Sand Lion

From the Lore Book
Many learned to fear the roar of the Sand Lion during the rise of the Khan's Dominion. Cadres of the fast-moving Lions often arrived ahead of the main horde, sowing confusion and panic in their wake. Their speed and ferocity make them choice mounts for the Dominion's scouts and spies.

Overview
A Warsprite Golem from the Arcanum Gudanna. The Sand Lion is known for its blistering speed - able to cross a battlefield or engage the enemy as fast as any other golem. It features average survivability for a warsprite if struck in combat, but has an excellent ability to dodge incoming attacks. It features two melee attacks - a powerful bite and a somewhat less damaging attack that limits its opponents ability to dodge later attacks. As an initial attacker, the Sand Lion can open up its opponents to crippling blows by larger golems.

The Sand Lion is one of six golems included in the Base Game Set.

Knights:

 * Vidhis(5) - the Lion has usually moved into a square before attacking; bonus damage is good.

Sand Widow
An alternate elite version of the Sand Lion, the Sand Widow is a member of the Black Widows elite forces that serve the Gudanna Dominion.
