Raffle Lionesses - Lioden Wiki (2024)

HistoryReport

As mentioned above, raffle lionesses, aka "special lionesses", are lionesses designed and created by Katze (#3) to contain new and exclusive markings that can only be achieved through breeding! They were previously created by Xylax (#4) and occasionally created by Clay, a former community manager.

Each Friday, the raffle lioness is swapped out for a new one, and the old one goes to her new pride.

Raffle lionesses have their own unique bases (referred to as "raffle" or "special" bases) and markings (referred to as "raffle" or "special" markings) that they can come with. However, these lionesses can also have regular custom or NCL bases and markings, and may even come with a marking only applicable by an event applicator!

You can find a list of all raffle markings on the Special Markings page!

There are certain bases, eyes, markings, and mutations that you will never see on a raffle lioness. If you head on over to the Base Genetics page, you'll see a wide array of different bases. Any bases that can be applied using event or gem applicators, received from the July event, or bred from hybrids will not show up on a raffle lioness. Any eyes that come from Gorilla Enclave applicators are not able to be used, and applicator markings purchased with referral markings or from the Gorilla Enclave will not be used, either. In regards to mutations, there will never be a raffle lioness with the Deaf, Double Uterus, Dwarfism, Overgrown Fur, any Patches, any Piebald, Primal, Primal (Felis), or Primal (Ferus) mutations. Hybrid raffle lionesses are exclusive to the Christmas season.

If you see a mutated lioness in the Special Lioness area, you're not dreaming - occasionally, the admins will decide (at random!) to make a lioness mutated! Any mutation that is not listed above can be chosen, with the most common ones being mane mutations. For Christmas 2016 and 2017, second generation Leopons were given out as a way to show the players some appreciation. For Christmas 2018, a second generation Tigon was given out... and for Christmas 2019, a first generation Tigon was the raffle lioness!

So, you're interested in this lady and want to have a chance at welcoming her into your pride. The first thing you have to know is: your king must be at Dreamboat Impression in order to impress her. Any other impression level will not be permitted to enter her raffle—she only has eyes for the best of the best!

If your king is a Dreamboat, make your way either to the Explore page or the News section!

In Explore, you'll see this image—click on it to go to her page.

On the News section, you'll see this image—click on it to go to her page.

Impressing a lioness can only be done by a Dreamboat king, and costs a one-time (for the week) 50 SB fee. If there's a special lady your king has his eye on, make sure you boost his impression up before the end of the week in order to have a chance to bring that lovely lady home! Impression can be boosted using Dove Feast (which raises your impression by 20% for each item used), fighting NPCs, or claiming lionesses in Explore.

Note that your entry for the raffle lioness stays even if you retire your king during the week. Have no fear about retiring your king—you paid for your entry, and your last king was a Dreamboat, so it still counts!

First off, congratulations on being the special player out of all others to win a raffle lioness!

When you are the lucky winner, you'll receive a Game Notification entitled "New Lioness!", which looks like the following.

If you've already been lucky enough to win a raffle lioness before (wow!), you won't receive the achievement again, of course. It's a one-and-done deal.

The lioness will be waiting for you in your Unsorted Lions section, freshly 2 years of age and in heat for your handsome pride leader!

You can do anything you wish with her, as she is your lioness, after all! You can breed her, sell her, kill her, keep her as a trophy, change her appearance, what have you. If you're the winning recipient of a raffle lioness with a newly-released marking, you may want to make sure you have an Ochre Gnawrock on-hand to securely pass down this marking. Raffle markings can certainly fetch a pretty penny when they are first released.

While using an Ochre Gnawrock to secure the passage of one of her rare markings may be a swell idea, an even better one would be to use a Crunchy Worm on her! Crunchy Worms work per-litter and have a 25% chance per litter to activate and duplicate the mother's appearance onto one of her cubs. Note that this only counts for her appearance, not her heritage, mutation, or stats. Duplicated cubs can be either female or male, and can even have mutations of their own!

Along with raffle lionesses having their own unique bases and markings, they also have VERY special backgrounds, only achievable from winning a raffle lioness! These backgrounds are easily identified by the "[Raffle]" located in the beginning of their item names. Let's take a look at these backgrounds!

An important thing to note is that raffle backgrounds are cycled in four at a time. When each background in a cycle reaches a rough total amount of 11 in game, they are then retired, and in comes a new cycle! If you have your eyes set on a background that's from a retired cycle, fear not—they are available to purchase within the Gorilla Enclave shop, at a price of 200 Monkey Teeth per background!
