 At first sight, an aberration is merely the name that [[place:Rigasia]] calls the things from the [[thing:zone|Zones]]. Officially they are regular animals mutated by radiation and driven insane and aggressive by pain and hunger. At first sight, an aberration is merely the name that [[place:Rigasia]] calls the things from the [[thing:zone|Zones]].

 Aberration is kind of the technical term that the scientists (and official documentation) use for the things. Most people around zones have a bunch of other words, and only half are not obscene; some of the common ones are just "things", bombchildren, mutants, monsters, demons, spirits, and the list goes on… Aberration is kind of the technical term that the scientists (and official documentation) use for the things.

 Aberrations are not capable of surviving long-term outside the zones, and that's good for you because it means they haven't escaped to populate the rest of the country. they can leave for a while, but if they do so, they will eventually die. Of course a swarm of aberrations that are outside a zone and in pain get extra-aggressive so this is not a good thing to happen. Aberrations are not capable of surviving long-term outside the zones, and that's good for you because it means they haven't escaped to populate the rest of the country. they can leave for a while, but if they do so, they will eventually die.

 Aberration hunters don't usually deal with this, but not all animals that exhibit some kind of dependency on the Zones exhibit aberrant traits or look mutated, so at this point things start getting muddy. Aberration hunters don't usually deal with this, but not all animals that exhibit some kind of dependency on the Zones exhibit aberrant traits or look mutated, so at this point things start getting muddy.

 +As of arc 2, the party seems to have confirmed that there are many humans that exhibit the "aberrant" trait where they require reality to be at least a bit warped to feel themselves. This seems to include //most// [[place:anagut|Anagusi]] because they stopped living in regular timelines a long time ago.
