Edit: we’ve got an Amorphous Globosus CD coming! I’ll link the CD page when it’s approved!

trying to get a decor for this through soon!
Amorphous Globosus only occurs in twins (so likely could only happen with a lioness pregnant with two cubs?) and it pretty much just makes one baby a ball. no joke. just a hair ball.
it would be pretty useless (and honestly i’m not even sure it would work bc the balls aren’t sentient or alive they’re just meat and fur sacks that are sometimes filled with meat, bones, and organs) but I think it would be interesting
The other cub wouldn’t be affected, of course
there isn’t much research at all of this (bc it’s so rare) but maybe an in-game effect is that the other cub has a higher chance of being mutated, or no in-game affect at all to the sibling cub.

Edit:
I said this before in the original posting, for the sake of realism I think this would only happen in cases of 2+ cub litters. So far this condition has only been found in twin pairings. it wouldn’t be an issue to add it to single cub litters though, as plenty of mutations and other aspects of the game go against reality a bit.
After doing a bit more research, there may have been a case of Amorphous Globosus in humans! I cant find an article on it, so I’m not 100% sure that this is real, so please take it with a grain of salt

A couple people suggested having the “cub” as a decor/inventory item when they die. The people i can find that said this (or a similar idea) are Pienut #191227, TheGreatVixen #137519, PunkJesus666 #261737, Mewflakes #88492, Kiwi #137587

D-Chan #249794 suggested that using CRB/lion meat/GMO cow + a GOP would increase the chances of getting this mutation
adding onto this myself: Since the deformity is commonly found in livestock, maybe it could only have a chance of occurring if a GMO is used?

King Crow #64045 suggested the mutation only being able to be breedable on april fools day

ThinkerMouse (he/they) #247874 has suggested that if it doesn’t become a mutation, it could be a breeding item that increases chances of a mutation when eaten (but instead of a lion cub, it would be a cow) similar to lion meat or a GMO cow

Pop-up messages:
"Your lioness notices her [name]... They're not even a cub, are they? It's just a ball of flesh! She's not sure what to do with it."
-London #132548

"(lioness) had a strange birth. What almost seemed like a hairball had come out of the wrong end. It appears to be moving, though weakly."
-- Sol (check online date) #132333

“[Name] calls you over in a panic, gesturing to her new cubs. The first one seems fine and is sleeping peacefully, but the other... Where is it's legs? It doesn't even have a face or a head, but it writhes in pain. Gods, help it...”
-D-chan #249794

gonna end this edit by saying I 100% understand not supporting because the mutation is technically not alive, but saying it is unrealistic or “too disturbing” is a reach, considering the majority of existing lethals are stillborn at birth. and as multiple people below have pointed out, this mutation isn’t any more disturbing than harlequin or cyclopia. I think the birth of a glorbosus cub would be handled as a tragedy the way other lethals are, but in a community sense I like all the jokes people have come up with and I hope we can keep having fun with the idea

If I’ve missed any serious dialogue ideas or have missed crediting somebody please tell me! and if you have any more ideas for it feel free to jot down any!



This suggestion has 564 supports and 145 NO supports.

I think the worst part of implementing this would honestly be the markings. Another poster brought up a while ago that there’s no way to really gauge what the “head” is since it doesn’t have one. The base would have to cut off at the stomach as well (since no legs) which would kinda defeat the point of certain bases whose major contrast is in the points (outlaw as an example) so maybe a good way to go around this is to have player-made interpretations or only using the mid-body sections of the base. I can work on mock-ups in the next couple days for the more difficult bases, but eventually I wanna go ahead and do all bases.
Markings may not be able to be implemented at ALL, or would follow the same rules. I’ll also pick out a couple sets of markings to work on for this

Regardless, I do wanna know what bases people would want as a custom decor! I was thinking of doing all the green bases (moss agate specifically) and then doing basic common bases. Preferably id like to pick out a solid 5 bases to work with for the CD

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the idea! But I have a suggestion to implement this in a not birth related way

It could be a random encounter in explore with a farmer that has two options, one option sends you on your way (basically opting out of getting it, for those who don't like it)

Option two would have a chance of giving you a calf Caracas, but a small percent chance of giving you a globulus decor item! It could come in a couple colors like reddish, brown, or black and white (different common cow colors)

Ofc this is just a fun suggestion! I still really think globulus is silly and I must support for that

I’ve had some similar suggestions! I’m honestly really liking the idea of it being a decor!
I’m loving the idea of a farmer interaction, I think it’s a great alternative to those saying it wouldn’t fit in well with the current lethal list we’ve got ^^

Plus I think it could have really fun text! Something about seeing a farmer helping his cow give birth or just seeing a cow give birth without the farmer.

You can either leave the cow alone, or attempt an easy meal!

If you get the calf then, yay, food, but if you get the glob it could have a really funny text! Something like "yuck-! What you think is an easy meal ends up being a blob of... Something! You've lost your appetite, but decide to bring it home. Maybe your cubs might like it."

Or possibly the farmer leaving the “calf” in the field/tossing it over the fence to avoid any of the cows attempting to mother it, and either the players lion stumbles on it or finds a cub playing with it!
I think there’s plenty of little encounters that could work for it ^^

One way around the marking issue is to instead go with a fleshy, hairless ball instead of the cub having any fur. Much like the harlequin, there would be no variation between cubs. However, I'd imagine that that would be a bit too much for a lot of people, especially if it was fleshy, not to mention you wouldn't be able to do anything especially creative with individual cubs.

I do support the idea of this being a regular lethal that dies within a month with no additional gimmicks. Of course, Lioden's version wouldn't accurately reflect the real-world equivalent, as those are very much not alive, but it does sound very interesting. Perhaps Lioden's could have some organs and somehow an ability to breathe, if only barely. Not very developed, but more developed than the real-world version for the sake of it working as a lethal mutation.

I like the idea!! There’s technichally cases of Amorphous Globosus fetuses being born with a head (or parts of one, like the muzzle), but so far no functional organs, so I def understand the “it’s not alive in the first place” sentiment

I like your fix for it! for the markings, I was thinking of having it maybe programmed as showing only the “body” portion for marks, but since I don’t code and don’t know the code LD uses, im not gonna stick to that idea firmly ^^
Definitely like the idea of it being hairless so no markings would be coded, I can’t imagine it would be any worse than the buffalo and lion scrotum items, but in this case I think it could definitely take a more disturbing artwork turn than id want it to take, being on par or worse than harlequin. Maybe they could have a set “half-furred” look to them like some of the IRL fetuses, with it only showing the base color and not advanced markings, with the excuse that it didn’t develop enough for the pigments to appear in the fur?

I doubt it will be added but if it does i’d be fine with any way the devs add it, as little work for them would be the best in my eyes ^^

I think when i’m home i’ll take a little bit to go ahead and draw up a couple versions of what I think it could look like!
