Mutation
From BIONICLEsector01
"Roodaka watched with amusement as Nidhiki tried to master his new body. He was stumbling about on the sand, trying to move like a Toa but a prisoner of the monstrous form her mutation spinner had given him."
— Narrator, Birth of a Dark Hunter

Mutation is a power that changes the molecular structure of a target. Mutagens only cause physical change and also effect non-living objects[1][2] but cannot change one's destiny.[3] Beings with a mutation power cannot mutate themselves.[4][5][6] In some cases, mutations can also cause fusions of two or more beings.[7][8][9]
Users
- Any wearer of a Mask of Mutation - Can control how their target is mutated,[10] including giving and taking powers,[11][12] but cannot change the target's element.[13]
- Energized Protodermis - Mutates beings that are destined to be, but cannot undo previous mutations.[14]
- Pit Mutagen - Mutations are random[15][16] and not instantaneous.[17]
- Reconstitute at Random Kanoka - Causes temporary, random[18] mutations in its target.
- Roodaka - Able to mutate targets with her Rhotuka spinner. Controls what her targets mutate into.[19] Mutations are instant and permanent (unless undone).[20][21]
- Visorak - Has venom that can mutate beings. Can only mutate objects that are closely tied to the being they mutate, such as Kanohi and Toa Tools.[22][23][24][25] Mutations are random[26][27] and not instantaneous.[17] Also causes psychological damage.[28]
