[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5974358, member: 57383"] I've come up with the following for the background, it includes a slight tweaking of the description (I added in a "bobbed" tail and a shoulder height): [INDENT][I]A silvery-brown cat with small, dark brown spots. It has long legs with big paws, a short bobbed tail, and large ears that end in pointed tufts.[/I] The giant lynx is a larger, slightly magical relative of a normal lynx. They are nocturnal and prefer to live in boreal forests and cold scrublands. Giant lynx hunt most of the smaller animals that live in the taiga forests, stalking everything from lemmings to the smaller deer. They are fast and stealthy enough to catch birds. A giant lynx is as intelligent as most humanoids, but has little or no interest in "civilization". It uses its intelligence for survival, adapting its behavior to fit its habitat rather than trying to change the habitat to suit them like civilized humanoids might. These great cats are renowned for being extraordinarily perceptive, and can easily spot snares and tracks. A giant lynx is about 4 feet long and weighs around 80 pounds. They typically stand 2¼ feet tall at the shoulder, due to their long legs. Giant lynx speak a dialect of Slyvan. They rarely know any other language. [/INDENT] I've updated the [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/5957670-post1335.html"][B]Giant Lynx Working Draft[/B][/URL] with the above, and also fixed the "lynxes" to "lynx" so it has consistent pluralisation. The AD&D sources used "lynx" for a plural, so I decided to use that. We're about done. Just the red questions to go. The only change I'd like to make is altering Environment to "Cold forests", since. (a) Although lynx may live on arctic tundra and temperate scrubland, they're mainly a forest animal. (b) The Monstrous Manual entry has "Climate/Terrain: Subarctic forest". It looks like we're done with the Lynx if the above meets your approval. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
