Editing Wemic (section)

==Physiology==
Wemics are, to put it bluntly, leonic centaurs: a humanoid upper torso extending from what would be the neck of a lion. From head to rump, wemics are 10 to 12 feet long, and they stand 6 to 7 feet tall from their front paws to the tops of their heads. They weigh around 600 pounds. Add in the powerful claws (retractile on the hands and forelimbs), and you have an imposing sight. A wemic is covered in fur, for the most part; editions have differed on whether the humanoid portion is as fur-covered as the rest of them, or just "unusually hairy" by human standards. One of the vaguest things is just how feline featured the wemics are; art and textual descriptions have presented them as everything from "human faced" to "anthro lion-faced" to "somewhere in between" - their Ecology Article in Dragon Magazine has a small bust of male and female wemics potraying the male as an ugly, almost [[orc]]-like mixture of human and feline features, whilst the female has beautiful and perfectly human features. The one thing that all renditions agree on is that wemics have leonic eyes (golden irises, vertical slit pupils) and lion-like ears mounted high on their heads, and that males sport huge, bushy, mane-like masses of hair that spill from their heads.

So, if you want to go the "standard RPG route" and have males being tauric lion-furries and females are tauric lion-[[catgirl]]s, well, you're justified.

"Monsters of Faerun" also presents the existence of "optionally canon" Mountain Wemics, whose forms are based on the cougar (or "mountain lion") instead of the standard lion. These are somewhat smaller, have different tails, and lack manes.
