The Mutations of Mercury

Monsters come from the stars. Metaphysical vapors emanate from the celestial bodies and imbue aspects of reality with their nature. The sphere of Mercury is one of speed, thinking and communication. Beings infected by this realm are liquid in form, nature and thought. 

Since the cracking of the sky there has been a great many changes in men and beasts. What was once natural is now monstrous. Whole tracts of land are known to have been warped too, along with what was once clean settlements of god fearing men. 

The mutations known to be brought to earth by the yellowing smog of Mercury are listed below.
