The liman is a cathuman born from the breeding of a male lion and a female human. This combination produces an offspring with more lionistic features than if the reverse pairing had occured. That would produce a more tigeristic creature known as a huon. There is no scientific name assigned to this animal because of itรขยยs human assisted ancestory.
The liman is not to be confused with were-beings such as werewolves, or undead such as vampires.
"Dude, wtf is that - a were-lion?"
"No, fool, it's a liman!"
