This has been suggested before twice, but the community always seems split on it. Reasons against it being "genetics already doesn't have enough to do", powergaming concerns about smaller hitboxes and the compression being visually jank.
All that being said, I am still also vehemently for its inclusion. These issues don't change the fact that it's something people would like to have, it personally seems like all the "issues" that arise from it are a separate problem. I support inclusion as a simple trait rather than a race for a multitude of reasons, first namely being it allows people more freedom and secondarily, I think it's better for the game's visual clarity if we make mutant races visually very distinct from one another, and dwarves, much like elves, are too similar to "human" for someone to tell them apart. Lastly of course, we are working on the mute race rework and until then this idea would have to be shelved anyway, but this is not true for the trait.
