At the end of 2019, The Witcher suddenly became famous thanks to the TV series on Netflix.
The Witcher, no matter which version, follows Geralt of Rivia – a professional monster hunter who travels across the Continent to hunt monsters.
Of course, because it is a fantasy universe, the witcher’s superpowers are almost fictional, and writer Andrzej Sapkowski can arbitrarily `draw deer and monkeys` for his character.
The Trial of Grasses mutation process is essentially just a process of changing genes in the body.
Cat eyes help the witcher see through the night
Although witchers often have to take vision-enhancing drugs when fighting in caves or super dark environments, basically their cat eyes are already much sharper than humans.
In addition, cat eyes also have tapetum lucidem pigment cells – a thin layer of tissue located behind the retina.
We humans do not have a tapetum lucidum, so to become a witcher will require an extremely complicated process of cell change.
Great muscle strength
Because Science says that in order for Geralt, or any other witcher, to be strong enough to fight monsters, they need mutagen – a term that refers to changes and mutations in human cells, DNA and genes.
Inside a human chromosome there is the MSTN gene with the ability to encode a protein called myostatin – which plays an important role in controlling muscle gain.
Super resilient physical foundation
However, just being strong is not enough, the witcher also needs to have full strength and endurance to facilitate fighting as well as wandering around.
Basically, the more red blood cells circulating, the more oxygen the human body receives and can perform better physically, be more resilient, and do more heavy work, like swinging a sword to slash monsters, for example.
The ability to withstand attacks and recover from wounds super fast.
Witcher can heal some minor injuries such as cuts, burns or bruises in a super short period of time.
There are many factors in the development of the body such as the development of endothelial blood vessels, chemical compounds, and proteins involved in this process.
The aging process happens super slowly
In the book and game versions, Geralt appears as a middle-aged man only about 40 – 50 years old.
For a normal person, the most common hypothesis about aging is that as we get older, the body suffers more damage, the recovery process slows down, or even stops completely.
First of all, you need to understand the definition of free radicals – the cause of all human diseases.
It doesn’t sound like much of a problem, but harm also comes from there.
The hypothesis that Because Science proposes is that Geralt as well as other witchers have mutated their bodies to prevent or slow down this oxidation process (in other words, to help the oxygen in the body from losing electrons).
Those are the scientific bases that Because Science has given to explain Geralt’s mutant body.
