On 'Things I Wish Were Adressed More'...
Did you know that Leonidas seemed to have a pet panther?
Sure, it could just be some random panther they slapped onto his summer picture to give it 'exotic' vibes, but then in the Cygames creators' art book they had some dragalia things that never got published as presumably wyrmprints. Here's one of them in all its glory:
It's beautiful for many reasons. But notably, it's the same panther, trying to either make friends or eat Emile’s cat as Leonidas and Leif look for it and Harle just finds the situation funny. This isn't just a one off. His panther is also in one of his unique ability icons for his summer variant, as well as his dragondrive icon, so it seemed to have some import:
And all I can say is of course Leonidas wouldn't content himself with a normal cat, noooo. He just had to tame a panther. Oh, Leo. Too bad we didn't get all the details on his panther, since he's probably had it for some time if Leo, Emile, Harle, and Leif are in the same room together. Maybe he raised it from kittenhood. What's the bet that cat is spoiled and fed only the finest choices of meat and fanned constantly in Leonidas' manor in Valkaheim so it doesn't get overheated? That the armor bits are magically enchanted to turn panther into super, nigh-unkillable panther? He wants only the best panther to help maul his enemies, after all!
So yeah. Leo's panther. I want to know everything about it!
Edit: EMERGENCY UPDATE LOOK AT HIS PANTHER IN THIS WYRMPRINT PLEASE:
