Okay so, I really fancy this idea and because it's late I actually have the nads to post. We're going to need something new eventually, and I really don't know what I'd do for another evolution, honestly. I'm out of ideas on that, and I don't want aboriginals being the size of another evolution's eyeball, so yeah. Pretty much out of the question. I have an obsession with all things scaly. Especially dragons and dinosaurs. I didn't think a snake species or plain old lizard species would be that great, and I've been drawing a lot of dragons and raptors lately. I feel a reptile species would offset the furry feline and canines quite well, as they'd be mostly scaly with some feathering to keep warm. Aboriginals would look much like raptors, occults stocky and muscular like spinosauruses but lean more towards quadrupedal, and absconding like wingless dragons. They would be a rarer species, not too much rarer, for every four canines and felines, two reptilians as they would be a bit more exotic in color. I would also make mixed species for these. Here's my sad excuse for an aboriginal reptile concept:  |

I'd adopt one. ^.^ Though mixes may be a bit complicated.

I actually know exactly what I would do for the mixes, oddly enough. c:

The thing is, you'd have to have a mix of canine, one of feline, one of that mix. Then if you add ANOTHER species there's a whole new group of new mixes. XD

No, there's only be feline-canine, reptile-canine, reptile-feline. If a mix of one type bred with another mix, a simple punnet square would determine the species. I'm going to keep it simple because an RNG has to be able to determine the offspring.
canine-feline x canine-feline: 25% canine, 50% canine-feline, 25% feline
canine-feline x reptile-canine: 25% canine, 25% canine-feline, 25% reptile-canine, 25% reptile-feline
canine-feline x reptile-feline: 25% feline, 25% canine-feline, 25% reptile-canine, 25% reptile-feline
reptile-canine x reptile-canine: 25% canine, 50% reptile-canine, 25% reptile
reptile-canine x reptile-feline: 25% reptile, 25% canine-feline, 25% reptile-canine, 25% reptile-feline
reptile-canine x canine-feline: 25% canine, 25% canine-feline, 25% reptile-canine, 25% reptile-feline
reptile-feline x reptile-feline: 25% reptile, 50% reptile-feline, 25% feline
reptile-feline x canine-feline: 25% feline, 25% canine-feline, 25% reptile-canine, 25% reptile-feline
I might as well list how mix x normal will be determined as well
canine x canine-feline: 50% canine, 50% canine-feline
canine x reptile-canine: 50% canine, 50% reptile-canine
canine x reptile-feline: 50% canine-feline, 50% reptile-canine
feline x canine-feline: 50% feline, 50% canine-feline
feline x reptile-feline: 50% feline, 50% reptile-feline
feline x reptile-canine: 50% canine-feline, 50% reptile-feline
reptile x reptile-canine: 50% reptile, 50% reptile-canine
reptile x reptile-feline: 50% reptile, 50% reptile-feline
reptile x canine-feline: 50% reptile-canine, 50% reptile-feline
Offspring that come out as a mix would have their coat determined like the rest of the mixes, but offspring that come out normal would have their coat determined by their closest, same species ancestors.
Oh, and canine-reptiles and feline-reptiles are very similar, as I using the same base lineart for them with a few small adjustments.

Yes but as the new species appear, even more mixes will appear. That's what I'm saying. ^.^; Even if there's no three-way mixes it's still a workload after so many.

Well it's not like new species are going to be made every week, if every year, so I'm not worried.

I guess so. I wonder what sort of species will be released. It'd be neat to have a flying or aquatic eventually, though the aquatic could be a bit of a problem unless it's something like an otter that can move around on land as well...

I don't think a flying species would ever come along, mostly because that would be unfair to the species that can't fly. It really just depends on what I can/like to draw and what the other staff agree with.

Don't see how it's much different from some having teleportation and others not, but I trust your guys' judgment on that. ^.^

It would be different because teleportation is a perk of evolving, if aboriginals would already be able to fly what would the point be in evolving?
I don't really see avians being a major species anyhow, as there's going to be a lot of avian companions in the future.

They could start out as kiwis and evolve into eagles or something. XD But I see.
