What is polycoria?
Polycoria is an eye condition that causes two or more pupils in the iris. It can be congenital or diagnosed later in life. It can also cause abnormally long eyelashes and poor vision, as seen in my mock-up below.



How would it function?
The exact same as blindness, as an overlay over the eye genetics. The lion would not be able to hunt, patrol, or be kinged, but they would still be able to have cubs and pass on their mutation. I suppose this mut could also be obtained by CRB.

What would flavor text look like?
Polycoria can be congenital or diagnosed later in life, however I have chosen to present this mutation as one visible from birth. Although it would also work as an AMP.
Birth: [CUB NAME] squirms in the opposite direction from [HIS/HER]'s mother's belly. Silly cub!

1 Month: [CUB NAME]'s mother looks worried, so you walk over. She points to [CUB NAME]'s eyes and you gasp. [CUB NAME]'s eyes are malformed and have multiple pupils!

2 Months: [CUB NAME] seems to be doing just fine, despite [HIS/HER]'s poor vision. Unfortunately, [HE/SHE] will never be able to hunt or patrol.

2 Months - Death: You and [LION NAME] are taking a walk together and chatting, but [HE/SHE] bump into a very large, obvious rock. [HE/SHE] laughs it off and the both of you continue.

[LION NAME] accidentally walks into thorn patch. Ouch! You check on them a few hours later and they're fine, just sore!

Does this actually happen in real life?
Yes! Below the spoiler are some real images of animals and humans with polycoria. VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED!
