Shisa

Bestiary
''Shisa are lion-like creatures, easily recognized by their soft, white furred bodies which contrast against the crimson plumes of fur found on each of their legs, their tail, their rib cages, and their mane. They are incredibly rare outside of Southern Isovarrah, where they are seen as a good omen. They potentially can live to be over 1000 years old. They are born about the size of a common wolf, but by their latest stages in life they can be as large as even some small wyrms. Some shisa are capable of producing fire from their mouth. This has lead to a multitude of legends among the Isovarran people - most of which involve the Shisa being some form of conduit or living embodiment of the Sun. Shisa rarely form bonds with any other creatures, but they are seen as extremely protective of those they trust. The name Shisa comes from the Shai words Shi (meaning "other" or "friend") and Saht (meaning "sun" or "light").''
