Wemics
Wemics, another race of half beast half man heritage like Minotaurs and Centaurs. Wemics though are half lion and half man beings that live more on their "beast side". Their body is of a lion and their upper torso like Centaurs is humanoid. Wemics have golden/brown/near-black fur covering their feline half. Wemic's hair on their heads is thick like a lions mane, and flares out giving a "barbarian look". Their facial features are quite feline in appearance; they have golden/green/brown slited eyes with a feline nose. Also like lions they can retract their claws, they can of course use these claws in combat.
They are not known for their use of advanced technology or weaponry, mainly sticking to simple clubs or javelins; with stone heads or tips. Wemics have been known to trade for steel weapons though.Their society is tribal in nature, and like lions they live in prides.
Despite the seeming primitive nature of their culture, Wemics have been known to use magic like other races.
