-Vestigial Twins-
Aka a less severe extra limb mutation
Please note that some of these images/links/information may contain mentions of mutations some may find disturbing

:Vestigial twins:
A vestigial twin is a form of parasitic twinning, where the parasitic "twin" is so malformed and incomplete that it typically consists entirely of extra limbs or organs. It also can be a complete living being trapped inside the host person. People with parasitic twinning can live to adulthood with few complications.

Appearance:
A less severe version of the extra limb mutation. Maybe less legs, legs in a more livable placement, paws. This is basically just asking for another version that could potentially survive to adulthood.

:life span:
Unlike the current extra limbs mutation (Which is vestigial twinning) I suggets that we have a version that can live to adulthood. There are several documented cases of animals with extra limbs surviving to adult hood. such as: a cougar with an extra paw, cows with extra legs, cats with extra legs, and many other examples of adult animals with parasitic twins. Possibly an increases risk of the lion/ess suddenly dying.

:Penalties:
Unable to hunt and a decrease in the lion’s stats (maybe specifically speed and agility).

:message:
^altered from extra limbs^
Birth
"Your lioness notices her cub is different to all the others. They have a little extra limbs! She's a little worried but the cub curls up and suckles milk nicely."

I like this idea but I think it should be exclusively cosmetic, especially if it ends up looking like your concept pic since I feel like extra limbs in that area wouldn’t prevent a lion from doing anything and wouldn’t really put them at any greater risk than lions without it.

support! the extra limbs mut makes me sad so this is kinda bittersweet cause it doesnt effect everyday life. maybe making the art more simple would be easier to make, like how og claws and tongue was moreso an add-on then redrawing lineart/colors/markings/etc

Total support! This reminds me of Toad- the dog who had a mouth in one ear, and the cougar caught with teeth growing out of its head! Heck Toad was 5 when she was found and is apparently still alive today!
I think a hunting penalty would be a good idea, like you said, however the cougar was an adult from what I’ve seen so maybe even not that possibly a small stat debuff!
I definitely agree with the focus on cosmetics, and reusing linearts like og fur!!
