Variant: Tabaxi Pridehead
Description
With a flowing mane, strong face, and a powerful roar, pridehead tabaxi are similar to lions both in appearance and temperment. These fearsome tabaxi are rumored to be descended from tabaxi lords, tabaxi who were given power by demonic magic. None of the demons evil magic remains in their descendents, but the signs of their heritage remain. Prideheads are often the leaders of tabaxi clans, as growing a large mane is often seen as a sign of great potential.
