I support because come on , lions wouldn't just walk straight pffft hellooooooo they'd be like :

"HAH PATHS ? SCREW THE PATH I SHALL VENTURE WHEREVER I AM LION FEAR MEEEEE"

I have a few ideas for this . What if theres two paths and a sortve wander option that leads you into the brush ? Paths one and two being varied versions of eachother and then the wander option would lead to more NPCs and such which would be awesome for those trying to level up in some field or make some SB since NPC battles give currency when won . Though it could also lead to the lion being attacked by things and losing hunger and stuff so that way theres still a negative route for it and it isnt all fun and gain .
Things that could happen :
-jumped by a trio of hyenas
-attacked by a male rhino
-attacked by a bull elephant protecting its herd
etc.

These wouldnt be battles, they'd be definite run ins where you'd have a couple options, one losing energy and hunger, and another where you'd simply be chased off . They'd be random of course .
As for more options for current NPCs Id like to see the males be able to just sit and play with certain ones or regarding the cub I think he should be able to 'mentor' it and gain something from it or just have a cute little remark after .

I like this idea c:
