Your face bears a sightly beak.

You occasionally peck at your opponents.
+200 reputation with birds
Beak is a mutation that grants one of the following natural equipment variants on the character's face:
The natural body equipment will be seen if nothing is equipped in the Face body slot (similar to how an empty hand has a "fist"). This beak is weightless and provides no 
AV or 
DV. When the player selects the Beak mutation, they can also Customize it by pressing "C" during character creation to select the variant of beak they would like. The options are: Beak, Bill, Rostrum, Frill, or Proboscis. Mechanically, these variants are identical to each other, but they will alter the name of the natural body equipment in the face slot.
The beak functions as a 4 
11 natural weapon with a 20% chance of being used as an extra weapon when performing a melee attack, but can only be used this way if the face with the beak is not occupied by equipment. Growing extra faces through mutations such as 
Two-headed or 
Chimera will not result in extra beaks.
Some facial appendages are so sightly, scattering light like the prismatic loam or curving toward geometric bliss. But there are many others.

Trivia
This mutation used to be a -1 point physical defect that decreased ego by 1 and took up a face slot. The description was "Your face bears an unsightly beak." Once the mutation was reworked to be positive instead, the beak description was modified to be "sightly".
