Cubs now begin to form words and move around the den, and close to the pride territory. They can now be weaned. Baby vampire fangs are fully in, and Elementals can use small amounts of magic. The Beast Masters can now begin to talk to other creatures. 6 months: Our cute cubs are now moody teenagers. Full abilities are now achieves for each race and class. Manes will start growing and hormones will rage. 1 year: WOO! Graduation. Now the cub is a fully fledged adult. Dry those tears cause now manes are fully grown and full size has been achieved.

Mental maturity ACHIEVED! 10-12 years: At the end of the journey, you finish your last level. GG buddy. GG. Breeding & Birthing: 1. Lions must be 2 years old to breed. Males can go on till they're 10, but females have to hang up the hat at around 7 years. 2. A breeding thread must be posted, all mating must be set as fade to black. There will be a success roll done for conception and the number of cubs. After that the cubs are mostly up to the players, but their races must be inherited. Classes can be picked without prior heritage. 3. Post in the adoption center to get those cubs players! Females will be pregnant for 2 IC months, and any cubs who do not have players 1 IC month after the birth thread will be considered dead.
