Growth & Feeding

Belly thresholds, life stages, partner riding, food prices, and stage timings.

Growth and Belly

Belly must stay over half full for growth to continue; growth stops while hungry.

The observed stages are Newborn → Juvenile → Subadult → Adult → Elder. Individual stage timing varies by rarity in the captured timing table; treat those values as observations, not guarantees.
