Obtaining a LeoponFor starters, we must explain where leopons come from. The very literal story is when a daddy leopard and mommy lion somehow fall in love, (you put all the panther on her, so don't blame him entirely!), they sneak away on a moonlit rendezvous and return with an adorable bastard tucked inside your lioness' belly. Since the smug leopard is both charming and an asshole, he decides you should raise his spawn in your pride while he goes off to woo more obnoxiously spotted lionesses. As a result, you end up with a hybrid. The in-game truth is a bit simpler. Leopons begin as rare mutations. Any fertility can produce a mutation and, theoretically, a leopon. However, lower fertilities are more likely to produce both mutations and leopons in general. Mutation items such as GMO Cows, (September event item), Lion Meat, (January event item), and Cotton Root Bark, (Oasis item), can also increase your chances. Leopons are a very rare mutation along with dwarfism as compared to a common one such as achromia. They are born like a regular cub into your den, but are accompanied with the following text: This litter brought a small surprise: a cub that is different to normal lion cubs. Upon questioning - in fear of being chased or killed - the lioness admits to a small rendezvous with a leopard when she was in heat... The cub is a hybrid! What will you do now!? However, this is where the similarities end. Leopons are in their own mutation class called hybrids which have their own genetic system. It bares explaining that Instant birthing your lioness will not affect and/or change your chances of getting a leopon. This is determined the instant the cubs are generated which is when the lioness is bred and is not in any way affected by IBFs.
First Generation LeoponsFirst generation leopons, those gained as mutations from regular lions, are born with default attributes regardless of their parent's genetics. First generation leopons are always born with the Kimanjano base, (unique to leopons), Dark Golden scarce mane, yellow eyes, dudley nose, and Slot 1: White Underfelt (100%) as well as Slot 6: Mottled Rosette (100%), (unique to leopons). They, along with any second generation leopons, will have special lines just for them! Although they may not look like it, leopons behave as regular lions for customization. This means you may add any custom base, marking, nose, or eye color unto a leopon. You may also use event applicators and/or event features, such as November's NCL marking feature, on your leopon. Any leopon female is fertile and acts like a regular lioness in terms of breeding. Male leopons, regardless of generation, cannot be bred even with the use of fertility items. They are completely infertile, rendering females the only possible way of breeding leopons.
Second and Onward Generation LeoponsOnly a leopon which is originally obtained as a mutation from a regular lioness, thus with a leopard as a father, will say "Leopon (first generation)" as their mutation. These are not the only leopons which can exist since females can breed. They have the possibility of producing second and onward generation leopons. This is where I would suggest grabbing a sketchbook and some blueprints as genetics can get messy here! Female leopons can breed with normal lions. They typically have very low fertilities, but this can be remedied with fertility items and/or some breeding patience. It is perhaps simplest to think of leopons as inheritable mutations, allowing them to have both regular lion cubs and leopon cubs in the same litter. It is also possible for them to pass down their unique base and marking, but it is also possible for them to inherit special breed only markings, eyes, and bases! Let's consider a hypothetical breeding between our first generation leopon and a slate male with Celestial Speckles, Dim Silver, and Under White 4 as well as Starshine eyes.
Breeding Leopon AttributesSecond generation and onward leopons containing the leopon gene may pass it on to their cubs when bred to other lions and any non-leopon markings or bases they possess. On the other hand, the base and marking unique to leopons is a different case altogether when it comes to breeding. The Kimanjano base and the marking Mottled Rosette can only be gained through breeding a first generation leopon and having it pass to her offspring. Leopons readily pass these to their own kids, regardless of whether or not the cubs have the leopon gene or not. A lioness containing these two unique things is a completely different story. Lions lacking the leopon gene have extreme issues passing the base or marking unto their own cubs. It appears the leopon gene helps increase the likelihood of cubs receiving the base and, without it, there's almost no chance of it being passed to cubs. Ochre gnawrocks are a possible solution for the marking, but the horrendously low pass rate for the Kimanjano base cannot be remedied, even in Kimanjano x Kimanjano pairings. A possible solution which has been discussed is retiring to a leopon king and then retiring again to regular lion, keeping the leopon's looks. This gets around the infertility aspect as the new king will inherit the leopon only attributes but without the mutation, permitting fertility. While clever, the pass rates for your new king's Kimanjano base remain so deplorably nonexistent as a regular lion, he may as well be borderline infertile in terms of pass rates.
Any further questions?I hope this helps clarify the confusion on breeding leopons or hybrids in general! Please feel free to post below with any questions, comments, or concerns you have. I'll be happy to address them as best I can. Many thanks and best luck in your leopon adventures!

Out of curiosity, how many cubs can Leopons birth at a time on average? Because literally just a while ago I saw a Leopon mother who was nursing like, over 10 cubs at least and have no clue if Leopons on average have massive litters, if it was simply breeding items, or if it's a glitch? 1 player likes this post!

Hey Ticklicous, Leopons can birth up to 4 cubs at a time in a single litter like a normal lioness. HOWEVER there is an item in the event shop called Yohimbe Bark which reduces the breeding cooldown by a day per use. This means if you use 20 the cooldown can 100% erase, which is why they have more cubs. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Ahhhh okay, that def makes sense then. Thanks, Kraft. I was so surprised when I saw like 10+ cubs being nursed by the same Leopon. XD 0 players like this post! Like? |

I have a very late question! If I obtain an NCL that a Leopard male was flirting with and she has VLF, does that increase the chance any of having Leopons? 0 players like this post! Like? |

This is great! But you know what? With only the 10-15th breeding (didn't count) of my Kimanjano King I got a Kimanjano cub! :D So either I am super dooper incredbly lucky or the chance is not THAT low. ^^ Father and Daughter. 0 players like this post!

If you get a cub from a leopon that is not a leopon is it still able to pass. The gene like a leoppon? 0 players like this post! Like? |

@ Mango: That is the main question discussed in the opening post.. Just with lots of luck an possibly GMO Cows. It's a mutation like all the others, just a lot more rare. @ Nightmare: I don't think so. It can have Leopon offspring of course (like all lions), but I don't think it's more likely to pass it than any other lion. 0 players like this post! Like? |

ahhh this is great! but how do the lionesses get pregnant? I know they have to be in heat, but then what? the next rollover they're pregnant from a leopard? and they have the same 3 day pregnancy? 0 players like this post! Like? |

You breed them like normal but there is a TINY chance that when the cubs are born, there may be a leopon and the lioness will admit to also breeding with the leopard. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Midnight you can have someone reverse stud with the female leopon (It would cost a lot though) or since a leopon is treated like a normal mutation you could use any sort of mutation breeding item on a lioness and hope that you get lucky. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Does the lioness have to have panther markings and spot marking to get a Leopon? 0 players like this post! Like? |

Not at all. Any lioness can have a leopon cub. The chances are just really low to get a first gen leopon. 0 players like this post! Like? |
