Mane types​ 🦁

[Lilytuft]

It would be cool if there were different types of manes. Think of a nicheling with the mane of a lion! Here are my ideas:

Small mane: Just few tufts of hair on the head

+1 attractiveness

Medium mane: The current mane

+1 cold resistance

Big mane: The mane of a lion

+2 cold resistance

-1 heat resistance

+2 attractiveness

Tuft mane: Like medium mane exept this comes with ear tufts and if you have medium tail, it gets a tail-tip-tuft and double effect. Females display eartufts (and tail tip) they also get effects.

+1 hearing

Double effect for medium tail

+ attractiveness

 

Dominance order:

Medium mane > Small mane > Big mane > Tuft mane

 

Edit: 23rd of February 2020

Updated artwork!

For comparison, no mane (so basically females with any mane type other than tuft-)

Small/short mane:

Medium mane:

Big/lion mane:

Tuft mane:

(male:)                                                                                                                               (female:)

I'm pretty sure that would lover their fishing ability, because fish wouldn't be so attracted to this fluff

with flowing hair everywhere, the tail tuft would look like nymph fishing lure, which does attract fish

I think the tail tuft should be it's own thing instead of an add-on for the fishing tail; maybe call it "tuft tail" or something. Since it's based on a lion, perhaps the only buff could be heat resistance.

Tails with tufts like the lion's are actually used to keep flies away from what I've read, so instead of heat resistance it would probably keep the fly swarms on swamp islands at bay

I'd imagine most animals with similar tails do. I can't see it being useful for much else

So it could work as both as a fly swat and a small display show. That's a yes for me.

I edited some nichelings to have different types of manes

My brain can't handle the fact that now a male is pregnant and another one just gave birth.

This was considered in the community voting, but didn't get added

BUMP BUT I WANT CURLY MANE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

[Lilytuft]

The two suggestions that have more votes than this have practically already been added

So this is now the most voted suggestion that's not in the game yet

Wow.

I'm surprised we have 159 people on the forums (I know most of them probably made an account, visited a few times and never came back, but still)

Yeah what a crazy number!

These might make better stats:

 

Small mane: 

+1 attractiveness

Medium mane: 

+1 attractiveness 

Big mane: (male lions rarely hunt and use their manes more as defense) 

+1 defense

+1 distasteful appearance

-1 speed (min 1)

Tuft mane: (I'm thinking Lynx or Bobcat here)

+1 hearing (includes females)

 

The balance of 'attractiveness' would need to be shifted. So that peacock tail might give +3 while some manes give +1.

Why is this downvoted so much? I think it’s a decent idea..

I assume because since the normal mane doesn't add anything, their reasoning is that these ones shouldn't either.
