Mutated beasts are fierce beasts set apart from ordinary wild stock, the beast-side parallel to mutated humans among people.
Fang Yuan’s beast phantoms are ordinary wild beasts, while a dragon-elephant phantom carries a trace of dragon bloodline and is treated as a mutated beast. ch. 317 Beasts have mutated beasts the way humans have mutated humans: Biao among tigers, lycan among wolves, and mastiff among dogs mark that class on the beast side. ch. 356 Ordinary wild stock is covered on Wild Beast. The human parallel class is covered on Variant Human.
Strength upgrades
Fang Yuan spends a night in a cave on San Cha mountain fusing Gu into a multicolored paste. A boar phantom sent into it comes out twice the original size, with tusks like an elephant’s and lightning curling on its white fur. He judges thunder boar equal to dragon-elephant, Biao, and mastiff. By dawn he has upgraded boar strength and crocodile strength to thunder boar strength and rock crocodile strength. ch. 353
Named examples

Ancient mutated beasts
In King Quan Inheritance, lion mastiffs are mutated beasts with much more battle prowess than the five great mountain dogs, and they are called King Quan’s trump cards. Two dog emperors are ancient mutated beasts, more powerful than common mutated beasts, and each can match a rank five Gu Master. Fang Yuan tells Bai Ning Bing to subdue them. ch. 387
Beast tier ladder
Fang Yuan finds the foxes of Hu Immortal blessed land all common foxes and not mutated beasts. The narration says an ordinary beast cannot match the worth of a mutated one, and pairs boar with thunder boar, green bull with kunlun bull, and wild dog with lion mastiff. Desolate beasts rank above mutated beasts, and ancient desolate beasts and immemorial desolate beasts rank above desolate beasts. Song Zi Xing’s violent blood dragon bat is an ancient desolate beast. The Legends of Ren Zu records immemorial desolate beasts, with the nine-tailed fox as the example. ch. 409
