Bision
A hybrid of Bison + Lion
The Bision is a formidable hybrid creature combining the robust physique of a bison with the regal mane and predatory features of a lion. This creature possesses a muscular build, standing at about 7 feet tall at the shoulder, with a massive head adorned with a lion-like mane that transitions into short, shaggy fur resembling that of a bison. Its powerful limbs are equipped with sharp claws, while its large, curved horns provide both defense and a means to assert dominance within its territory.
