Dressing Your Mutant



Apparently, you like mutants. I guess that's why you decided to read this article! Well, no matter. We may not have scared you with mutants, but we can at least give you some ideas to dress your mutants with! You may think mutants are un-customizable because they can't wear regular clothing, right? Well – wrong! Sure, they can't wear most clothing items. They're mutants, after all, and regular clothing doesn't account for bigger bodies or extra arms... or heads. But Fuz (sinistrous) and I have scoured Neopia...

"Released" by laurapet131
Darigan looked up, his face blank—or, more correctly, his emotions hidden behind a blank face. "Ah, yes. I require a favor of you, Vex." Vex nodded, mentally running through a list of things that Lord Darigan could require of him. Take care of a new prisoner? Spend less time playing Cellblock? Keep his cell guards in line?
