Bugan

Bugan

The mostly desert-dwelling Bugan are not well known, and those that encounter the Bugans often mistake them for strange animals or worse. Despite this, Bugans are sentient and may be just as intelligent as most humanoids. Bugan often live peacefully amidst tribes and small towns of other species, appointing themselves as defenders of their chosen lands. This can cause them some grief, as Bugan are generally longer-lived than their friends and neighbors. Bugans have traits from both lions and wolves, however they have brilliant red fur and often their tails are alight with fire.
