The Mutagen is one of the crafting components used to create Vulpaphyla and Predasite companions through Son in the Necralisk. This component affects the resistances and visual appearance of the companion.
First-generation Vulpaphylas and Predasites have only 1 Mutagen when Revified. By taking Genetic Code Templates from 2 Vulpaphylas or Predasites with different Mutagens and using them to Incubate and Kavat or Kubrow respectively, a new Vulpaphyla/Predasite with the Mutagens of both parents will be created. Through 2 generations of breeding, a companion with all 4 Mutagens can be created.
Each Mutagen grants the companion 50% damage resistance to one primary elemental and one physical damage type. If the companion has both Elsa/Chiten and Phijar/Monachod, the 2 Slash resistances will stack to grant 75% slash resistance.
