Rexx the Winged Lion

Lore
Feral chimeras had bred and produced Rexx, a wild lion. His wings and tail were weak, but did not rot away. He had no enemies and had lived a long, peaceful existence. He had grown and achieved prosperity through years of interacting with nature. To him, humans were not the creators of life. They were merely a weak, distant species, mediocre at best.
