With the new addition of the primal mutations, the primals are getting a lot of love and will likely increase in price, if only slightly. Smilus and felis primals will be in high demand, but the poor piebalds will be left with nothing to show. This quite frankly sucks, considering all piebalds are descendents of a $50 USD applicator.

What I'm suggesting are special piebalds that can only be achieved through a rare chance while breeding piebalds together; combination piebalds. These would literally be just two piebalds on the same lion as one mutation (so all the art is already done), and would be labelled such as Combination Piebald (Mottled and Light), Combination Piebald (Mosaic and Heavy). Or alternitavely they could be labelled simply Piebald (Symmetrical and Mottled), Piebald (Light and Heavy).

Perhaps even breeding two of the same piebalds together could have a rare chance of a lethal mutation, similar to lethal white in horses and double merle in dogs? This mutation could maybe be labelled Piebald (Lethal White) or just Piebald (Lethal). I'd imagine it would die either after one or two rollovers, perhaps 3.
Edit: Ariento (#1923) suggested a mutation similar to blind/eyeless. I'd suggest this be another variant, in which the mutation isn't lethal but instead the eyes are small, underdeveloped, and useless. (Similar to this) The lion would live a normal life, likely be either all white or nearly all white, and wouldn't be able to hunt, patrol, or become king due to blindness.

This would bring up the value of piebalds, which would be great considering they're down to 3-7 GB per now, while the applicator is 200+ GB, which is a gigantic gap. As someone who purchased the applicator on Black Friday, it'd be great to be able to bring up the prices of piebald lions. As well, for the price that the applicator cost ($50 USD), we could currently purchase around 20 piebald lions for the amount of GB that we could get with $50 USD. It seems strange to me that a mutation like Primal that can be purchased with event currency has an expansion that makes it more valuable than a mutation that has origins in actual money. Plus, who doesn't love mutations? ;D

Everything's a pain to do though. Every single thing on this game is a pain to do coding and art wise, I fail to see why this would be any more work than making a new marking, which has to be custom drawn for every single pose and mutation. This just needs to be layered together in an art program. I could do it myself with a few clicks in the wardrobe and a few file saves, plus maybe a couple hours of clicking and saving in Clip Studio Paint.

I just don't see why this specifically is more of a pain than literally any other marking/mutation/base suggestion

Yeah ig but there would be how many combinations? 30 piebalds, and if you have a combo for each one, example: bisected x broken, bisected x clouded, bisected x corrupted, bisected x cracked, and it goes on and on. I personally just don't see why we need that many piebalds

i would love this! Support!

i find it frustrating that i started the game well into its development, and now that i have a handle of things, i've been breeding pies and patches, but the money into it vs the money out of it (unless just crb used) has been very frustrating.

i would love something to boost the economy, in that aspect. i also love the idea of a potential lethal mut when breeding two high white muts together!

question: would patches be included? and would it be restricted to pie x pie and patch x patch , or would pies x patches be included in your suggestion?

i like the idea of having a pie layered over a patch, or vice versa - there could maybe be even two "potential slots" when breeding a pie x pie , patch x patch, or pie x patch , that would determine which one is expressed over the other, think two layers on photoshop, with slot 1 being the topmost layer, and slot 2 being the bottommost layer!

Lilith, thank you for the support!! I made this before Patches existed, but yes I'd love to have them included as well. Whether it'd just be Pie x Pie/Patch x Patch or Pie x Patch would likely be up to the discretion of the admins, as they have to do the work aha, but imo it'd be cool to have Pie x Patch. To make it simpler, I'd say whichever is on top would be determined randomly. Ie when breeding Piabald x Patch, potentional pie/patch cubs would have four options; Piebald, Patches, combo Piebald over Patches, combo Patches over Piebald.

Though since all Piebalds and all Patches are the same colors, there'd be no need to have a Piebald over a Piebald so that would save some coding. Ie breeding Piebald x Piebald there would only be three options, Piebald 1, Piebald 2, combo Piebald.
