RP Text Blurbs for Newer Mutations!
We have added a ton of new, cute RP blurbs that your lions can display when you visit them.
The following have been updated:
- Deaf, with a unique female-only version
- Double Uterus, with two unique pregnant-only versions
- Mane Villous
- Tigons, with unique female-only, male-only, and first generation-only versions

More will be added in future updates for any mutations that are missing flavour texts!

New Raffle Backgrounds!

We have added in four new special lioness raffle-exclusive backgrounds to our weekly raffle lioness lottery! They will rotate each week, until they reach the amount of 11 to 12 in-game each, after which they will be retired to the Gorilla Enclave as usual when that time comes.
- Lake Nakuru, famous for its flamingos!
- Mount Kilimanjaro, the famous African mountain!
- Sunset Over the Serengeti, for those Lion King vibes!
- The Drakensberg, with its gigantic mountains and valleys!

The previous set of four backgrounds has been retired into the Gorilla Enclave for everyone to enjoy! These include [Raffle] Lake Malawi, [Raffle] Moroccan Dunes, [Raffle] Rwenzori, and [Raffle] Woodlands of Zanzibar.

New Eye Applicators!

The Gorilla Enclave also has two new Eye Applicators - Peacock and Richat!
Peacock is a colourful, less-noisy sibling to Bismuth. Richat, inspired by the Eye of Richat (of course), is a very sandy colour with additional rings.

Peacock Genetics
55% Peacock, 5% Blue, 5% Yellow, 5% Pink, 5% Green, 5% Red, 5% Sapphire, 5% Emerald, 5% Paradise, 5% Crystal.

Richat Genetics
45% Richat, 15% Black, 10% Jet, 10% Bronze, 10% Earth, 10% Smoke.

Gems?
Yeehaw! Every two years, we add a new set of gems. There are new gems dropping in explore now, which should prepare you for new applicators and jewelry decor sets for years to come! They are not yet available for crafting this year.

February will be the month of Dioptase and Rough Ruby.
July will be the month of Celestite and Meteorite.
November will be the month of Carnelian and Moss Agate.

Eye colours for gems are already prepared, but we've held back with designing bases for them, and are curious to see your suggestions for the following base applicators, based off of the gems Meteorite, Moss Agate, and Rough Ruby. We'll pick a design for Rough Ruby before 1st February! Invent some bases and post them in our Game art: Base/manebase ideas subforum!

Decors?
New Craftable Decors!!

You can now craft Fancy Mice into Nest of Mice decors!
