Line 110:
** Then there was Yawgmoth, a firm believer that strength came from conflict. And then he created a biomechanical hell named Phyrexia where [[Cybernetics Eat Your Soul]].
*** As of New Phyrexia, three of the five Phyrexian factions are this to varying degrees. Jin-Gitaxias of the Blue faction is one to the greatest extent (the name of his faction, The Progress Engine, is saying something). The leaders of the Green Vicious Swarm, Vorinclex and Glissa, are all about "encouraging" natural selection instead, via extreme predation and survival of the fittest. And the White Machine Orthodoxy wishes to either unite all beings into one ''[[Body Horror|(by stitching them all together!)]]'' or to transform them all into "perfect" soulless dolls. The two factions not concerned with this are the Black Seven Steel Thanes (who are too occupied trying to slit each other's throats over becoming the new [[The Chosen One|Father of Machines]]) and the Red leader of the Quiet Furnace, Urabrask the Hidden, who just wants everybody else to leave him and his servants in peace.

** To a greater extent, Tzeentch, the Master of Change. His entire existence is based on evolution, so his followers enjoy having random "gifts" happening at any moment (read: every moment). Which leads into...
** An aversion by Ahriman, who turned the entire Thousand Sons legion (the ones loyal to Tzeentch) into living coffins to STOP the mutations/evolution. Needless to say, he is not well liked, even among the Thousand Sons. Well, to be fair to Ahriman, he wasn't ''trying'' to turn his fellow Thousand Sons into mindless automatons with his Rubric, but rather to simply stop the mutations from which his Legion was suffering. The fact that his buddies (aside from the Legion's most powerful sorcerers) got turned into walking suits of armour was an unfortunate by-product of his spell.
** Sar Resque, a Magos Biologis who in an attempt to create [[Ubermensch]] designed and released on a colony a plague inducing somewhat less than completely random mutations. She was declared heretek and excommunicated by Cult Mechanicus, but they managed to catch only some of her followers. The worst part is, she wasn't the only one, but built upon her predecessors' notes. The plague proved to be hard to wipe out even despite the Imperium's habit of purging with fire everything and everyone.
* Dr. Mara Omokage, in ''[[GURPS]] Bio-Tech'' and ''[[Transhuman Space]]''.
