Chapter 717: Against The Perpetual

Mutations.

Evolutionary paths determined the internal structure of a beast, and if it was humanoid, it would have a Class like humans, Sif and Giants, but if it was not, it would have a mutation instead.

Unconventional mix breeding, consuming other outlandish beasts, and coming into contact with mystical geographical phenomena were a few of the ways mutations could be born.
