Name:
Smauron

Age:
Unknown.
Is thought to be an elderly lynx at this point.

Gender:
Male

Species:
Egyptian Great Lynx

Appearance:
Egyptian great lynx are about 90% bigger than European lynx. Their size allows them to hunt and kill prey or enemies much larger than them.
Their claws are approximately 4 cm long.
Though, there were found some with over 7 cm long claws, which makes them a kill-machine.
Front teeth of these animals resemble saber teeth quite a bit.
Because of their size, they can't fit in the mouth, so they stick out, therefore making the Egyptian great lynx a terrifying creature.
They have golden collar necklace with bright shining diamonds. Some also have more gold on their bodies.
On their back, there is a saddle, used for riding. The saddle is too covered with gold or silver.
The rider holds on to their tight fur while on the go.

Personality:
Interestingly enough, as far as personality goes, they are quite similar to regular cats.
For the most part that is.
They don't like to be touched, unless you are their rider.
These animals get attached to their rider and will only allow them to hop on their back.
They are also adventurous creatures, who love exploring foreign lands.

Background:
The Egyptian Great Lynx could have been found in the Sahara in the past, most commonly in various oases, or even in rare cases, in Pharaoh's homes.
People loved them because of their exceptional size and strength. Usually they used them in purposes like hunting, or even defenses from enemies from distant lands who wanted to
to conquer the rich Oasis of the Sahara and the black treasure that was said to be under the ground. The Egyptian Great Lynx were the top hunters, grabbing the prey even bigger than theirs.
They were also known for being able to survive even in the desert wilderness for more than 5 weeks without food and, as it is only known by the stories, and even 2 weeks without water.
These animals were ruthless to their opponents, with their sharp claws they could have given you deep and deadly wounds, because of which not even the best medics could have cured you.

Years passed, and so has the age of people. And those who were called the riders, the most experienced warriors. As the years have passed, there also came many diseases.
Egyptians treated their illnesses very well, they were experienced, but nothing could be done to prevent what was about to happen.

Unfortunately, with that, another one came. The last one. The one everyone feared, the death that they called Plague.

Years and years have passed, and the disease did not go away. Civilizations have been lost. Thousands of living creatures. But one species has survived the disease.
One type of animal that disease could not touch. The Egyptian Great Lynx were immune to the plague. After long and rough summers, people disappeared.
The disease had swallowed everything in front of it, and so did them.

These animals, unfortunately are now left alone on this planet. With no humans to teach and train them, no food in sight and barely any left for the cubs.

So, after ages of waiting, the rest of Egyptian Great Lynx decided to take a long journey to the far North.

But when they arrived at their destination, they were unpleasantly surprised.
The Northern Lions pride occupied an area that everyone claimed to be empty, until recently.

When they were attacked, the rest of starved and tired Egyptian Great Lynx gathered all their strength which they could and tried to resist the great power from the North.
Dozens died in that battle. Now known as 'The Northern Battle'. The battle in which there are only a few, dozens as it is said, Egyptian Great Lynx survived.
And with them, so did Smauron. The strongest and fastest beast of their area. Smauron had no offspring, he was just an old warrior now.
Which in the past reigned with the Pharaohs, who was led by the most powerful Pharaoh that lived during their time.
Smauron, like other animals, lost everything after the death of his rider. Never, no one will ride on Smauron, as well as others.

It is rumored that the lost passengers, who managed to escape dangerous lions, are now settled far in the North. In the highest mountains far above the clouds.
They do not know how many of them are there, just by stories.

It's said that they are waiting for people to rise again, so that their offsprings reign over Sahara once more.
