The laws of Imperial worlds normally forbid such creatures from possessing armaments; those weapons that mutants do possess are usually limited to crude shotguns or blunderbusses, heavy duty [[stubgun|revolver-stubguns]], chains, whips and clubs which can be easily made and concealed{{cite this}}.
[[Imperial]] [[Sanctioned-Mutation Work Pass]]es can be given to Mutants, which will prevent them from being killed due to their genetic deviances. However while the documents will work on the world they are issued on, other Imperial worlds may not accept the Passes.{{Fn|3}} On some worlds where mutants are permitted to live and work, the mutant population is largely focused on licensed shanty towns around the [[Hive|mainhives]]. While mutants are not permitted in all spaces in the Imperium, normal humans aren’t necessarily permitted in mutant spaces either. For example, a mutant nightclub might not allow normal humans to enter.{{Fn|11}} Some mutants take great pride in calling themselves by the Imperium’s glibbest slang as a badge of honour. Among mutants, the word "mutant" can be regarded as dirty or offensive. "Twist", a slur meaning mutant, is an acceptable slang term used among mutants.{{Fn|11}}
[[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}}
