[ Ｗｈａｔ ｉｓ ａｎ Ａｍｉｚｏｎ？ ]
An Amizon (or Ami) is a bear-sized creature characterized by a canine body, lion paws, dragon nostrils, a thick mane that extends all the way into a snowleopard-like tail, and a pair of small, feathered wings. Though they can't fly with these wings, they're useful for balancing in the air and making extraordinary leaps.
[ Ａｍｉｚｏｎ Ｌｉｆｅｓｔｙｌｅ]
Amizons are a very adaptable species that can live in almost any climate. While some live in large wolf-like packs of up to 30, loners or smaller family units aren't too infrequent. They work together to take down large prey.
Their wings are an important part of their lifestyle, as they use them to display shows of territorial dominance. They also grow bigger with age (Amizons are thought to be immortal), and only ancient, wise elders have the ability to fly.
