So i've been seeing a common theme here. How about we change it up?
I did my research while doing this!

------------------------------------------------
These are the ones I want to add and why!
------------------------------------------------
Runt
__
Having Runt be one of the mutation ideas would be a good Idea because every once in a while a lion would give birth to a healthy normal sized cub but then give birth to a smaller more weaker cub. This would be the runt of the litter. The mother would pay more attention to the smaller cub. This only happens if they Lioness gives birth to 2 or more cubs.
===================================================
Hyposmia
__
Having Hyposmia be one of the future mutations would be a good Idea because the mom would give birth to healthy cub(s). They would just have a harder time hunting. Their main purpose wouldn't be hunting. Since they can't smell that well they would be mainly used for Looks, Breeding or Broodmothering.
===================================================
Hip Dysplasia
__
Having Hip Dysplasia would be a great Future mutation because when a cub is born with this mutation they will have troubles walking. As they grow older they start to waddle or limp because of how painful it is. This would make them have a decrease in strength.
===================================================
Club Foot
__
Having Club Foot in the future would benefit more visual deformities that a cub could have. It would be visible at birth. One foot would be curved outwards. It would happen very rarely 1 out of 500 cubs.
===================================================
Erythrism
__
Having Erythrism as a future mutation will give variety to the visible mutations like Piebald, Melanism and Albinism. Erythrism also makes more red in the fur. There is just a bit too much red pigment going on with both parents that would make this happen.
===================================================
Leucism
__
Having Leucism as a future mutation would show the difference between it's self and Albinism. Albinism is an absence of Melanin. Leucism is a partial loss of pigmentation which would make them be a very light color of their fur. This would have the same rarity as Albinism and Melanism .
===================================================
Extra Vertebrae
__
Having this as a mutation would be a good way to show the variants from a regular healthy lion and a dwarf. The lion would be a bit longer because of the extra bones in their spine.
===================================================
Crooked Tail
__
Having this as a mutation would make it for more opportunities for people to see if they have this defect. It would mostly be common in cubs my can be found in Adols and sometimes in Adults. Some NCL's could have it as well!
===================================================
Extra Toes
__
Having this be a mutation will increase a cub's strength and agility. It would also be a visible mutation.
===================================================
Cerebellar Hypoplasia
__
Having this as a mutation would only allow the lion to have it live for 1 year. That being that their brain didn't develop properly it would make it nearly impossible for them to survive on their own. This would be a Lethal mutation.
===================================================
Hydrocephalus
__
I think this would make a great mutation because like Cerebellar Hypoplasia, it would be something with the brain. When the cub is born there is excess fluid in the Ventricles of the brain. Having the Ventricles increased in size it would put pressure on the brain. It would cause Vision problems along with hunting problems. It would also cause Epilepsy episodes making a fatal fate for them. They would live to be 6 months before passing to a fatal seizure.
