I understand where @Ancestor Nature is coming from. If bird hindlegs were added without speed and your creature didn’t have wings or a body with speed, that creature wouldn’t be able to move.

So I’ve realized that after a short amount of time, you can no longer edit your post. Also, after editing the post, you cannot edit the post again. Has anyone else had similar issues or is it just me? I was wondering if there would be any way to make it so you can edit the post at any time, multiple times?

Hey so I know some of these pairings don’t seem biologically accurate but this is Niche and why not. I think some of these are better than others and don’t think they all would work but I think I’d be nice to at least propose it. Also, I would like to say that I am aware of the “one post per idea” rule, but I wasn’t sure if each entity counted as a different idea, and I didn’t want to bombard the forum with all of them. However, if you think I should separate them, I’ll happily do so. I was also sick of people suggesting hybrids through the same method as bearyenas so I made some original ones but the bearyena rule does apply to most of them if you don’t like the ideas I proposed. Finally, I wanted to explain the formatting a little bit. If you see “existing gene/existing gene”, it means both/all would work for the slot and can either be one or the other or both/all. If you see “existing gene/new gene”, it means that the existing gene is an alternative to the new gene. Since I made this in a very give or take way where if you don’t think the new gene is very good, the existing gene would be a good alternative. All patterns were also chosen based on entity texture and what may look similar on a Nicheling, such as stripes to look like a feather texture. So let me know what you think works and what doesn’t. Rabbil Obtained by: Breeding with a giant rabbil A giant rabbil spawns as a friend in an area with 3 burrows next to each other surrounded by 3-4 berry bushes and will collect from bushes (in grassland biome) Collecting berries from the bushes in the area results in the giant rabbil no longer being your friend Destroying bushes, attacking the giant rabbil, and/or other rabbils in the area and/or sight range of the giant rabbil results in the giant rabbil attacking you and compels other rabbils to attack you Normal rabbils attack with a strength of 1 every ⅓ times If the giant rabbil is killed for 10 food points, rabbils will stop attempting to attack your creatures and will despawn back into the burrows and will not respawn until the giant rabbil respawns A new giant rabbil spawns in 10 days if the area is left in the dark and all berry bushes in the area are fully grown (applies as well if giant rabbil dies of natural causes) All giant rabbils are male and move like any other rabbil unless being bred with where it will not move for the day until a successful breeding or the day passes over Giant Rabbil Stats: 5 sight 2 strength 2 speed 3 collecting Lifespan - 30 days Hybrid Genes: Normal snout Big ears/Rabbit ears - +4 hearing, +1 heat resistance Running leg/Collecting paws - +3 collecting (maybe +1 speed) Lean body/Small body - +1 heat resistance, +2 camo in tall grass, +1 stealth, +2 speed, can be picked up by birds as a teenager (adult size is equivalent to the size of a big bodied teenager) Medium tail/Berry tail - +1 collecting (original idea by @ChasingNyx )/Lean tail - +1 heat resistance Normal hind legs/Speedy hind legs - +3 speed, +1 swimming White fur No pattern Dodomingo Prerequisite: All current in-game dodomingos are female A male can be made that looks like the female or completely different (either a peacock flamingo mix (will be on another post) or how @Dingorok describes it) Some dodomingo ideas originally by @Dingorok here: Obtained by: Finding fertilized dodomingo eggs in a nest and raising them for yourself to breed with the offspring (if you take them while in a dodomingo’s sight range, it will attack you) (you can take them either for 10 food points or to raise them) Once eggs are laid, the dodomingo will leave the occupied nest in search for another nest Nests with eggs cannot be used by Nichelings If with male counterpart, they mate and the dodomingo will sit on a nest for 6 days before leaving behind eggs (dodomingo takes a 2-day break before breeding again) If without, the dodomingo will sit on a nest for 6 days before leaving behind eggs (1/50 chance of occurring every time it steps in a nest) OR Creating a nest for a (if with male, pregnant) dodomingo and maintaining it for 6 days before leaving behind eggs for you willingly Raising eggs requires a creature to take the eggs and spend a day without energy (the next day after taking the eggs). The hatched eggs will give you 1-3 baby dodomingos who will follow the creature that raised them until they are adults where they will just be more in the general area (anywhere from 4-5 tiles) of that creature. If a raised dodomingo is out of range, it will take the quickest route to get back into range no matter how far away. If/when the creature who raised the dodomingo(s) dies, the range becomes permanent to the spot where the creature died. All dodomingos would be female (unless a male counterpart was added, in that case it’s 50/50 and breeding with males would be similar to bearyenas (male dodomingos will not move for the day until a successful breeding or the day passes over)) and when successfully bred with would immediately go towards the closest nest regardless of range (a female dodomingo also will not move for the day until a successful breeding or the day passes over). After having a kid, the dodomingo will return to the range. Bonus: Dodomingos will leave behind unfertilized eggs that can be taken for 5 food points (if you take them while in a dodomingo’s sight range, it will attack you) (1/10 chance of occurring every time it steps in a nest) Once eggs are layed, the dodomingo will leave to occupied nest in search for another nest Nests with eggs cannot be used by Nichelings Stat change: 2 strength (Raised dodomingos have a longer lifespan of 25 days, they spend 3 days growing up) Hybrid Genes: Bird Beak/Dodomingo Beak - +1 smelling, + 3 alluring voice (attracts predators and prey, especially sound based ones, to the area used in a radius of 3 tiles) Medium ears/Bird ears - +4 hearing, +1 cold resistance OR hear more prey and/or roots (as if worms were there) Normal eyes/Sharp-sighted (or Bird) eyes - +3 sight OR +4 sight Wing/Velvet paw/Roosting wing - +1 cold resistance, +1 heat radiation Medium body/Feather body - (I don’t have any ideas for this one) Peacock tail Normal hindlegs/Bird hindlegs - +1 fishing, +1 strength, +1 speed Stripes pattern Bluebird Obtained by: Befriending a female bluebird A female bluebird is brown and slightly bigger than a male bluebird with yellow or black eyes A female bluebird spawns randomly and is befriended by either sacrificing a baby or leaving 15 pieces of meat for it to take (prioritizes taking food/children despite anything) Once befriended, a female bluebird will kill prey and collect meat that contributes to the food counter and will no longer take your babies. If you attack a male bluebird, you will lose the female bluebird’s trust, and she will no longer be befriended nor re-befriendable. Only creatures who can reach treetops can breed with the female bluebird and can call her over via the call creatures ability (while on treetops). She will then prioritize coming over once attempted to breed with will stay in place for the rest of the day. If successfully bred with, she will prioritize finding a nest will hover over it for the rest of the day. The next day, there will be an egg in the nest that you would require heating up (done by placing to Nichelings adjacent to it or by using heat radiation) overnight for the egg to hatch the next day. If heating up is not performed after 3 days, the egg will rot/die and will take up the nest/space for the next 3 days before despawning. Female bluebird stats: 1 speed 4 strength 5 sight Lifespan - 35 days Hybrid genes: Bird Beak/Strong beak - +1 cracking, +1 strength Medium ears/Bird ears - +4 hearing, +1 cold resistance OR hear more prey and/or roots (as if worms were there) Normal eyes/Sharp-sighted (or Bird) eyes - +3 sight OR +4 sight Wing Lean body/Feather body - (I don’t have any ideas for this one) Peacock tail Bearyena hindlegs/Bird hindlegs - +1 fishing, +1 strength, +1 speed (Discussion of bird hindlegs here: https://strayfawnstudio.com/community/index.php?/topic/596-bird-hindlegs/) No pattern Crabbit Obtained by: Breeding with the elder crabbit The elder crabbit is a larger, bluer crabbit with bigger ears that spawns randomly alongside 1-3 other crabbits After 3 days out of water, it will appear dead and you will have a choice to either carry it (requires nimble fingers) or take it for 5 points if food. Taking it to the water will revive and tame it. If you do not touch the elder crabbit after 3 days, it will despawn. After being tamed, the elder crabbit will follow the creature that tames it exactly one tile behind. If it falls behind, it will take the shortest path to be right next to the creature no matter what. If the creature that tamed the elder crabbit dies before the elder crabbit, the elder crabbit will act like a regular crabbit (but will still be tamed and breedable). A tamed elder crabbit will also pick up any shells around it. Killing or attacking an elder crabbit and attempting to revive it will fail and make the elder crabbit disappear. All elder crabbits are male. Elder Crabbit Stats: 1 speed 3 sight Lifespan (Only in effect after taming) - 10 days Hybrid Genes: Medium ears/Rabbit ears - +4 hearing, +1 heat resistance Antennae/Crab Antennae - +2 smelling Gills Normal eyes/Eyestalks - +3 sight OR +2 sight Water body/Exoskeleton - +2 defense, underwater breathing (+1 heat resistance?) Claw/Pincers - +2 strength, +1 fishing, +1 cracking OR +2 strength, +1 fishing, +1 collecting Normal hind legs Swimming tail Red fur color Mask patten Arctic Ramfox Obtained by: Befriending an abandoned arctic ramfox Abandoned ramfoxes have a 1/10 (feel free to comment if this is too high or low, I haven’t encountered many arctic ramfoxes) chance of spawning with other arctic ramfoxes It will not be near the pack and will be in some other dark area, it will be slightly smaller, darker in color, and younger. It will not move as often as the pack would. It stays at least 2 tiles away from the rest of the pack. Requires 10 food to tame When tamed, the abandoned ramfox acts like a tamed bearyena yet tends to stay closer to other pack members. The ramfox can also inflict warming up as if it were another pack mate and will have a longer lifespan after being tamed of 20 days. The ramfox will now also hunt prey such as rabbils and will contribute to the food counter to prove it is useful to you. There is a 50/50 chance the abandoned ramfox is male or female. Breeding with a male is the same as a friendly bearyena. Breeding with a female will move towards the closest nest after a successful breeding and after a night on the nest, will give birth. Hybrid genes: Some gene names by @seahorsepie here: https://strayfawnstudio.com/community/index.php?/topic/964-ramfox-hybrids/ Medium ears Ram horns Big nose Normal eyes Big body/Medium body/Snow body - +1 cold resistance, +2 speed Bearyena claws/Hunting claws - +1 speed, +1 attack Bearyena hindlegs Medium tail/Big tail - +2 cold resistance, -1 heat resistance Black/White fur color or just white fur color No pattern Hemophilia Walrus Deer Obtained by: Breeding with a walrus deer Keeping a walrus deer unharmed for 30 days makes it trust you. If you attack it after being befriended, it will no longer be befriended or re-befriendable. All walrus deer are male and attempting to breed with one will stop the movement of the walrus deer until the day passes, there is a successful breeding, or it is attacked. Hybrid Genes: Medium ears Antlers/Big Antlers - +1 strength, +1 attractiveness (both sexes or only males) OR +2 strength Normal snout/Sabertooth fangs/Tusks - +1 strength, +1 cracking Big body/Blubber - +3 cold resistance, +1 swimming Runner leg/Hooves - +1 speed, +1 cracking Normal hindlegs/Hooved hindlegs - +2 speed, +1 strength, +1 swimming Swimming tail Red/White fur Stripes pattern Apes Obtained by: Taming the ultimate ape The ultimate ape is a very rare entity that spawns in with another ape on a different area on the island. When it spawns in, it makes a very distinct sound. It is the best combination of the great apes; having excellent sight, hearing, and smell; and can only be found on the deep jungle island. It’s appearance is like a mixture between the three apes. The ultimate ape will spawn as a child and will become an untamable adult after 50 days. It is only tamable as a child and requires 100 food to tame which can be separated into 10s, 20s, and 50s at a cost (alternatively, have new menu pop up for how much to give to the ape). Separating food gifts wears off 1 food point a day and each feeding (regardless of amounts) takes one point of energy. When the ultimate ape becomes a “tamed” adult, you will have to provide it with 10 food points every 10 days. The ultimate ape starts off with 10 food points when it grows up. Each feeding of 10 points is one point of energy. Feeding does stack meaning feeding it 50 food points one day lasts for 50 days. There would be a bar or icon letting you know how much longer you have. Missing feeding the ultimate ape makes it feral and untamable. You can only breed with a tamed ultimate ape when it has the age of 150 days. The ultimate ape is neutral as a child, extremely aggressive as an adult, and neutral as an adult if it was tamed and is maintained. Letting the ultimate ape grow up without taming it would be one of the hardest, if not hardest, challenges in Niche. If any creature is ever caught on its radar, it will immediately target that creature. It can be distracted by other food resources and other apes for 2-3 days. It likes to move around to make it less predictable. If creatures have distasteful appearance, distasteful scent, and strong voice, it will not attack. All ultimate apes are male and act like friendly bearyenas but also collect fruit. OR Snatch a baby ape from ape nests found in jungle trees with winged creatures by standing directly underneath the tree. The ape will be one of the three apes and will take 25 days to grow. The feeding system works the same as the ultimate ape in order to maintain trust. If you fail to feed the ape, it will become feral and untamable. The ape has all the normal stats of its wild counterpart. Bonus: I could see there being two achievements for the ultimate ape Master of Beasts - Tamed an ultimate ape for life Master Hunter - Kill the ultimate ape Ultimate Ape Stats: 6 sight 6 smell 6 hearing 4 defense 5 strength 2 collecting 2 speed Immune to poison Drops 100 food points Lifespan - 250 days Hybrid Genes: Normal eyes/Blind eyes (Smelling and Hearing Apes)/Sharp-sighted (or Bird) eyes - +3 sight OR +4 sight Big ears/Giant ears - +5 hearing, +1 heat resistance (maybe disables horn gene) Big nose/Giant nose - +4 smelling/Ape Snout (Seeing and Hearing Apes) - +1 strength, distasteful appearance Toxic body/Big body/Armored body/Toxic Armor - +2 defense, +2 strength, distasteful appearance, poison resistance, disable fur color Bearyena claw/Ape arm - +1 strength, +1 collecting, +1 cracking, +1 climbing (climb up trees instead of flying) (maybe +2 speed and/or climbing ability if both paws) Normal hindlegs Medium tail Black fur color Spots pattern I also have an idea for balance bears, but I heard there are some new bears and wanted to see those before I made some genes for them so I'll probably make a post about them later. Anyways, thanks for reading this extremely long post!

Hey, I remember reading on the Development WIP post that new bears were added in this new update, and I was curious if anyone has encountered them yet. I really want to know how they look and act (especially for a idea I want to add) but don’t have the time right now. Thanks to anyone who posts info on them in advance!

Hey! What a coincidence, I’m working on an idea right now that includes a blue crabbit (just need a few more things to finish it). I love the idea of a bluish hue for horn color tho.

This post is also similar to this one:

I kinda agree with @LordOfCider. Maybe have it be optional or something like double or triple clicking for it to process could be another option to avoid the pop-up. This could work for the space bar too, since that’s what I primarily use.

@AlphaBlox I really like the ideas you have for insect island! But I was curious, are the Misharks related to this island because you stated they can into the shore but the insect island has an unswimmable ocean. If they aren’t, you should make a separate post for them so people can vote for them.

Hey @Espeon, I thought I’d let you know that there’s already a page for something similar here:

@ToffeeWolf Cool! I also did some more research on the function of peacock crests and apparently they can sense vibrations and wind so maybe a weaker weather sensing than the antennae?

I think another interesting addition to not just the peacock tail but the attractiveness stat itself would be to lure other creatures towards it. For example, rabbils might find the tail interesting and walk up to your creature.

@ToffeeWolf Interesting, what do you think it would add? +1 attractiveness?

@Dun(ce) Crow Cool creature ideas! Especially the Rhinopotamus, but I recommend separating them, 1 idea per post and all.

Also looking back on this, I do realize I missed of things like a gem color button on the creature creator, being able to save Nichelings from games to add to creature lists, and being able to use these creatures as starting creatures for sandbox mode.

@Skysplash8 Hey, sorry it took me a while to get back to you but I can see where your coming from. Maybe you could use this mode as a new game mode and how I proposed it because I also think there’s something else to having it separate as well. (i.e. the creature lists and the Punnett square)

I’m honestly on stray fawn for Niche, but I might as well try Nimbatus

Hmm, seems every time an admin replies it works. Thnxs for the help @Philo and @Micha!

@Philo I’ve tried across multiple times all with internet

@Dun(ce) Crow Yea, I know. That’s why I just said it was a possibility not that I actually think it’s gonna happen.

@Jojo Yea sure man, it seems like it’s not just me

Hmm, nope I’ve definitely tried that before, multiple times

Ah, it’s cool dude, don’t feel bad. But yea, I’ve tried it all for both Adam and sandbox mode. I’m sure I’ll get it eventually .

@MysticTopaz Nope, no dice man.

@MysticTopaz Alright, I’ll give it a shot and let you know how it goes

@MysticTopaz So, was that baby your last creature then?
