The biomutation lance is a four-use artifact added in the Anomaly DLC that can be equipped by pawns in the Utility slot and manually activated to forcibly transform a target into a Fleshbeast
Acquisition[edit]
Biomutation lances can be crafted at a bioferrite shaper once the Mutation weaponry research project has been completed. Note that this research requires dark study to unlock. Each requires 1 Shard, 50 Bioferrite, 20 Twisted meat, 40,000 ticks (11.11 mins) of work modified by the general labor speed of the crafter, and a crafting skill of 6.
Alternatively, they can be received as a quest reward.
Summary[edit]

When equipped, a biomutation lance is worn in the waist utility slot. Pawns that are incapable of violence can equip, but not use, the lance.[Verify] Once the wearer is drafted, it can be manually activated by the player to target a non-mechanoid[Entities?] pawn[Downed?] [Psy sense?] with a body size of 2.5 or under,[Verify] and within 25.9 tiles and within line of sight. The lance has 4 charges and cannot be recharged - when all charges are expended, the item disappears completely and no resources be salvaged from it.
After a 2 ticks (0.03 secs) warm-up, the target will instantaneously transform into a fleshbeast in a purely-visual explosions of gore. No filth will be created.
The resultant fleshbeast depends on the body size of the pawn transformed:
Fleshbeasts will be hostile to and attack any humans, mechanoids, and tamed non-pen animals they see, but won't necessarily seek out enemies to engage.
The pawn's original body is completely destroyed, leaving no opportunity for Death refusal or other means of reviving, and any equipment will be dropped to the ground untainted.
If used on a non-hostile faction's pawn, it will decrease goodwill with that faction by −200 points.[Verify]
Like all utility items, a biomutation lance is treated largely like any piece of apparel, however some exceptions exist. Utility items are worn on the waist and are mutually exclusive only with each other, regardless of the layer or coverage of other apparel worn. Additionally, utility items never become tainted, deteriorate from being worn, or inflict a worn-out or tattered mood debuff when damaged.
