Cats can have an underbite, so their lower jaw is slightly extended out showing their bottom teeth! It should be only a small/mild underbite that can act kind of like an amp since in cats, the underbite is mild in kittens and gets worse as they get older. the idea is the underbite will develop from birth, only being a bit visible then getting more pronounced as it ages, since the fangs are failing to be aligned correctly. This could affect the cub's life span due to it having difficulty eating, so it'd be similar to blind/deaf mutated lions.
I suggest the lion could die around 4-5 years since the underbite would've gotten worse, making it near impossible to eat and giving it jaw discomfort.

Its like upside down primal fangs, but with a big chin to go with it.

[EDITED PART DUE TO FEEDBACK]
"No support for it being inheritable really since only a select few mutations are, and none similar that I can think of are passable like this in-game, but I like the rest of the idea!
Even if a mutation is genetic irl, Lioden tends to stray from that to keep the rarity intact." -Leon. thank you for explaining why you dont support. I understand that pretty much so im gonna make it so its non passable without the use of lion scrots, is that better?


Feel free to critisize or make suggestions! and PLEASE tell me why you dont/do support!

Flavour text ideas:

[CUB NAME] is trying to tussle with some other cubs, but they cant seem to get a grip with their mutated fangs!

[CUB NAME] looks particularly mad at you. But you can't really take them seriously because of the way their little teeth stick out from their maw as they glare at you grumpily.

You notice [CUB NAME] sitting down staring at the ground sulkily. You ask them what happened, and they said another cub had been teasing them, and said they look stupid. Aww. You reassure them that they look very clever, and their bottom teeth make them look STRONG!

[Cub] keeps biting the older cubs and trying to bonk them with their chin. Is that allowed?

You go to check on [cub] only confined them staring down a zebra leg and licking their muzzle longingly.

You wake up to [Cub] asking if you could chew their food for them. Ew. You somehow agree because... who could say no to that face?


(After training)
Success:
You are surprised to see that [Cub] actually got the best of their opponent. They say that they bonked the other cub with their huge chin until they quit. Hmm.

Failure:
After watching [Cub] get beat up by the other cub, you console them by giving them their favorite food. Well, after chewing it for them.
(Thanks rainstorm)

Edited:
-Anon is trying to tussle with some other cubs, but they always seem to slip out of her grasp!

-Anon looks particularly mad at you. But you can't really take her seriously when she’s pouting like that.

New:
You notice Anon staring down a stick, when you approach her she grumbles about not being able to grab it.



I only edited two because the others were good not saying that the ones I edited are bad I just think they could’ve been touched up

(other flavour text ideas from other lovely people)
As you look across the savanna, you see [Lioness] trying to hunt an antelope. She can't seem to get a good grip, and the prey escapes. You console [Lioness] later by hunting it for her.

Birth message?

As you look at [Mom name]'s cubs in delight, you notice one of them can't seem to get a lot of milk in his/her mouth. That's not good.

Suggested ideas:
Maybe it has a small-to-medium debuff in the strength or stamina stats since a lion w/ an underbite would have more trouble biting and holding onto stuff?

-Ash (Here bc of
Ashe) (#453371)-

Maybe it could have a specific issue where it gets more hungry than other lions, since they can't eat well? Like instead of their hunger dropping by 10%, it'd be like 15% or smth?

Rejected ideas for this mut:
Underbites are a genetic trait in cats, so it COULD be a passable mutation with around 5% chance of passing to offspring?
-reason for rejection:
Not many natural passable muties
