Tree of Life Fruit.

Niven's version.

Poor, unlucky super-lucky what's-her-name, mutated into a hyperintelligent, hyperstrong inhuman (or superhuman) beast. I did not really like Niven's books, his protagonist, or almost anything about his stories besides the actual ring structure itself, but she was an interesting character, with a satisfyingly tragic end.

More like superhuman mutant grandparent... Ugh hope you didnt just read ring world series - id strongly recommend to avoid those ones. In general the shrt story compilations are pretty good.  ( altho id note that the majority of stories done in the known universe setting are done by other authors.). The third and 4th kzin war eras are quite a bit more entertaining.

Would not want to find under bed;

Xerxes.



Edit: the lady that was mutated (technically not a mutation, any more than the human race is a mutation of the original species)- she committed suicide, or as close as she could get herself to do so.
