The [[characters:monster:magpie|Mighty Magpie]]'s uglier, but far more polite, cousin.

Another persistent threat from [[meta:history:seasoni|Season 1]], this three-headed monster has a devastating attack level. Unless you are strong and healed, your best bet is to run for your fucking life. //Unlike// the magpie, you're more likely to hear the Tattoo Mutant stomping through the trees towards you, giving you a chance to run away. If you decide to fight it, expect to take major damage (and possibly suffer [[gameplay:concepts:charm]] or [[items:cig]] loss on a defeat). But if you do manage to kill it, the ridiculous amount of XP it awards is usually enough for a level and a half.

The Giant Tattoo Mutant is either harmed by or attracted by Tattoos, but no one can remember which while editing this wiki page.((Harmed, I think. The flavour text mentions it recoils iirc...)) If you'd like to test it for yourself and put this argument to rest, try the tattoo parlor in [[places:outpost:improbablecentral|Improbable Central]]. Look for the Mutant in the jungle surrounding any [[places:outpost]].
