I apologize if there are already any topics out there like this; I haven’t seen any, so I thought I’d go ahead and make my own suggestion!

Now, if I’m remembering correctly, frozen lions don’t get any flavour text. That’s almost a little awkward, isn’t it? You have all these mortal lions in your pride to chat with, and then there’s just...Frozen McGee. Sitting there. Watching.
To put an end to this tragic situation, I thought it would be pretty cool if frozen lions could have their own flavour text! I understand they may not fit with specific mutations if you have a kid with one that’s been frozen, but I tried to make the ones written below as fitting as possible for all lions without mentioning specific traits.

A few examples:

”You come across (Name) surrounded by cubs, telling them a tale of the far-away past. Or, at least they’re acting like this is some ancient story - you remember being there when it happened, two whole days ago.”

“You decided to ask (Name) why they never hunt with the rest of the pride. They seem to hesitate for a moment before, face blank, they ask you the same thing. You’re suddenly self-conscious.”

“You and (Name) were having a great time basking in the sun together when they suddenly let out a loud groan and announced that they felt old. You tried very hard not to roll your eyes.”

“Taking a nice little stroll through the territory together, you and (Name) were having quite a deep conversation about their past relationships with other lions, and how it feels for them to have been alive for so long. After you question if you’ll meet again after it’s your time to go, they answer ‘yes’ - and, with a grin, say they’ll make sure to keep the next king in line. You can feel a sob coming on.”


If you don’t support - or if you do - feel free to comment below and tell me why! ;o;

I love this idea, even if I don't have any frozen lions. Flavor text is always cute and fun.

I love this but I feel like I need to add

You notice (Grandpaw) staring at (Name), clearly annoyed. You think you hear them mutter something about wrinkles as they stalk away.

GRANDPAW BEING BITTER ABOUT BEING OLD @ THE FROZEN LIONS MAKE ME LAUGH OK

What about something along the lines of

"You ask [lion] to do something for you, but they turn and squint at you, asking when you got all bossy. They go on to talk about being there when you were born and blah blah blah- you roll your eyes and walk away."

I love this idea

There could even be text relating to the 'frozen' state of the lion - "From the corner of your eye you see an icy glint coming from [Name]'s coat. What was...?"

I honestly hesitate to freeze any of my lions due to the lack of flavor text (and thus any real interactivity at all), but this would definitely incentivize me to save my favorite lionesses once they're older!

I haven't yet frozen a lion... But if this is implemented I will definitely want to do this! I adore the interactions. (Polycaudal interactions are my absolute favorite.)

Any flavor text ideas for frozen cubs? like maybe, "You ask *frozen cub* what it's like to never grow up, they blink and ask you what it's like to grow up. You don't have an answer."

“You spot [Name] sitting alone, watching the stars with a sad expression. You don’t disturb them, but you wonder if they’re thinking about their old pridemates.”

Add ons about frozen lions (60+ Rollovers, starts at 30-60 rollovers ) going mad due to the fact that being immortal being ( IMO ) worse than being mortal
" You spot [name] hissing at [random cub] that they were disturbing their peace, and smacking them, you haven't seen [name] act like this before, is this the start of something worse? "

" [Name] started to show signs of resenting you, you vaguely remember [you/main male at time of immortalization] used [immortalizing item] on them, you wonder why, because you always believed that being immortal would be a very nice fate. "

I was on board but your example flavor texts sold me. I feel like the devs could have a lot of fun with this concept. How does a lion that never ages and can never die spend it's time or even feel about it's fate? Sad? Resentful? Happy?

One more:
" You hear [name] screaming something in your territory, you look for them and find out they're screaming out the words " EVERYONE'S DEAD! EVERYONE'S DEAD! EVERYONE'S STRANGERS! ". You feel a bit uneased and shocked. "
