The mutant has a long giraffe-like neck. This attribute only affects the mutant's appearance and does not change its profile or abilities - except perhaps to increase its chance of seeing creatures hidden behind low walls and hedges. Any critical hit to the head has a 25% chance of severing the neck.

- One way of making a character look bizarre or comedic is to give him a long neck. He/she/it can be born with it as due to some strange birth defect. Or when the character is anthropomorphic and has a long neck because of his real life animal counterparts like giraffes, geese, swans, brontosauruses, snakes, tortoises,... Also a frightening type of Body Horror in horror movies, because it is such an unusual sight. On the other hand: to women it is sometimes seen as a sign of beauty. Examples of Long Neck include:

Or when the character is anthropomorphic and has a long neck because of his real life animal counterparts like giraffes, geese, swans, brontosauruses, snakes, tortoises,... In comedic stories a long neck is usually stretched out by accident. The neck is either fully erect and only able to rise and down or it can be bended into all kinds of shapes like a snake. Long necked characters are usually able to oversee things from great distances. Or when swimming, he is able to use his neck as a periscope. Disadvantages of this condition are that the character's neck will frequently be tied in knots or bump against lower objects or people. Also a frightening type of Body Horror in horror movies, because it is such an unusual sight. On the other hand: to women it is sometimes seen as a sign of beauty. Examples of Long Neck include:
