Dirty Paws

Tundra here.

This is a fanfic idea that has been nestled in my mind for a LONG time.

So please, do not steal.

Also, I recommend listening to the song "Dirty Paws" by Of Monsters And Men on repeat because its a great song.

Narrator's note- Introduction to the Species
These creatures have humanlike intelligence. They aren't at technology level yet, but they have bow&arrows and swords.

But, to get a full grasp on this species, you need to imagine this.

So, take any real animal (no mythical creatures like dragons, sorry) that has legs. Let's use a lion as an example.

Now, make this lion bipedal. A lion, standing on his back legs only.

Now slap on some clothes.

I know what you must be thinking. ''Furries?! Seriously?! I thought this was going to be an amazing, unique species!''

But let me assure you, they are not furries (though there's nothing wrong with them). And that's not all to the species anyways.

Now, take a special attribute from any real animal- a dolphin, a elephant, you name it- and add it to this character. Lets use SaberTooth Tiger fangs.

Getting the special attribute only happens when they reach the age of 13- they age by human time.

So this bipedal lion was just a bipedal lion for the first 13 years of his life. But on his 13th birthday, his fangs grew in.

Rather quickly.

But, you cant just give a attribute like that. No, you must create a small flaw. But also a upside.

The fangs are smaller then a normal SaberTooth's would be. But they are still frightening enough to make someone faint dead away if this lion is chasing you.

Also, readers, feel free to ask me questions in the comments. I will answer them here.
