Description
Dawon are large tiger-like humanoids. They are 7 to 8 feet tall, and have distinctly feline facial features. They have thick, plush striped fur, with light cream fur on their hands, face, and front torso. Most of them have 2 to 3 foot tails.
Comments
Dawon are usually solitary and territorial. They will attack other humanoids with little provocation, preferably from ambush. They enjoy swimming, but much prefer to sit in the sun and play with their still-twitching food. While tactically astute, Dawon tend to suffer from over-confidence and vanity.
Abilities
Dawon are skilled warriors, although terrible farmers and mages. They prefer large bladed weapons, or metal claws that enhance their already considerable close-in fighting skills. They usually eschew missile weapons. They may wear light armour when engaged in military operations.
