Breeding Subspecies

Pets

So, Frey and I were talking and came up with an idea: what if, with a very small percentage chance, an LBC breeding could result in a baby with an alternate lineart!

So the talk of subspecies has returned, but these are breeding mutations -- or babies that result in an alternate lineart due to the small percentage being achieved. The percentage would be 1% - 5% depending on the species.

Breeding subspecies would have these rules:
- They can only breed to other pets of that same lineart style (LBC)
- Customs would currently not be currently available of the breeding linearts, but possibly in the future. They're rare breeding occurrences!
- Users have the ability to select "no breeding subspecies" while initiating a breeding if they do not want their breeding to have a chance of resulting in a subspecies

What exactly is a subspecies?
A subspecies is a type of genus, like a melo, except that it has a different pose and looks slightly different from the original pet. For example, a subspecies of melo could be a fire melo, or a melo that's flaming from the feet and ears but is in a more action pose.

A breeding subspecies would take on the colors/edits of its parents directly onto the subspecies base, like normal breeding. So, if you bred a horned black melo with a winged red devil melo, you could presumably get a flaming subspecies melo that's black and red with wings and horns :D

Do you have subspecies ideas?
You can submit them here!



So what do you think of the idea of breeding subspecies? Do you have any ideas (aside from actual subspecies themselves) to make it cooler?

FINALLY! :D :D :D
You'll have to hire some subspecies breeding artists or something though.

I figured the LBC was based on species, due to hybrids. Not based on lineart due to the art of it.

This is a pretty neat idea :)

LBC is based on lineart. The only instance of different linearts being bred would be old vs new breedings for linearts. Otherwise, two different linearts has always been BC.

Sounds awesome. I think this idea would add to the site, and make it a bit nicer. Most pet sites don't have what Aywas has, and the subspecies thing would just add one more thing to that list. ^^
