I was staring at my sub male as he's just grown up, and admiring how big and sexy he is and it occurred to me that it would be an interesting addition to the game if there were varied body types.

They could vary in extremes of 'Scar build' being long and lean all the way to 'Mufasa build' being broad and heavy. The builds would be passed on by both Mother and Father, so if you have a very small lioness and a large male you can get anything along the size scale - it would also be interesting if females could die in the birth process.

Additionally the size of a lion would alter any fighting stats, assuming the fighting ever becomes more advanced (which would also be awesome). In the same vain the size of a lioness would determine her skill on the hunt, again if the hunting were to become more advanced - each build having both pros and cons.

All current Kings/lionesses would have the standard build so that they didn't have to be altered. There would also be the possibility of a new item which allows you to change the lions build, it could additionally be something edited in the lion customisation area.
