Lion-Man (species)

''This article is about the species. For the character, see The Lion-Man. For other uses, see Lion-Man (disambiguation).''

A Lion-Man is a specie of creature living inside the Castle of the Barens. Like every creature in the castles, it is hostile, and extremely dangerous. In the current series of COTB films, it is usually represented by The Lion-Man which is not a true Lion-Man creature.

Physiology
A Lion-Man is a 2.13 meter (7 foot) tall bipedal anthropomorphic "werelion" armed with long retractable claws on each human-like hand. It is a very hostile creature which usually devours and destroys almost any living thing it comes across. Lion-Mans have a very short lifetime, in which its flesh decomposes very fast, requiring it to sustain itself by eating flesh of other living things almost all the time.

Lion-Mans have a very serious case of shedding; they lose hair at a very fast rate. Their facial structure and appearance differs greatly to a natural lion’s. The Lion-Man has a darker, more slender and bony face and head, making it look more “evil”. Its eyes vary depending on which individual, but every lion man has a dark circle around the eyes. Lion-Mans have a very short life expectancy… they are probably the most victimized group of creatures that dwell in the castle, because they are constantly tormented by giant lice, various deadly bacteria, and Flesh Eating Worms.

Trivia

 * A lion-man lives for three months.
 * Prof. Tim mentioned he is especially scared of Lion-Mans.
