On what was intended to be a standard ADVENT facility mission, Diane "Cargo" Freeman and her allies find out: this particular facility is in the process of modifying muton children into berserkers, when one of those children escapes to them. Cargo's wife and commanding officer Echidna, a berserker herself, knows exactly what those kids are expected to go through. Set off by the horrors of her own past, Echidna barrels forward, and Cargo follows, anxious to learn at long last just how painfully a berserker's childhood dies.
Conversion Corner: XCOM playable races part 4
Muton
Another favorite among XCOM aliens for me, next up we have the mutons! Though smaller than the original ones that were part of the initial invasion, the modern muton is nevertheless a mighty being, sporting a powerful muscular body, a ferocious temper, and a warrior’s spirit.
Like the other alien races encountered in the modern series, mutons were brought to earth as part of the invasion force after being rejected as candidates for the Ethereal’s host bodies. It is actually the Uber Ethereal’s description of mutons that reveals the sort of contempt that they possess for their vassal races, viewing mutons are incapable of brilliance or independence. However, despite this, mutons in Chimera Squad have proven quite capable of intelligence, social integration, and empathy and mercy, being shown capable of befriending small animals and choosing to protect other species even at the cost of their own lives. Yes, they do maintain a tribal sort of society of closely-knit familial bonds and spiritualism, but just like western civilization’s past opinions about other cultures, the Ethereals were proven wrong.
With that being said, the Elders did succeed in enhancing the brutal might of the mutons, both in their initially seen form, and in the smaller, human-hybridized form seen later. The most prominent example of this is in the “berserker” variant, hulking, skinless female mutons that have reduced intellect in favor of raw muscle mass and even greater battle fury. However, despite how worked up they can get in combat, it would be inaccurate to label them mere beasts, and are fiercely protective of their smaller kin. Indeed, female mutons in general are described among their own as being fearless, calm under pressure, and striving to bring out the best in those around them. As such, “You fight like a woman” is a high compliment to mutons.
Physically, mutons are powerful, muscular humanoids with forward-set heads on the end of thick necks that protect their spinal cords and other vascular tubing. Originally, mutons had vertical-slit mouths, but in the modern era of Chimera Squad, many have undergone gene-modding to give them more humanlike mouths, perhaps to make speaking human languages easier, as well as putting their human neighbors at ease.
As mentioned above, muton society is tribal in nature, full of ritual and bonding exercises to solidify them into one family that looks out for each other, a fact that carries over in how they bond with other races. Be strongly advised, though. A muton who’s family is threatened, or that has been worked up by injury and frustration, can be extremely dangerous.

There was gonna be a page 1 but I got lazy
Anyway, this is my headcanon for how berserkers get made. The Elders have their technicians drag muton girls at the dawn of puberty to get gene-modded and medically tortured as the Elders see fit. Echidna sees her technician for the first time in 35 years... and said technician hasn't realized yet that she [the technician] isn't leaving this encounter alive.
but mostly I wanted to contrast poor little 13 year-old Echi with her 48 year-old self. All the shit she's been through directly caused by being "blessed" by the Elders. This is probably the best I've ever been able to draw her face.
👽 Anyway I have a Ko-Fi and there's stuff on it
"hel are you sexualizing the mutons again" listen I am weak for beef and I saw enough sexy clothing items on pinterest that I felt the Need to draw a muton wearing them. With some inspo from Claus' Muton Harriers and Hunters mods which I've been putting into my X2 playthroughs lately
anyway this vibe, the callsign "Ripjack"/nickname "Jackie" and a semblance of a backstory have been rotating in my head, we'll see if she sticks around
👽 Anyway I have a Ko-Fi and there's stuff on it
quickly cranks out a headshot because I wanted to draw more babygirl
POV: you find a smol muton escaping her superiors (she is almost the height of an adult human) and you get to take care of her and teach her things
Joy maybe looks slightly too baby to pass for 13 but it suits the doodle for her to be basically as smol as Echidna perceives her lmao
As you can see I am very normal about Joy and her family dynamic
My last handful of lineworks for this month: Bond and Joy's Halloween costumes!! :3
Bond having a stylized Medusa costume, because it is the most obvious and obligatory costume for a Viper/Thin Man to pick. Naturally, it had to be sexy.
Joy as a witch, with bonus fluffy black kitty cat. She is adorable.
