Editing Dogpocalypse (section)

=== Muties ===


	The Muties have two sides. The side that people see, and the real powers behind the scenes. See, Sandra's been busy. She's awoken many of the animals she's come across since the Event, and they form the psychic backbone of her army. Most people, when they think of the muties, see people with a few oddities and a profound fondness for their pets. In reality, the people are survivors who have, mostly though no fault of their own, fallen into the grip of the psychic metaminds that Sandra created. That rabbit isn't the pet, it's the master. Mutie units are low cost, but not very effective, either. Their thralls almost never pass morale checks, so commanding telempath units must travel with each group. However, as most of their forces can be put in place long before a battle, they can often turn every battle into an ambush.

:Major subfactions of the Muties include:

:'''Sandra's Chosen''' - These are Sandra's direct minions. They have the greatest access to psychic units, and so must rely the least on their human thralls. It's unknown what their ultimate goals are, though it's sure to be something unpleasant for the human race.

:'''Rogue Wolves''' - Rogues are mutants that refuse to follow Sandra. They're often the least organized and most brutal, and though they're forced to use human slaves more than Sandra's Chosen, they seem to have a grudge against humanity and treat them extremely poorly, their thralls sometimes lasting less than a week before they must be replaced.

:'''The Loyal''' - Mostly made up of awakened pets, the Loyal are the only faction of the Muties to want to work with humanity, and often comes to blows with other factions because of that. They sometimes work behind the scenes, but come to light when something threatens the survivors they've chosen to protect.
