Mutants are creatures bearing some form of severe genetic deviance from the normal members of their species. Some are born mutants, while others have suffered more spontaneous mutation through the influence of the Warp, whether by worshiping it or being exposed to its energies. Persecuted and hunted by Imperial society, Mutants often make up the forces of Chaos.
变种人是指与物种的正常成员存在某种形式的严重遗传偏差的生物。有些人天生就是变种人，而另一些人则因亚空间的影响而遭受了更多的自发突变，无论是崇拜亚空间还是接触亚空间的能量。受到帝国社会的迫害和追捕，变种人经常组成混沌的部队。

Mutation Among Humanity 人类突变
Humanity has suffered greatly since the 20th Century from the effects of mutation due to exposure to chemical and nuclear contamination. Nuclear war was widespread during both the Dark Age of Technology and the following Age of Strife, which has left many worlds badly exposed to the radioactive aftermath and has led to a significantly increased rate of mutation. Genetically healthy parents may have in some cases a 5% chance of rearing mutant offspring while mutant parents may give birth to mutant children around 90% of the time. Therefore, some human worlds may have an overwhelmingly mutant population.
自20世纪以来，人类因暴露于化学和核污染而遭受了巨大的变种影响。核战争在黑暗技术时代和随后的纷争时代都很普遍，这使许多世界严重暴露在放射性后果中，并导致突变率显著增加。在某些情况下，遗传健康的父母可能有5%的机会养育变种人后代，而变种人父母可能在90%左右的时间里生下变种人后代。因此，一些人类世界可能拥有压倒性的变种人群体。
Mutants with a captive 变种人与俘虏
Human mutants are often terribly misshapen creatures, abominably deviating from the normal human form. On the other hand, not all mutants are degenerated beasts; many only bear a few extraordinary traits setting them apart from the rest of humanity.
人类变种人通常是非常畸形的生物，与正常的人类形态截然不同。另一方面，并非所有变种人都是退化的野兽；许多人只具有一些非凡的特征，使他们与其他人类区别开来。
Mutants 变种人
There are many mutants amongst Humanity. Most pose a great threat, and very few are tolerated. The most important mutants are psykers, who are both the most useful and the most dangerous. Only by the righteous persecution of the Inquisition and the careful testing of the Coven Masters of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica can dangerous mutants be cleansed from the Imperium.
人类中有许多变种人。大多数都构成了巨大的威胁，很少有人被容忍。最重要的变种人是灵能者，他们既是最有用的，也是最危险的。只有通过审判庭的公正迫害和星语庭的巫会之主的仔细测试，危险的变种人才能从帝国中被清除。
The position of mutants within the Imperium varies from world to world. On primitive worlds they are often slain at birth. On more advanced worlds they may be allowed to live, but rarely enjoy the benefits of other humans and are usually segregated from the normal population. In general terms, mutants form a huge downtrodden portion of the Imperium's population. Their dissatisfaction sometimes erupts into rebellion, sometimes allowing the mutants to take temporary control of an entire world. Retaliation, however, is usually swift and effective.
变种人在帝国中的地位因世界而异。在原始世界，他们经常在出生时就被杀死。在更先进的世界里，他们可能被允许生活，但很少享受其他人类的福利，通常与正常人群隔离开来。一般来说，变种人在帝国人口中占很大比例。他们的不满有时会爆发为叛乱，有时会让变种人暂时控制整个世界。然而，报复通常是迅速而有效的。
Big Mutant 大变种人
The laws of Imperial worlds normally forbid such creatures from possessing armaments; those weapons that mutants do possess are usually limited to crude shotguns or blunderbusses, heavy duty revolver-stubguns, chains, whips and clubs which can be easily made and concealed.
帝国世界的法律通常禁止这些生物拥有武器；变种人确实拥有的武器通常仅限于简陋的霰弹枪或手炮、重型左轮手枪、链锯、鞭子和棍棒，这些武器很容易制造和隐藏。
Imperial Sanctioned-Mutation Work Passes can be given to Mutants, which will prevent them from being killed due to their genetic deviances. However, while the documents will work on the world they are issued on, other Imperial worlds may not accept the passes. On some worlds where mutants are permitted to live and work, the mutant population is largely focused on licensed shanty towns around the mainhives. While mutants are not permitted in all spaces in the Imperium, normal humans aren’t necessarily permitted in mutant spaces either. For example, a mutant nightclub might not allow normal humans to enter.
可以向变种人发放帝国制裁突变工作通行证，这将防止他们因基因异常而被杀死。然而，虽然这些文件将在它们发行的世界上发挥作用，但其他帝国世界可能不接受这些通行证。在一些允许变种人生活和工作的世界里，变种人主要集中在主巢都周围的许可棚户区。虽然变种人不允许出现在帝国的所有空间，但正常人也不一定允许出现在变种人空间。例如，变种人夜总会可能不允许正常人进入。
Some mutants take great pride in calling themselves by the Imperium’s glibbest slang as a badge of honour. Among mutants, the word "mutant" can be regarded as dirty or offensive. "Twist", a slur meaning mutant, is an acceptable slang term used among mutants.
一些变种人非常自豪地用帝国最油嘴滑舌的俚语称呼自己，以此作为荣誉的象征。在变种人中，“异形”一词可以被视为肮脏或冒犯。“扭曲”是一个贬义词，意思是变种人，是变种人中使用的一个可接受的俚语。
mutant rabble unleashed 被释放的变种人暴民
Dissemblers are a type of Mutant. Navigators are considered Mutants, as well but were actually intentionally created in the distant past. Because they are a vital part of the Imperium, they are a tolerated form of mutant.
伪装者是变种人的一种。导航者也被认为是变种人，但实际上是在遥远的过去故意创造的。因为它们是帝国的重要组成部分，所以他们是一种可容忍的变种人。
Mutant Abominations 憎恨变种人
Mutant Abominations are Mutants, who have been remade by the influence of the Warp. As a result, their bodies have become the clay for an insane macabre sculptor, while the Abominations' minds and souls have become tainted beyond salvation.
憎恨变种人是变种人，他们在亚空间的影响下被重塑。因此，他们的身体变成了疯狂恐怖雕塑家的粘土，而可憎之人的思想和灵魂则被污染得无法拯救。
Mutant Monstrosities 变种人怪物
Mutants that are often created from dabbling in forbidden sciences are known as Mutant Monstrosities. They are affronts to nature who have short existences that are filled with constant pain and resentment and can also be left dim-witted. This will cause them to willingly or unwillingly exhibit brief periods of extreme violence and those who create the Monstrosities many not be able to control the creatures. Several species are known to be able to create the Monstrosities, such as the experiments of Ork Painboys or the Tyranids' bizarre Human/Tyranid hybrids. The Lost and the Damned are also known to use Monstrosities that are hybrids of large Mutants and Chaos Spawn. The Ordo Hereticus's Witch Hunters make use of them as well as the Astra Militarum, which can have ogryn or other abhuman bodyguards made into a Mutant Monstrosity they can field in battle.
经常因涉足被禁止的科学而产生的变种人被称为突变怪物。他们是对大自然的侮辱，他们的生命短暂，充满了持续的痛苦和怨恨，也可能变得迟钝。这将导致他们自愿或不自愿地表现出短暂的极端暴力，而那些创造怪物的人可能无法控制这些生物。已知有几个物种能够创造怪物，比如欧克痛苦小子的实验或泰伦的怪诞人类/泰伦混血种。众所周知，迷失者和被诅咒者也会使用由大型变种人和混沌生物混合而成的怪物。讨逆修会的女巫猎手和星界军都会利用他们，星界军可以让欧格林或其他亚人护卫变成他们可以在外战斗的变种怪物。
Mutant Monstrosity, known as the Mutant Thing 突变怪物，被称为突变物
