Possible Genetic Errors

I started a C3/DS game with a very limited genetic pool (I believe I had 2 male norns and one female, all of different breeds). This has resulted in some very cool coat patterns and, due to the inclusion of an Emerald Norn, slightly bizarre proportions in a few.

The weirdest mutation(?) I've seen so far is that I have a little tiny guy right now who apparently has no neck. You can see this when he is walking left or right. You can see his body and head, and between them, the background of the room he's in. This doesn't seem to harm him in any way (he can talk, seems able to eat, etc) but it looks silly. He's currently one of my favorites.

I am having another issue with a few second generation Norns, and I can't prove it's related to genetics, but I can't find any other explanation. Several Norns have died with Antigen 5 in their systems. This has happened in the Meso and the Home. There are no other Creatures near them, no bees, ants, or stingers. No other Creatures in the Meso/Home with them have Antigen 5 in their systems when these die, and there's no bacteria according to HoverDoc, so it doesn't seem to be environmental. My Grendels are usually in the Airlock, so I know they aren't to blame (I feed them and check up on them with HoverDoc, I'm not just blowing them to oblivion). I would normally assume that Norns had gotten into the jungle terrarium and come back to Home and died, but it's also happening in the Meso, where Norns cannot leave at all.

That no neck thing
Is not related to mutation,but rather tied to the sprites and its att files (skeleton) of the C2 converted breeds:
Emerald, Hebe(Desert) and Pixie Norns.
I allready done a fix patch for it(including fix for C1toDs breeds too). Will be released at some point along with some other stuff I made.

But yeah,thought I point that out :)

Oh, thanks Norngirl. I've been playing for a long time but I don't know the in-depth details of how the game works. I've learned a lot in the last couple days on this site.

I looked at your site and you've made some great stuff. I'm trying to imagine your Cupid breed mixed with Harlequin. That'd be so funny.

Your'e very welcome! :)
Ah yes,it's not easy to know,so don't worry.
But Indeed,there is many helpful sites around
and it is allready good you read things around,too!

Thank you kindly!
Yes there is more I have created,been busy
working on many things instead of release
one by one.

Funny you mention Cupid Hearts,but yes Im porting them to C3/Ds as Well,so that cross mix may be reality soon. :D
