|4}}
