Major edit! I don't stand by ANY of these ideas any new re ( minus the lion with teeth growing from it's head as later I will go into depth about it ) as all of these popped into my head late at night and I didn't really care if it worked in game or not as sleepy brain normally cuts out that thought process! But ty for explaining why most of these would be absolute ass to add ( and from a coder perspective I 100% agree it would be torment to add )


So i had a thought cause I was talking with a buddy who also likes muties , so we thought " hey what if some lethal mutations have a variant where they survive or have a longer life span? " so here are my examples with sketches! I also have reasons + resources, plus a few more mutation ideas! sorry if the images are HUGE I forgot to shrink them and not all of them have images as not much would change! all of these had help of my friend Mercutio on here :] he is a bio nerd

the first 8 have the example sketch images I would have made them detailed but I just wanted to get this idea out there fast!

1, multiple limbs! - survivable
this one will have an extra limb ALWAYS in the middle of the body! they will not drag they are just smaller lil legs!


2, conjoined twin connected at tail variant!- survivable
In this variation, they are connected at the tip of the tail and will keep a similar pose to the cub form of the normal conjoined twin so the tail is visible! They could possibly have a chance of getting a random health message where the tail gets cut off so they both would still be " one " lion with the conjoined mutation with a scar and docked tails. my reasoning is, as I don't know how health messages work if one day a player logs on they won't be upset that one left and they must buy it back if they didn't have room!


3, one eye!- survivable
this lion just has a missing eye at birth! there is still a socket but no eye? ( could be skinned over or just a socket?? the example is skinned over )


4, elongated dewclaw!- survivable
this lion is born with a longer bigger dewclaw!
" is that a thumb? "


5, teeth growing from the head!- survivable
this idea came from an Idaho mountain lion that was killed and found to have teeth that grown from it's head that looks like horns?


6, cleft plate variation- still lethal but will live till adolescent, possibly adult
with this mutation, they can 100% live till adolescent and again possibly adult. if they make it to adult they get the same message as when they die as an adolescent, If they do not make it to adult there is a message the day or so before they pass where you can freeze them!
the message: " Cub/lion seems sick. there is something wrong with it's breathing. "

7, two head variation- survivable to a degree. same rules as deaf or blind WILL die around 4-5 years
with this variation, they ALWAYS have a chance of dying around 2 years 9 months giving time for if it's a lioness to breed! she will never die during pregnancy and feeding her new cubs. if you breed the lioness the day the message pops up that she's sick and will die next rollover, the day after her cubs grow up to where she doesn't need to feed them anymore the message will reappear.

8, ACTUALLY wings- survivable, can be passed down, and mixed!
i think it would be kinda cool to make a legacy of heirs with this mutation! It's literally just wings cause it could be cool!


9, NOW the grand finally our Lil mix mutation idea so here is how it might work just by us observing the game for the short time we have played!
ALL mutations will be separated into the following categories, things in the same categories can not mix, and fur/mane mutations are not listed as they might have different rules+ that can't logically be put in any of these!

" Base " mutations:
ALL primal types
all hybrids

" Physical " mutations:
all lethal
all non-lethal

" Patter" mutations:
all piebalds
all patches

in general, all " base " mutations can not have ANY mane/hair mutations as we have seen not even mane types show up.

Please be aware we came up with these for fun and to just throw some ideas to the wall! We do not claim to be the original makers of any of these ideas as we just were talking and came up with these ideas, and as a coder myself I know how hard some of these might be to code! So feel free to take these as they are, ideas! ( * cough * please add VSD * cough */j ) AND please give me feedback on what you think of these, please tell us if anyone has thought of these before!

Small little edit cause I was just thinking of it: if you specifically do not like the idea of adding VSD ( I deleted this from the post )

Edit 2: please read my comment as I talk about how I agree with the less lethal/non lethal mutations being kinda out there and shouldn't be added!
