Mutant To'kustars (also known as Way Bads) are an artificial race of aggressive To'kustar-like monsters.
Biology[]
Anatomy[]
Mutant To'kustars have the basic structure of ordinary To'kustars except they have red eyes and generally have a gray base color for their skin with details in a primary or secondary color, including red and purple.
The random nature of their creation means that mutant To'kustars generally have monstrous appearances. Some are more reptilian-like whereas others are skeletal with exposed bones, sharing this appearance with undead To'kustars. They can also have blades in varying places, bizarre scars, and large red bulbs over most of their body.
Ecology[]
Surprisingly, mutant To'kustars share the same natural predator as regular To'kustars: an unnamed virus that is very small in contrast to their naturally gigantic size.[1]
Powers and abilities[]
Mutant To'kustars share many of the same abilities as regular To'kustars.
Weaknesses[]
Mutant To'kustars share many of the same weaknesses as regular To'kustars.
Mutant To'kustars can be telepathically controlled into a domesticated/drone-like by a machine built by Dr. Psychobos after being exposed to his Ogia Concentrate mind-control serum.
Culture and society[]
Unlike their regular counterparts, mutant To'kustars are feral and will attack anything on sight.
Mutant To'kustars wear outfits and armor that vary almost entirely between individuals.
History[]
Mutant To'kustars were created by Dr. Psychobos from mutated To'kustar DNA,[1] but due to their feral nature, he controlled them using the Ogia Concentrate he developed on Revonnah.
During the Incurseans' invasion of Earth, the mutant To'kustars were first unleashed in Bellwood after Ben Tennyson and Rook Blonko had defeated Emperor Milleous. They travelled across other parts of the globe to assure the Incurseans' rule. However, when the Plumbers managed to break Psychobos' control over the mutant To'kustars, they went on a rampage before being transported to the Null Void.
While trying to rescue Kevin Levin and the Plumbers' Helpers from the Rooters, Ben, Rook, Gwen Tennyson, Argit, and Zed encountered several Way Bads in the Null Void. Ben as Gutrot created a pheromone to attract them to the Rooters' base, which proved instrumental to their ultimate downfall. After the Rooters are stranded in the Null Void, a Way Bad confronted the disgraced Plumbers.
During an episode of Charles Zenith's reality game show "The Most Delicious Game" centered on Ben, several female Way Bads attacked the trapped contestants that had been disqualified in prior matches.

Notes[]
- Mutant To'kustars are generally inspired by famous anime characters, primarily Belial from the Ultraman franchise.[1]
- The male Way Bad with the secondary eye stalks heavily resembles the Eva Unit 0-1 from the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise.[1]
- The gothic female Way Bad resembles Scanty from the R-18 anime Panty Stocking with Garterbelt.
- The three-eyed male Way Bad with the helmet-mask resembles Andromon from the Digimon franchise.
- According to Phil Billings, the usually dangerous Null Void became even more dangerous ever since the mutant To'kustars were sent there.
