Would Chaos mutations on husk be comparable to the special zombies in like Dying Light or Left for dead or is it smaller mutations?

Yes, but not with any kind of magic. Body modifications comes from black magic, it’s a specialty of some witches.
Polymorphy is extremely rare and it’s usually an innate gift, or very limited. And it depends on what type of polymorphy you’re thinking of. Turning into animals can potentially be achieved by any druid or shaman of a a spirit animal, but saying it’s damn hard is quite an understatement and even mastering turning into a raven or a cat can take several years, maybe even a few decades.
It’s considered one of the hardest disciplines in magic.
Kind of. But like I said husks can’t really mutate naturally, though you can use fleshmelding abilities to alter them. (And it won’t change the fact that most husks aren’t able to do complicated tasks)
Not really, not for long at least. You can deflect it, but containing it is impossible. Chaos will eventually erode all bounds and destroy all attempt at containment. It’s just a matter of time. The best you can do is shield places or people from chaos temporarily.
It’s not evil just… misunderstood. How dare you shun it for its strange customs and sense of hospitality?
Seriously though, this is spot-on, and it’s probably one of the least worse down there.

I’m just imagining the WK managing to stop the spread of chaos (unlikely to happen I know) and the Lovecraftian Elder gods show up

And possibly teaming up with the elder gods of love craft.

Chaos can’t be stopped, because it is in all things. Anyone with a little insight wouldn’t want to stop it anyway. In this world chaos isn’t an evil force, it’s natural, it’s the primal force of the universe at the heart of all energy, of change and ephemerality. You can find chaos in magic, but you can also see it in fire, in light, in emotions, in mortal life… Fighting chaos is like fighting gravity. Everything is born from chaos and everything returns to chaos eventually.
It might be harmful in some cases, especially when chaos is too strong and the corruption spreads too far. But fighting chaos only makes it stronger, it’s a pointless, losing battle.
Why does everyone want to team up with the unspeakable entities?

I was imagining Chaos to be mostly harmful but now it’s sorta like the Dark in darksouls sometimes does bad things but for the most part just existing

Well it IS very harmful, get too close to the flames and they will devour you. But you can’t live without it. It’s just neither good or bad. Like with most things, it is excess that leads to harm.
Demons are the living embodiment of chaos in excess, they embody concepts that are not inherently bad but twisted beyond recognition by excess into wicked obsession.

Is there anything opposite to Chaos like Order which has Angels or other things and Chaos and Order or whatever fight each other?

It’s more complicated than that. Stone erodes, steel corrodes, Order crumbles. Order can’t stand against chaos, because of entropy, anything that stands will fall. But Order and Chaos can’t exist without the other. So there’s no basic “fight” between order and chaos, they naturally tend toward each other and coexist, not necessarily peacefully but they coexist.
Some would say angels and demons are the same in the end, they’re each other’s defomed reflection and can’t exist without the other. Like symptoms of the relationship between chaos and order.

Because they have awesome powers! And I really want the MC to say: “My allies are is an incomprehensible beings. Who have powers are beyond good, beyond evil, who are capable of things beyond your wildest imagination. Do you think you have a chance against me?”
And being friends with them too. I don’t care what you say @bl00dragon I’m going to try to befriend them!

Thanks to the fact that they are ancient beings that are not bound to morality and possess nigh unlimited power, amongst all of these ancient god-like entities at least one of them are bound to be a cool lad/lass that can not only help us but also be a good friend of which you can go to its non-euclidian home and play D&D with both him/her and probably their minions of unspeakable chaos while your forces prepare to fight against all those who dare oppose you. I also want an eldrich friend

Why did I picture a super ancient entity of godly power as a 12 year old tired of being treated like a little kid, and were the only one that is perfectly fine with drinking a frothy ale with them and chowing down on candy destroying anyone who is rude.
I think there has been to many anime with that same ungodly power in a little one this may be why. Hell of a hilarious trope.

The Wight King is already threatening enough without having to serve the old ones. Better tell the templars to prepare for trouble and make it double.
If you want to be turned into a Silent Hill-worthy abomination it’s your call. Tbh, even Silent Hill wouldn’t want the Wight King turning into an abomination on its turf.
Trust me, there’s nothing good in the abyss. Nothing. I cannot stress it enough.
Eh, to be honest I tend to find that trope rather annoying, especially when it goes nowhere like in Dragon Ball Super. An eternally young abyssal despot? Alright, but make them feel like it, and not some divine brat that can be manipulated into submission with sweets.

Getting back to the WK’s reality – I’d want to make sure the abyss could never erupt into the lands and peoples under my protection. I’d make common cause with the Templars if I had to.
It doesn’t mean that I’d stop working to overtake them as well, but in this case, the abyss is the one threat I would be most afraid of.
