Homebrew Lionborn Species Details

lionborn are similar to many other beastfolk. They are generally over 6ft tall and weigh more than most people due to their muscles and size. Most lionborn have fur that is golden brown, often looking like the sun. They have long claws instead of nails that they use to take down prey. Most lionborn retain their predatorial nature but have now grown accustomed to eating vegetation as well, although not often. 

The lionborn were once a mighty race, but their time of greatness has been lost to the ages. Nowadays most lionborn live in small tribes scattered around the continent. They uphold a code to try and ensure the survival of their species.
