Melanism.

No but seriously, go for like noctis, ebony and onyx markings, they are basically the best black markings there are.

Deeeerrrp! I been looking for just Black in my crafting searches, I clean forgot that there were other names for black, lol! BTW, what does "Clean" mean, in regards to a 'Clean Cub'?

Clean means theres no instance of inbreeding in their heritage (some say if you have the big 4 in the heritage too, but I personally believe just inbreeding)

I have a side breeding project on my other account where I'm breeding what i call "faux melanistic" - straight dark black lions! My stud is a melanistic lion with an Onyx base and I've been breeding him to females of Noctis, Obsidian, ebony, onyx, and black. So far I have been successful!

Here is my first success male - https://www.lioden.com/lion.php?id=794160466882

Ah, ok, that makes sense. Although, according to Lioden logic, inbreeding doesn't actually have an affect on the cubs or other lions/ lionesses, does it? If not, why make such a deal about 'clean' cubs? I guess probably for players who aren't to keen on the idea of inbreeding, even if it's harmless. Or is there some sort of achievement, or limitation placed on inbred cubs?

No not really, people wanted a challenge and then it became a widespread thing. Clean cubs sell for more too

Inbreeding has no effect on the game, but people make a huge deal out of it
