Lionkin

The Lionkin ("Sinh" in their language) of Caleonidia are a proud, noble, and loyal species that possesses a deep connection to nature that is both magical and spiritual in origin. 
They are descendants of an ancient line of powerful shape-changing creatures and still can shapechange a few times per day: full humanoid form, humanoid with a lion's head, or full lion form. The skin of their humanoid form usually has a deep brown tone.

They are protectors, warriors, healers, and keepers of secret knowledge. The Lionkin guard the city's borders with fierce loyalty but rarely allow outsiders in; many secrets remain hidden within their walls. Over time, these secrets have been passed down through generations, carefully preserved by each successive generation so that they may continue to serve as guardians for future generations.
