Manimal mutations that make sense.
I know that part of what makes MCC and DCC so glorious is the random weirdness in the systems. Still I wonder if it wouldn't make sense for the manimals to have at least one physical mutation that reflect their animal type. So birds would have wings, Gorillas Strength etc. I know, of course I could house rule anything, but I was thinking about making random tables per manimal mutation type and I just wondered if there would be any interest in such tables from the community (or if some exist already). Of course the mental mutation would stay random because we need to keep it bizarre.

Re: Manimal mutations that make sense.
If you want to do this, you could use the materials in Primal Tales #1 to build the base animal types before layering on mutations. That should work pretty well.
