Okay, lioden is wierd. Sometimes, REALLY wierd. Like how the gorilla enclave takes in cubs, but also sells lion meat. Weird. And the mandrill doesnt like the quest snake. Weird. And the "rare" and "special" bases are odd colours. But the "normal-coloured" ones aren't. Also, there are wierd looking "lions" on Xylax's account. Wierd. And there are "primal" mutations, while most of the other mutations are real, or plausible, or exist in cats. Wierd. And the fact that you can seduce any lioness with a single flower, named after a Leopard.Not a lion, but lion's sworn enemy.

Wierd.

One thing that really sticks out to me is that the fact that these things don't really connect to anything important. These things all seem out of place. But the reason they are is simple.

Exploiation.
and gorrilas.

Specifically the gorilla enclave. The very first point.

You see, gorillas are normaly not hostille, but seem that way due to body language cues, like staring and such. They are also very big and strong, are more manouverable, with big arms to swing and hit. The big ones in the gorilla enclave could kill lioden lions on a one-on-one battle. So why not little cubs? But if any lion would do for lion meat, why have requirements? Unless they needed the for other things... Like how they sell aplicators. But getting lions with those exact markings would be difficult. But gorillas are't stupid. They know they are trapped in a game, and use this to their advantage, to exploit the code of the game and manipulate it to give them the exact cubs they need. But, the first tests didn't go so well, but they learned a lot. They discovered primals, a "first-gen" lion form an older version of the game. And to make applicators more appeling, they add bright colours, which explains why the rare and special bases are coloured that way.

However, they are not the only ones. Situated in the trees, the quest snake is able to see this, use it to his advantage. The mandrill, of course, isn't very happy with this, and thinks the snake is stealing.

During the 'fails' the gorillas move the 'fails' to another account, to store them. That account has xylax's wierd lions.It was xylax.

Now, the flower. Something that would defiently appeal to main males. Instant seduction flower. But the snake gets to it before they do, and they abandon the idea as a result of too many 'fails'. The snake, not wanting to get into trouble with the mandrill again, sells the exploitation to a lioness who thinks its a god-given gift, and a secrect. She travels to sell it, along with other things shes 'been gifted' by the snake.

Edit 21/09/24-
Gorillas sell other animals as decor, including other monkeys. But theres no gorilla decor. And monkey teeth as currency? That's a little odd... weird, some might say.

There used to be a gorilla decor they sold. But the gorillas did what they do best- manipulate the ones and zeros to their desired outcomes. Free their people. Give them a life outside of posing next to a feline.

But like I said, this was a long time ago...and their art wasn't as perfect as it seemed. It...well, it didn't work. The code distorted, trapping their friends and family in a digital hell, torn apart by website. And all they have left, all that came of it...their teeth. Monkey teeth. And maybe, just maybe... with enough, they can bring them back. But they need more than just the teeth. The teeth need to be graced by the touch of their true captors; the lions. And the easiest way to get their grubby, greedy paws on it- make it a currency. No wonder the gorilla looks so frustrated all the time. They live with the consequences of their actions. That they are the reason for their loves one's eternal suffering.

Or thats what they want you to think.

A nice narrative to encourage spending.

Except... they are labelled as 'Monkey Teeth'.

Gorillas are...apes.

And there's barely any monkey or ape decor. Not to mention how sad those animals look. Gorillas aren't the merciful creatures they want you to think they are. They are evil, in every sense of the world. They want domination. But they know how to get it. They know this isn't an overnight phenomenon. Not if they don't want to get caught. They need to drip down into every crevice of the world. First, one of the biggest events of the year- the December event, AKA Christmas. But don't be too flashy. They won't work.

So, how does one dominate the world?

Divide and Conquer. Use fear.

Because fear, put quite simply...works.

Use monkey teeth as currency. Remind everyone whose in charge here- and that you're not afraid to destroy those behind you for power. That there are no lines you won't cross. That you would tear the bones out of your brothers and sisters to win.

Another weird thing I picked up was the flavour text on the Cardboard box item
'You were a cat. This was a box. Can I make it anymore obvious?'

And the side of the box: AMA zone... amazon.
Gorillas don't live there, no... infact, none of the sets available really relate to the amazon rainforest.

Because you still are a cat. This the present.

That box, is referring to the future. When the gorillas take over, and reduce you, the lion, to nothing more than a big kitten obsessed with boxes.

Wait, where do the boxes come from? Well, how do you think they get these animals? They have to ship them in- Cambodia, Greece, Italy... it requires transport. So they come in boxes. The amazon ones, well... that's just a future set.
