You should also feel free to get creative with scars, pride markings, braids, tassels, and anything else that may set them apart from the pride. You can also shift the color for the mane (for male Leonin anyway). You can play around with their fur color to an extent, mostly they have the tawny or golden fur, and rarely they have dark brown, black, or even white fur. I’m afraid to say this doesn’t give a whole lot of wiggle room beyond “lion man” as a description.
Leonin are muscular, covered in fur, stand 6 to 7 feet tall, have feline tails, and their heads look damn near identical to those of lions. Unlike tabaxi that get a generic “cat” description to work from, Leonin are very definitively lions. The gods have failed them in their eyes, and they’re determined to do better on their own without some deity’s strings attached. That confidence, self-reliance, and pride is the core of Leonin culture and philosophy. Leonins love any opportunity to prove themselves, and usually come out on top. Leonins tend to love fighting in all its forms, from traditional sparring to arguments and debate. Once the cold reception has worn off, most Leonin are prideful, confident, and competitive. Given time anyone can earn their trust, though humans and tritons will have their work cut out for them. However, the Leonin understand that an individual is not the culture they came from.

More than once this has led to full on wars, but the Leonin now coexist in peace with their neighbors, as long as they keep to their own territory. Many other peoples (humans in particular) still regard the Leonin with suspicion due to their ancient allegiance to the archons. Leonin guard their territory well, and non-Leonin usually get a cold reception. Most non-Leonin rarely get to see all that, however. While this may sound primitive, the Leonin are no savages and their homes are often decorated with woven textiles, bone sculpture, and intricate pottery. Most prides live in either tent villages or dens dug into the foothills. Most Leonin live among the plains of Oreskos, an area of great golden fields and savannas nestled in between the foothills of the Katachthon and the Oraniad Mountains. Most female Leonin will stay within the pride they were born into, while the males will wander and marry into other prides. Leonin have a matriarchal society, and each pride is led by an elder female called a “speaker”. In the ancient past they served the archons (a service that still leaves a bitter taste among the other races) and they do not intend to make the same mistake twice. Leonin are prideful and self-reliant, and most have no need of gods to coddle them. While there is an odd devout Leonin (usually to Nylea or Heliod) most regard them at best as a nuisance and at worst as the cause for all mortal woes. They don’t deny their existence (it’s quite difficult to ignore the deities when their titanic forms stroll past) but rather they denounce them as unworthy of worship. Unlike every other civilization on Theros the Leonin have rejected the gods. Leonin prides are close-knit communities within Theros, isolated in their “blasphemy”. Does their pride hold muster? Sharpen your claws and practice your best roar as we go through everything you need to know. These kings of the savannah are brand new to D&D, and while they technically only exist so far in the world of Theros, you can expect some new Leonin characters to roar into your next adventures. Where the tabaxi are catfolk, the Leonin are lionfolk with muscular jaws, claws, and resplendent golden manes. Mythic Odysseys of Theros gave us some new catfolk that are far more ferocious than their distant tabaxi cousins.
