Lion (animal)
The Lion is large cat that hunts in groups throughout Sarradon They are powerful beasts, with strength enough to kill a man with their claws or bite. Lions hunt in packs, prowling in the tall grass of savannah and watching for oppurtunities of attack. It's a common warning that if you can see the lion pride resting, just avoid them, but if you only see their eyes- you might be in danger.
It is rare for the Lion to be the hunted. Dusk has long since spread across the sky as we sit and watch a pair of lions gnaw on their leftovers. Tracking these beasts took hours, but the challenge ahead is far more formidable. We've hidden ourselves in the tall grass far enough away that the lions look almost like house cats. Slowly, but methodically, we move through the dry cover around us towards the two relaxing beasts. One lion, larger than its partner with a thicker mane, rises from their meal and lumbers towards a small pond in between us. I stop, and ready my
long range weaponand aim at the lion's upper chest, behind its bulky shoulder. My companions do the same, each of us holding our breath as the lion stops to sip from the pond. If our aim is not true, this can quickly turn chaotic, and violent.
