Artwork
An ancient extinct creature, Leon was once the symbol for one of two royal factions. Leon’s legacy is defined by tall tales of primal power and unpredictability. By contrast its respectful relationship with Mono is said to keep the world in harmony. Archaic writings say that any creature that stood against Leon would turn to dust.
