Tigon

Tigons, sometimes called Ligers, are a hybrid between Lionkin & Tigiren. Contrary to real life tigons, they're often still fertile, and may be called interchageable between their hybrid names. However the case is strongly normal that a tigran & lioness pair formed the offspring, save for some rare exceptions and more heavily mixed locations like Eldaras where a mane-lord may have more unique sway or charm over a tigress.
Among qualities found in Tigons, they are often exempt from some genetic oddities found elsewhere. They are produced in smaller liters or even commonly as single-child kittens, and sometimes may struggle with odds to produce high litters themselves unlike either of their purest special parents. They tend to have a low chance of inheriting the Abdominal Combustion flaw, or are luckily under-represented in known cases of it occuring. Likewise lionkin weight hormonal changes are less seen in their kind, though they do have a high chance of still developing Lion Lard properties if they have strong fat stores extracted. They typically live a bit longer than lionkin, but shorter than some of the healthiest tigiren, and develop large, stocky, and butch builds. Typically if the tigon is a female, and from a Pawslovic lionkin (of either gender), they will inherit steatopygic genes and develop a plumper rear as they mature. Other physical traits may or may not include mane/hair growth, a tufted tail-tip, and faded-to-strong stripes in the fur coat.
