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?

It sounds like a lovely idea. Too bad I'm not likely to be breeding any pets anytime in the future.

This would be awesome! :D Would hybrids also have subspecies?

It sounds like a great idea, but I'm a little confused as to why they could only breed with other subspecies. If the both of the subspecies parents are Melos, it would seem to me that it could breed with other Melos.

I like this idea as long as it applies to hybrids too. Though, i think we should keep in mind of how backed up lbcs already as it is.

I like the idea but I would like it better if the subspecies lineart will never become customs.

Great idea! *forgive the lack of eloquence & ideas, but it's 6am here and I'm off to work, lol* XD

Mmm, I don't like this idea personally. There's enough different 'classifications' of pets (hybrids, ara, ay, custom-only, special pets like the Xaoc, SE...) that it's confusing enough already without adding subspecies. And it'll cause more work for new species as they'll have to have multiple linearts created. I dunno, no support.
