New unit ready!
Mutant Sappers
Recruited from the winding subway tunnels of demolished cities, these former humans (or their descendants) were hit with a slow dose of radiation. The lucky survivors lived long enough to gain mutations which gave them particular advantage over ordinary humans. Their lungs and liver systems are incredibly robust, and their glowing eyeballs can see quite well in the darkness of the lightless metros. A side effect of underground living and mutation has caused them to be terribly day-blind.
As a balancing point, they're also mutants--making contact with them is an adventure on its own!
