Rumors posit wandering the Hyperborean Wildernesses, ranging from woods to Boreal forests, to the plains, and prairies wander cwicked lions of extraordinary power and size with a hunger for the flesh of men. Some Greecian sages believe these to be related to the Lion of Nemea that Herucles himself bested, be they siblings having lived for so long or decendants it is unknown. They are rumored to be reaching lengths of eleven feet and heights of 6 feet at the shoulder and estimates of weight would guess 1000 pounds.
