So, for EM Contest, and I won on Mutant Type.
"These Tyrants all originally had the standard power of Nervejacking, but overwhelmed themselves by trying to use it too much or with too many targets. As a result they receive one of three variations on the same theme of mind control as well as a body appearance that resembles a neuron (brain cell). They are often stigmatized by other Tyrants for their supposedly incurable lack of tactical self-control, a key factor in the Tyrant's successful hold on the planet.
This is somewhat unfair, however, and in fact many Tentaculars learn from the mistake and gain greater self-control than the average Tyrant of other types. This is partially due to the fact that all three power varieties of Tentaculars can have even more severe consequences if they are overwhelmed, so they view their mutation as a second chance.
Sometimes the stereotype is true, however -- it's just that Tentaculars who don't learn restraint tend to fall into comas, die of "mind rotting," or be killed by unruly Rahi. Thus there is usually no third chance, so these Tentaculars tend not to last long.
Kahinuva: Infection
Infect sapient species with sickness and control Rahi, similar to a Makuta's infection ability, but using a mental link that is similar to a wireless connected computer virus. Users can learn to focus to create specific illnesses, and more complicated Rahi commands. Requires concentration; difficult to use on more than ten targets, and an overwhelmed user risks falling into a coma. Easier to use on Rahi.
Janaro: Mind Corruption
Remove free will of a weak-willed being and influence their actions. Not full-blown mind control, slightly more powerful in females. Repeated use can "rot" the mind of users and targets.
New info: Mind rotting tends to be a vicious circle; a rotted mind is less able to discern when they should stop using it, and severe rotting ends up in mindless hyperactivity, which usually results in accidental death. Only low levels of mind rotting are easily recovered from.
:Yami:: Beast Control
Most Tyrants have a low-level form of this, enabling them to more easily tame small Tanuuk animals and control large ones. This mutant variety gives them full control over 10-30 smaller beasts or 5-15 larger ones, depending on mental discipline and experience. High-level users' control sometimes slips, making target Rahi unruly and dangerous to other Rahi the user is controlling, other Tyrants, or even the user.
New info: These three powers are very similar and can be mistaken for each other, so here are some differences to keep in mind. Beast Control is the only one that cannot affect sapient beings. Infection is the only one that creates a "permanent" bond (if not removed by some means). And Mind Corruption is sort of an in-between of the two. Also, Infection requires the most difficult, slower focus on the target, Mind Corruption is still a process but faster, but Beast Control is instant with most Rahi.
Perhaps the easiest way to think of it is that Infection is like Makuta's infection of Rahi and sickening of the Po-Koronans in MNOG, Mind Corruption is like an evil version of the Noble Komau, and Beast Control is more like the Makuta's actual Rahi Control power."
