Okay, lioden is wierd. Sometimes, REALLY wierd. Like how the gorilla enclave takes in cubs, but also sells lion meat. Weird. And the mandrill doesnt like the quest snake. Weird. And the "rare" and "special" bases are odd colours. But the "normal-coloured" ones aren't. Also, there are wierd looking "lions" on Xylax's account. Wierd. And there are "primal" mutations, while most of the other mutations are real, or plausible, or exist in cats. Wierd. And the fact that you can seduce any lioness with a single flower, named after a Leopard.Not a lion, but lion's sworn enemy.

Wierd.

One thing that really sticks out to me is that the fact that these things don't really connect to anything important. These things all seem out of place. But the reason they are is simple.

Exploiation.
and gorrilas.

Specifically the gorilla enclave. The very first point.

You see, gorillas are normaly not hostille, but seem that way due to body language cues, like staring and such. They are also very big and strong, are more manouverable, with big arms to swing and hit. The big ones in the gorilla enclave could kill lioden lions on a one-on-one battle. So why not little cubs? But if any lion would do for lion meat, why have requirements? Unless they needed the for other things... Like how they sell aplicators. But getting lions with those exact markings would be difficult. But gorillas are't stupid. They know they are trapped in a game, and use this to their advantage, to exploit the code of the game and manipulate it to give them the exact cubs they need. But, the first tests didn't go so well, but they learned a lot. They discovered primals, a "first-gen" lion form an older version of the game. And to make applicators more appeling, they add bright colours, which explains why the rare and special bases are coloured that way.

However, they are not the only ones. Situated in the trees, the quest snake is able to see this, use it to his advantage. The mandrill, of course, isn't very happy with this, and thinks the snake is stealing.

During the 'fails' the gorillas move the 'fails' to another account, to store them. That account has xylax's wierd lions.It was xylax.

Now, the flower. Something that would defiently appeal to main males. Instant seduction flower. But the snake gets to it before they do, and they abandon the idea as a result of too many 'fails'. The snake, not wanting to get into trouble with the mandrill again, sells the exploitation to a lioness who thinks its a god-given gift, and a secrect. She travels to sell it, along with other things shes 'been gifted' by the snake.
