Editing Argent Strix (section)

===Mutations===
{{Topquote|Look upon the Abhuman brother. Look upon the Ratling and Squat with their stunted height, look upon the bulk and small mind of the Ogryn, look upon the Beastman and his unsightly form. Know pity but not hate. For we too know the price of taint, to lose his blessing even if only for a moment. But we also know that such malformities can be used to serve him all the better. Do not lash at him for his curse. But instead teach him to serve the Emperor, as you do.|Unnamed Chaplain of the Argent Strix}}

This chapter suffers from two mutations. The first is that with age the texture, toughness, and color of their veins and skin change. Over time a Strix's skin will harden to a smooth stony texture and continue to pale until becoming completely white, gaining an almost reflective quality. Finally, the veins in the area will blacken. Ultimately the final appearance is somewhat similar to marble, giving the 'elderly' marine an appearance of an ancient statue.

The second mutation occurred after the Chapter's founding, sometime during or after the confrontation between Chief Apothecary Fuhor and Malfarum Illdactus. The previously inactive Omophagea of the Strix has since become hyperstimulated, causing brothers of the chapter to randomly burst into feeding frenzies driven by an intense hunger for flesh and blood. Typically members of the chapter seek to combat this through rituals to help teach them control, though it can not always be avoided.
