Character Creation in Biomutant features a robust set of options for customizing your protagonist. Character creation is done at the start of the game, allowing you to pick your Genetic Breed and Class, which in turn influence your starting appearance, attributes and stats, resistances, traits and gives you an overall idea and direction for your character's growth.
Biomutant Character Creation
Choose Biomutant Breed
Your Breed forms the basis for your genetic structure, determining your overall look. Each breed starts with different values for secondary Stats such as Health, Melee Damage, Ki Energy and Regen. These can be influenced by your Attributes. There are six Breeds to choose from as follows:
Primal
Primal is a nimble developed anthropomorphic breed. A hybrid with a gene mutation making them nimble and dexterous at the cost of a lesser developed intellect.
Dumdon
Dumdom is the least developed anthropomorphic breed. A hybrid off-shoot that compensate lack of mental prowess with physical strength.
Rex
Rex is an extraordinarily developed anthropomorphic breed. A hybrid outcast with an even DNA string making it apt for both physical and mental challenges.
Hyla
Hyla is a regenerative developed anthropomorphic breed. A hybrid with a gene mutation making them extremely tough and resistant.
Fip
The Fip breed is renowned for a highly evolved mind. Its genius is directly interlinked to the power of Ki which amplifies their Psionic output.
Murgel
Murgel is the definition of an idealized breed. Its evolutionary lineage has gone in a direction where form and appearance has dominated over function.
Mutate Character
NOTE: Later in the game, you'll be able to find mutation pools at Biohazard plants where you can change your appearance.
The character mutation wheel allows you to define your character's starting Attributes of Vitality, Strength, Intellect, Charisma and Agility, each of which govern your secondary Stats. Drag the cursor around the wheel to add or subtract from your Attributes. Note that while Luck is an Attribute, it cannot be customized during the character creation process, but it can be influenced by your equipment. Excluding Luck, you have a total of 140 points to assign to your Attributes. However, you cannot take any Attribute below 10, leaving you with 90 points to distribute however you wish.
Mutating your character's Attributes affects their physical appearance as well. For example, giving your character more Agility may decrease their overall body mass while lengthening their legs, and giving them more Intellect increases their head size.
Choose Resistance
The world of Biomutant is filled with Hazard Zones, which are vast areas covered in Biocontamination, Radioactivity Cryogenic, or Incendiary hazards. There are also oxygen-deprived Dead Zones. Boosting your Resistance to specific hazards will allow you to survive in these zones longer without specialized Equipment. Your Resistances will also affect how much damage you take from Hazard-based weapons used by the many hostiles you will encounter.
Drag the cursor around the resistance wheel to boost your resistance to the various hazards. You can have a maximum of 25% resistance to a single hazard type during character creation which can improve your survivability in certain locations during the early game and your resistance can be further boosted by equipment. Note that you cannot boost resistances to Dead Zones during character creation.
Fur Appearance
NOTE: Later in the game, you'll be able to talk to Trim to customize your appearance.
This section allows you to customize your fur from the myriad of patterns available by dragging the cursor around the customization wheel. You can also choose a primary and secondary color, as well as the fur brightness.
Classes

Each class specializes in a combat style, uses different starting equipment and are assigned special Class Abilities that make them more effective in combat.
