[QUOTE="BB Shockwave, post: 9552365, member: 6799257"] Wemics have always been a different thing from Lamia. They are totally non-magical anthropomorph Lion-taurs. IE the upper body is a fur-covered anthropomorph lion too, with fangs and cat ears and a mane for males. [ATTACH=full]392202[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]392203[/ATTACH] Lamiae are also Lion-taurs but their upper bodies are always Human-like. They are highly magical evil beings too. However, they used to be female only. The ones you think of are the Noble Lamiae who have serpentine lower bodies, those could be male or female. They are a race to their own, but can mate with the female Lion-bodied Lamiae.
