Your Strength score increases by 2.

As night time hunters, Lion laguz have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Lion laguz have an excellent sense of smell. You have advantage on all Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell.

You have the ability to transform into a powerful lion-like creature. Using your action, you transform into a creature with statistics in the table below for 1 minute. You then revert to your normal form. You automatically revert if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die. Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until after you finish a short or long rest.

While this transformation is very similar to that of a druid's wildshape, it is not the same, read the following rules about transformation carefully.

While you are transformed, the following rules apply:

• Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics presented in the Lion Form statblock, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies.
• When you transform, you assume the Lion Form's hit points. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form, For example, if you take 10 damage in lion form and have only 1 hit point left, you revert and take 9 damage. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren't knocked unconscious.
• You can't cast spells. Transforming breaks your concentration on a spell you've already cast and prevents you from taking actions that are part of a spell.
• You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the lion form is physically capable of doing so. You also retain any special senses possessed by your normal form.
• Your equipment merges into your new form. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.
