'''Giant lions''' are strong carnivorous animals found in savage tropical areas. They often appear in small hunting groups of 2 to 3 animals. Giant lions are much larger than many other "giant" creatures, growing to more than 8 times the size of a regular [[lion]], or slightly more than 1/3 the size of an [[elephant]]. Occasionally, giant lions may appear as [[mount]]s during a [[siege]]. Their chief advantage over the larger [[giant tiger]] and [[giant polar bear]] is their much greater [[gait|speed]]. | '''Giant lions''' are strong carnivorous animals found in savage tropical areas.
