Mutant Assassins are creatures unique to The Witcher.

Mutation and training makes witchers excellent killers. The problem is their conscience, which prevents them from carrying out political assassinations or causing terror among common folk. The laws of the market say that if there is demand, it must be satisfied as soon as possible, which is why Salamandra created the mutant assassin.
