Amaryllis offers two different ways to have litters on-site: Dice-Roll litters and Custom litters. It is up to both players of the parents to decide which method they would like to use.

• Players may request a dice-roll first to see the results. They can then decide whether to go with the dice-roll or opt for a custom litter, if they prefer.
• Regardless of which litter system is chosen, litters derived from incest will only have one cub of a small build. If you are unsure, please contact a Staff member.

Dice-roll litters leave everything up to chance and the results are free to create and bring on site. After posting your Cub Request, dice are rolled by Sr. Staff to determine all aspects of the cubs, including the following:

• How many cubs there will be (0-4).
• The number of cubs is based on:
• The rank of the birthing parent;
• How many threads the parents have together; and
• The birthing parent's age (if they're a lioness and she's 10+, there is a chance for a smaller litter).
• For split-father litters, who the father of each individual cub is will also be determined.
• Genetics for each cub are determined based on who is rolled to be the biological father.
• If Larry and Joe have a split-litter with Susan, a cub who is Joe’s offspring can only have genetic markings from Joe and Susan’s gene pools, not Larry’s.
• The sex, pelt color, eye color, size, markings, global markings, mutations, and possible random mutations or diseases, based on the information provided in the cub request.


• When your characters level up their trades or are in prides with higher tier levels, they have access to Breeding Perks (see the last tab) that raise their chances for better rolls (more cubs, higher tiered pelts [even Breed-Only], etc).
• These are optional and you can pick and choose which are used in the roll. Only list the ones you want! Using them creates a higher chance of straying outside the parents' genetics.


• There is also a possibility (depending on the parents' sizes) for their cubs to receive Breed-Only sizes.
• Colossal Size: Chance to receive when the breeding pair are both large in size.
• Extra Small Size: Chance to receive when the breeding pair are both small in size.

Selecting the Final Roll

Following the results, you have a few options in terms of re-rolling or adding cubs to the litter, all of which are purchasable in the Shop.

• You can re-roll a single cub for 150 petals, or re-roll the entire litter for 300 petals.
• Re-rolls are capped at 3 full litter re-rolls and 3 total single cub re-rolls.
• Full litter re-rolls means re-rolling the details of the entire litter, including the number of cubs.
• Single cub re-rolls means re-rolling the details of one specific cub.
• You can add "+1 cub" to a dice-rolled litter for 200 petals.
  • Only one "+1 cub" can be used per litter, and it can’t be used if the maximum number of cubs (4) has already been reached.

• If the original roll results in a 0, only one (1) re-roll is allowed before a new breeding attempt is needed.
• This only applies if the first litter roll results in 0. If you receive a successful litter first, then receive 0 on a full litter re-roll, you can do additional re-rolls as normal.

Changes

Most parts of the cub rolls cannot be changed. This includes their build, pelt color, and eye color(s).

• If they receive a Genetic Mutation, it must be used.
• Additional Random Mutations and Bonus Markings cannot be added.
• The cubs do not have to use all of the Markings and Global Markings rolled.

For a small fee in the Shop, other parts of cubs rolls CAN be changed:

• Sex-swapping a cub costs 50 petals.
• Extra genetic markings cost 50 petals (per additional genetic marking above what was rolled).
• Extra genetic global markings cost 150 petals (per additional global above what was rolled).
• Extra genetic mutations cost 150 petals (per additional mutation above what was rolled).

Marking Rules/Variations

Cubs rolled with genetic markings (inherited from their genetic line) can have the marking vary somewhat.

• The color of the marking can be different and the marking can move around the body, but the number of markings must stay the same (i.e. if the parent has one sock, the cub can’t have two socks).
• The size is only allowed to scale down, and the style must stay the same. Staff has the final say if changes to a genetic marking are too much.
• Genetic global markings can be broken down into regular genetic markings (if the parent has global spotting, the cub could have spotting on just their shoulders and legs. It would count as two separate genetic markings rather than a global).

Rolled bonus markings can be anything, genetic or non-genetic, except for global markings.

Random Mutations and Diseases

Random mutations and diseases are optional and must be requested at the time of the roll.

• The cub's player decides whether or not to use them.
• Random Mutation Roll: Some mutations are harmless and some are lethal.
• Non-Lethal Mutations: Can be any of the mutations listed on our Design Details page.
• Lethal Mutations: Cubs with lethal mutations will need a trigger warning and the details are decided by the player. Cubs can survive for up to a maximum of 8 months.
• Random Disease Roll: Some diseases are temporary and can be cured once the cub is born. Others are lethal and unable to be cured.
• Non-Lethal Diseases: Upper-respiratory infections, ear mites, roundworm, or pneumonia.
• Lethal Diseases: Players can decide the circumstances and details of the lethal disease on their own, but these diseases can not be cured. Cubs can survive for up to a maximum of 8 months.

In a custom litter, players are completely in control of their cubs' appearances. All premium items (pelt colors, global markings, and mutations) of the cubs must be paid in full prior to them being born, but free reign is given over the designs.

Your first step in requesting a custom litter is to submit the applicable form in Cub Requests, similar to how it works for dice-rolled litters.

• This form will give you the ability to roll any trade and/or pride perks for additional cubs or premium pelts.
• If rolled, the premium pelt will be free for that cub!
• A Staff member will post the results and give your character a formal due date.

Re-Rolls/Changes

After receiving the results of your trade/pride perks and your due date, you have the option to make some modifications, which must be purchased in the Shop.

• You can re-roll your trade/pride perks if they were unsuccessful. This costs 300 petals and can be done as many times as you'd like.
• You can add a "+1 Cub to a Custom Litter" for 300 petals.
• Only one "+1 cub" can be used per litter, and it can’t be used if the maximum number of cubs (4) had already been reached.
• Make sure you're purchasing the +1 for the custom litter and not the dice-rolled. These are two separate items.

Genetic Discounts

• Custom litter cubs receive a genetic discount of 25% on global markings, premium pelts, and mutations if one or both of the parents have it.
• They are organized by the pelt and mutation tiers, so double check before purchasing!
• e.g. The shop item "Custom Litter Cub - Genetic Tier 4 Pelt" covers mauve, chartreux, and merle pelts.
• If the parents have any breed-only items, you can purchase them for a cub for a flat fee of 200 petals per breed-only item. This can be purchased anytime before the cub is auditioned.
• Gifts and RDGs can be used for custom litters, including those with breed-only items.
• These discounts must be purchased in the Shop before the cub is auditioned.

When auditioning your custom litter cubs, you will be asked to link to their post in Cub Requests for verification. At the time of auditioning and approval, Staff will confirm that all the necessary items and purchases have been made for the final design of your cub.

Wisp cubs are an option to allow same-sex couples or those who are unable to have cubs for other reasons to have a biological litter together. It also allows a single lion or lioness to have a single cub on their own. Parents of a wisp litter still have the option of having a dice-roll or custom litter.

Wisp Cubs

• The parents needs to be in love and/or have a strong desire to have cubs together.
• They must meet all breeding requirements (age, post count, etc).
• This love and desire needs to be mentioned IC, verbally or non-verbally. This thread is considered their breeding thread.
• Once this has been done, you can conduct a seasonal breeding roll from the Breeding page in the Guidebook, to determine whether they have been successful and granted wisp cubs.
• If the roll is not successful, they will need to make a new thread to try again.

Single Parent Wisp Cub

• It is possible for your character to be granted a single (1) wisp cub from Maua without being in a relationship.
• The parent must meet all other breeding requirements and post count, and must purchase the Single Parent Wisp Pass in the Shop.
• This pass costs 1000 petals and all petals must have been earned on the account of the to-be parent.
• The parent needs to have a desire to have children that is mentioned IC, verbally or nonverbally. This thread is considered their breeding thread.
• Once this has been done, you can conduct a seasonal breeding roll from the Breeding page in the Guidebook, to determine whether they have been successful and granted a wisp cub.
• If the roll is not successful, they will need to make a new thread to try again. They will retain their pass until the roll is successful.

Maua's Appearance

The way that Maua appears and grants cubs can be tailored to the beliefs or preferences of your specific characters.

After their successful breeding roll, the players have the chance to freely play out and detail what way would make the most sense for their characters to receive Maua's blessing. This could look like:

• Maua appearing in the thread directly and speaking with the couple;
• Maua taking the form of another deity or religious figure;
• Maua blessing the parents in secret and making one of them pregnant (if two lionesses);
• Maua blessing the parents and bestowing cubs upon them after they have been "born"; or
• Any other ideas that you may have.

Requesting the Cub(s)

• For same-sex couples and split wisp litters, one party needs to be marked as the "mother". The purpose of this is to ensure that we can roll the litter correctly.
• The character marked as the “mother” of the wisp litter will incur a breeding cooldown of 6 IC months. This is in-line with the biological breeding guidelines.
• Wisp cubs have the option of having a "wisp" marking on them that does not count toward as a genetic or bonus marking.
• A wisp marking is a small, flowy-looking mark that can be placed anywhere on the body. The adopter is able to decide the final look, color, etc.
• For single parent wisp cubs, genetics will only be pulled from the one parent character.

Leveling up your character's Master trade allows them to receive perks and bonuses when having cubs. Some trades have their own trade-specific perks.

Global Trade Perks

Given to every character who reaches a certain trade level.

• Level 1: Chance of only medium or large size cubs.
• Level 2: Chance of cubs receiving a random premium pelt color (Tier 2 - Tier 4 pelts).
• Level 3: Chance of cubs receiving bonus markings.
• Level 4: Chance of cubs receiving a breed-only pelt color.
• Level 5: Chance of adding +1 cub to the litter (maximum of 4 cubs total per litter).

Trade-Specific Perks

Unique to each individual Trade, and vary between each. These are all a part of the Master and Sub-Master trade perk pools:

• Beatnik: Produce a 5-cub litter once per IC year.
• Medic: Automatically adds +1 cub to their litters due to good health (maximum of 4 per litter).
• Nursemaid: 50% chance of a 5-cub litter when both parents are in the same pride as the nursemaid (includes self).
• Outlaw: Greater odds at a large litter when rogue or in a band.

Leveling up your pride's Tier can also award boosts towards breeding and reproduction.

• Pride Tier 2: Potential for an extra cub in litter (1/5 chance).
• Pride Tier 3: If both parents are in the pride, there is a 50/50 chance of a maxed-out litter (4) regardless of their ranks.

And it's the same for leveling up your band's Tier!

• Band Tier 2: Potential for an extra cub in litter (1/5 chance).
