Leandru

==Appearance==
The Leandru stand about the height of a normal human, but are covered with thick golden hair. Their men have manes, normally auburn, brown, or gold, while women have a patch of hair on top of their heads that grow similar to female humans. A female Leandru grows this hair out throughout their lives, never cutting it, and to do so for either gender is considered humiliating. They have normal hands, although they do end in sharp claws, but their feet are like paws and contribute to the Leandru’s ability to change posture from 2-legged to 4-legged. They have the faces of lions and lionesses, complete with pointed ears, slotted green or gold eyes, whiskers, and sharp fangs.
==Occupations==
Leandru are primarily warriors, although they have the ability to do well with any but the most magical of professions. Certain tribes have shamans and healers.
==Homeland==
Leandru live in nomadic groups called Prides, and the two best well known are in Northern Dominia and Northeastern Daleham.
==Languages==
Pridetongue.
==Attitude==
The Leandru are a race of humanoid lions, strongly tribal, living in prides that roam freely in the wilderness, especially the plains of Vegma. They are warlike, but only as far as their survival is concerned. They kill to eat and protect themselves, but never for sport or conquest. For many centuries they have been content to roam wildly in the countryside, keeping to themselves and living peaceably with their prides, but the encroachment of man has driven them to do one of two things: learn to coexist with them and move into his cities under his organization, or defend themselves by covertly destroying the humans that threaten their
lifestyle.
