Card text
Whenever a creature you control mutates, put a +1/+1 counter on that creature and you gain 2 life.
The Ozolith's appearance spawned a new era of wild mutation on Ikoria. Some creatures hunted different prey, lived in new habitats, and thrived on mutation itself.

If Essence Symbiote mutates, its ability triggers.
You gain 2 life when Essence Symbiote’s ability resolves, even if you can’t put a +1/+1 counter on the mutated creature (most likely because it’s left the battlefield).
