The Lions of Kheshatta eat people

As with all things in Age of Conan, the lions of Kheshatta are not to be taken lightly -- or in otherwords don't mess with these cats. They're big, mean and have no issue with turning your body into a bloodied, mangled, vulture magnet. Should you decide to confront one of these lions, it would be a good idea to keep in mind that they hunt in packs -- or prides -- and will generally fight in numbers. Fair? No, but who said anything about primal beasts being good sports?

We're pretty big on lore here at Massively, it's something of a passion for us -- especially when it's Robert E. Howard related lore. So to say we get a kick out of reading these new lore bits is like saying dragons are kind of popular among fantasy fans.

That's a lion? Maybe the colors are right, but the face looks like an angry puppy.
