Support, but this might be hard on the mods/coders..... they would have to redo the line's to make one smaller.. And if it's a prized cub AND a runt and dies... That would really be a bummer DX, but it could help with the over population of cubs on the servers

Well then there could maybe be an item to prevent it?

'Nourishing Milk' or something. idk. Costs 1gb or maybe the monkey could sell it for like 775 sb or somethin', would 'nourish' the runt and it'd still be a runt (probably) but wouldn't have any of the bad side effects I mentioned above?

edit:

and maybe for lineart they could do an overlay / adaptation of the cyclops? Obviously with both eyes and all.

I love this idea! Realistically, mothers choose whether to neglect the runt or continue to nurse the runt.
If this was inserted into the game- it would be nice if it were realistic since a lot of elements being added that are not- not that I am against them :)

Heres how in my mind it would go like;
If a litter was born and one were a runt, you would receive a message regarding the runt and whether the mother has neglected or nursed the runt.
-if nursed, runt continues to be fed by own mother.
-if neglected, either someone at random takes the runt in OR yourself would have to assign the runt to an adoptive mother.

In real life runts normally die, here is how I view how you could save a runt :

-The (adoptive)mother will have to be fed more to be able to feed the runt more. OR you have to feed the runt from your hoard.
-An item in the monkey shop which boosts your runts chance of survival (if its health deteriorates daily just like the cub with the limb mutation but the runts would be because of not enough nutrition )
-A choice to spend 1GB to completely save the runt and will return to normal size.
I don't have any other ideas but I'm sure others will!

Love this idea! I was just thinking the other day, the thought of having runts in LioDen.

Maybe we can have the option to keep it alive ourselves but not return it to normal size as an adolescence and an adult. I know that in reality, runts have a higher rate of being infertile or producing mutations so that could be incorporated.

I have a miniature Dachshund who was the runt of her litter so the adverse effects of breeding her were very well-researched, even though I had no intention of ever breeding her.

I would support if this could be prevented. Like a Monkey Shop item like they have for lethal mutation removal.

I don't support for the reason Jess stated.

So no support, unless edited.

EDIT: I now support since you added the item to the idea.

Sasha, I'll add the idea i stated before to the main post.

I like this idea! :D I'd love to have a runt lion <3 Maybe there could even be mechanics on ways to give the runt cubs better chances of survival.

Larvi, if you have any suggestions you think could add to the overall suggestion, feel free to post them :D

Support! Maybe the art could be adapted from the two-headed cub, which I think is SO cute.

This might be a good idea to incorporate into the oncoming cub mortality update.

Nice idea. Maybe feeding the cub regularly (or giving it "healthy" food) could also play a part?
What I mean is that the player would have to work for it, if he wants the cub to survive.

I like that idea, Melvin.

I also LOVE your avatar <3
