Thank You too - and I have a question - am I allowed to change expression of pumpkin face (on the cat's tail) during the breeding (example: no teeth, other shape of eyes, etc.)?

ah, this is a question for theRainbowOverlord since she created the original lantern mutant - can the face of the jack-o-lantern be changed?

Umm, I hadn't thought of that... I guess the face could changed if it's ok with StargazerSammie and AriaThordia. All the other lanterns aren't organic so it wasn't really a concern with them. :shrug:

maybe if the lines dont go to overdetailed
but than it should be like those other venus flytrap tail stuff only be made by admins or out of mutations / mixes - sth like that?

what you think? mouldyCat , theRainbowOverlord & StargazerSammie

ah you mean it only should change when bred with some other mutant that has specific "facial features", too, like the venus fly trap tail? that would make sense, also the part about an admin pre-making some faces for everyone to use, especially when comparing this case to how we handled this topic with other mutants.

also i think StargazerSammie isn't getting mention messages, i'll send her a note to see what she thinks :3

Thank You, guys for Your replies. To make things clear - the current face of pumpkin lantern is very pretty, but isn't suitable for any occassion (isn't all-purpose), looks like thing only for Halloween or pre-Halloween (my point of view can be subjective, because Halloween tradition is new in my country and isn't very expanded, so I don't know too much about Jack-O-Lantern pumpkins ;) ). So, if You guys prefer some admin-made face expressions, I have some suggestions. 1) alternative pumpkin face without teeth (simple smile or simple sad expression) looking a little bit like emoticons, 2) no face but simple shapes as - circle with visible candle, cross, diamond, heart etc. 3) tribal-like, more complicated shapes (butterfly, angel, mask, etc.) What do You all think? mouldyCat AriaThordia theRainbowOverlord StargazerSammie

Yeah, I like the idea of it happening when it's bred with other tail facial features then just doing it at random or something.

Sorry, my mentions are off :giggle:

I would say only in the event of breeding with something that could allow the face to be changed, which you've guys already come to the conclusion to c:

I would think of it like a plastic pumpkin decoration, rather than something organic. They usually all come pre-molded with a single face design but in lots of colors XD Being able to change the face on it without mixing it first would be silly and wouldn't fit with the other lanterns, which can't normally be altered without mixing first.

I guess that could work. :3
