Description
The Black Lion is an ancient, twisted, offspring of the sphynx, beastial devolved and lost among the lands of Gahenna. Its fur is pitch black, and a mane that fades from black to blood red and its body resembles a standard lion. Its face resembles a fey lion, but with deep black shinning eyes. They are cruel, fast and strong. When they slip from the outerplanes into the underdark they cause havoc and are almost always the focus of hunts. The svirfneblin, deep gnomes, treat them as particularly fearful beasts almost verging on demons and can gain significant favour among their kind should they successfully find and kill one.
