Types of Bone Lion

 * Naked Bone Lion
 * The most famous species, most of the bony plates of the naked bone lion protrude through the skin, while the rest of the body is covered in a thick green-black hide.


 * Boulder Bone Lion/"Chubby Bone Lion"
 * Somewhat of an opposite to the naked bone lion, the boulder bone lion is wide set with none or very few of the bony plates protruding through the skin.
 * Requiem Bone Lion/"Tiger Mimic"
 * An uncommon and notably passive species, the requiem bone lion is best thought of as an aquatic tiger, sharing it's colouration and a terrifying speed in the water. It has the best and most fat reserves of any species due to it's more sedentary lifestyle. It can be easily recognized by it's dorsal fin trail, and tiger-like ears in addition to it's bone plate face.
