Territory/Where their pride will be built/How they achieved this territory: This nomadic pride is set deep within a dry, sandy desert devoid of much vegetation or water. They must eat whatever they can find in the desert - even if it takes days. Water is scarce, so when the pride finds a watering hole they stay stationed there until it dries up and then they must travel again in search of water. This pride was mostly built by accident. Lions that wanted to go their own way, or those that were shunned from their pride, wandered into the desert hoping to find a new place for themselves. They never found it. Instead, they all wandered lost until finding each other. They are not a physically strong pride, but they will do anything to survive. Due to their home being in a hot desert with little food and water, they have pretty much no competition for their territory.

Inspiration/preferences/design prompt: I have no specific design prompt. I'm okay with anything given. However, I have a few preferences if they're allowed or just general ideas to get a feel for the character;
• A color pallete to match a desert theme - yellows, browns, white, silvers, greys
• Very tired and perhaps scrawny looking
• Doesn't look like he takes very good care of himself
• Not necessarily a bad guy, but doesn't have the patience to put up with something unless he isn't hungry. He is willing to do whatever it takes for himself and his pride to survive.
• Inspiration pictures for designs (does not have to be replicated): here and here.
