Description

The lions of Argyle, while still extremely dangerous, haven't changed as much physically as other animals. However, due to the remnant magical relics, beacons, and other magical items scattered throughout Argyle, they have gained the ability to channel lighting. Though this group started as a very small subspecies, they eventually took over as the main group of lions on Argyle, using their new weapons to hunt other animals, and any tribesmen fool enough to get too close.
