i think this'd be the correct place for this. it's my first time suggesting an idea, so apologies if it's not! ^^

my idea is that cubs who get in cub accidents and survive have a small chance of gaining a permanent injury from it- maybe determined by how low their survival rate is after their accident. when the cub gets a permanent injury, it will have a small change to lineart based on what happened- maybe it lost a toe, an ear, has a crooked jaw now, limps/favors a paw, etc. sort of like the scars lionesses can get in hunting, only you cant remove these, and the cub will grow up with that injury.

i don't know if these would have any effect on stats, ability to hunt, and anything else, although maybe a decrease in stats would be good to avoid people constantly intentionally trying to get cubs with the new injuries. i just think overall it would be interesting, and provide another variable to the cub accidents.
