Mt. Taranaki, the regions namesake can be seen in the background. Every year at least one person (american tourist not applicable) dies on its slopes. This was a large problem for local tourism businesses as climbing the mountain became less and less desirasble. One can now commonly see tour guides eating roadkill on the sides of state highways as this has become the only viable food source for them. In the foreground is the large port district in New Plymouth. Although the average ratio of mutants to non-mutants in the area is several hundred times higher than anywhere else, their is no direct link between the constant chemicals links and this phenomenon. some contribute this to the mayor's secret desire to produce and army of mutants (being one himself) whom he can lead to global domination. However, this plan has not come to fruition and mutants can regularly be seen feeding on the tour guides who feast on the roadkill. And so a food chain is established.
