Description *Brand NEW character*

Okay, I don't have much info on this guy. I don't even have a cub form for him yet This was kinda rushed...I'm hoping to do something better soon

But he's pretty gosh darn special (and only knows why )

All I can say is that he is descended from the Ethiopian blood line. (Told ya I would come up with something, Soooo much fun doing that Ethiopian mane!) Ethiopian lions are now extinct in the wild

His name means "teacher". It's pronounced "dah-beer".

Personality: Serious...with a hint of dry sarcasm. Very intelligent...sometimes too smart for his own good. Soft spoken. Not a leader of a pride yet, but has strong family bonds with his natal pride. A wanderer.

Physically: Average-sized male lion. Body is athletic but not overly muscular. Very scruffy with that thick mane (but thin around the ears). Mane extends down to middle of belly. Piercing brown eyes.

His pairing is tentative. But most likely will be with Kanya (that could be ruined come April!) HA! Poor Kanya.

OMG I just realized he has a VERY similar coloration to Kanya That was NOT done on purpose.

Yes, it seems to be a locational trait. Kinda like how white lions or king cheetahs are only found in South Africa. It's not very common, but I love the look of it

I'm not one for straying far outside the lines when it comes to anatomy and pelt coloration. Kanya is about as far as I will go

Wowowow, someone get me a fire extinguisher, because this guy is SMOKIN'.Β 

I LOVE this design. You have a real talent for combining realistic markings and anatomy with cartoony goodness. I'm jealous.


And oh my goodness! I'm the only one?! I feel special.

Glad you like him. I tried to incorporate Ethiopian lion qualities along with...err...some familiar qualities I see on a regular basis

Yes, not unlike the Barbary lion. Unfortunately the only remaining Ethiopian lions can only be found in zoos. But they are trying to repopulate and then reintroduce

Ahh he is so handsome!! Β Love the multi-colored mane and spots on the back legs! Before playing lioden and really paying attention to manes in lion documentation, I was anti multicolor, but in the last year or so they have grown so much on me. Looking forward to seeing more of this guy

Thanks! You were my inspiration for this guy! The pictures I saw of Ethiopian lions all seem to have that deep, rich black mane with a lighter colored crown. I loved it so much, I had to incorporate it
