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?

Ooh~ I'm actually getting quite excited about these subspecies. It would make the range of poses, at the very least, more... varied...? XD I'm excited to see what gets accepted.

This does get very confusing; does this mean I can't breed my Deadtail Melo with a regular Melo without a BC now? Seems unfair... I'd sooner just stick to the LBC for all "Melo" breeding - subspecies or no. If you want new critters, make full-out new species; not new subspecies, maybe?
