Hello, Sprouts
We have an update for you. We have some exciting projects that we will be sharing soon, but in the meantime, we wanted to inform you of some changes we have made. Also, there is an active Scavenger Hunt: Egg Hunt. This activity will be active until May 2024. Do not share locations in public Discord/Group
Mutations Overhaul
https://www.kingdomsofgriffia.com/characters/modifier/mutations
Since the beginning, the star, fool, and hollow mutations were categorized in a way where every star mutation was “cool, every fool mutation was “silly,” and every hollow mutation was “scary. Mutations have been with us since July 8th, 2016, and since then, has gone through changes, edits, additions, removals and so on. Recent feedback has made us realize that it was time to finally take a crack at this old feature.
We decided to rework the entire list of mutations to make it simpler and more clearly defined. This will help both new and old members use them more effectively. We have condensed each mutation list to 10 and reorganized them based on how they edit the Griffian.
- "Star" means adding something to the Griffian's body that was not there before. For instance, a different tail may seem unusual, but it is included because some Griffians do not have tails.
- "Hollow" refers to editing the Griffian's insides and how they function. "Eather Ooze" is an example of this, as Eather comes from within.
- "Fool" involves editing the Griffian's body itself. This includes changing the limbs and digits.
We have taken out some mutations that can be achieved with other features we did not have before. Here is the following list of items and Mutations we have removed.
- The Mutation known as "Item Head/Vegetable Head" has been removed. This is because this Mutation can now be achieved by unlocking the item form in combination with Splicing. All characters who previously had this mutation have now been given item form and splicing for free.
- It has been decided that the "No Face" Mutation will no longer exist. To make our Mutations more consistent, we no longer have Mutations that remove specific things, they will be combined with the Mutations that affect the same feature. To achieve a "No Face" appearance, "All Seeing" can be used to remove eyes, "Chomp" to remove the mouth, "Digits" to remove ears, and "Paws and Snoots" to remove the nose.
- Missing Hands and Feet has gotten the same treatment as “No Face” and can be created using the Mutation “Digit.”
Mascots Color Restrictions on Mutations.
We have yeeted the "free color" Mascot specific color restrictions for Mutations into the Void. Rejoice.
Glow Changes - Future
For a while, the "Glow" mutation served as a one-time edit that performed multiple actions. This has caused some confusion among users, so we have decided to divide "Glow" into five separate types of Glow. However, this change has not been implemented yet, and "Glow" will remain as a single, unlockable Mutation for the time being. When we are ready to make the change, we will notify users 30 days in advance. Once the change happens, all characters that have unlocked the "Glow" mutation will automatically have unlocked the five Glow Mutations. Users are encouraged to unlock “Glow” before the change is live to take advantage.
Mutation Changes At a Glance
Please keep in mind that due to the way the mutation system works, any new mutations you acquire will replace your old mutation slots. However, we have taken care of the conversion process for you. As a result of this update, some users may have more mutations unlocked after the mutations switch places.
