Homebrew Wemic Species Details
Wemics come from warm, arid locales such as savannahs and deserts. They are nomadic hunters and gatherers who live in close-knit tribes called prides. They are fast on their feet and quick to temper. In their culture, there is a patriarchy, although the women run most things. Their warriors are among the toughest and their will is stronger than iron. They are similar to centaurs because they have the upper body of a human with the lower quadrupedal form of a lion. Males also have a lion-like head while the females have a human look to theirs. Their lower claws are lethal, and they are dangerous in groups. Most important is their ability to survive, which they seem to have a natural instinct to do, whether it is following tracks or finding water.
