Naming Customs[]

Leopards are named after verbs (e.g. Chase, Slink, Prowl), or if not, a characteristic (e.g. Shadow, Sleek). Their surname consists of "Born of (Mother's name)" (e.g. Chase Born of Prowl, Seek Born of Slink).

Lifestyle[]

Leopards live in groups called "Leaps," and are nocturnal (Active at Night).

Male Leopards are particularly solitary while females break their solitude when raising cubs.[1]

Male Leopards sometimes fight other leopards for territory. If the previous owner of said territory is female, the male may take her as his mate and if the leopardess has any cubs in her custody, the male will kill the cubs to keep his bloodline dominant.[2]

Leopards address their maternal aunts as "Mother-Sister" and presumably they refer their maternal uncles as "Mother-Brothers" while paternal aunts/uncles are presumably addressed as "Father-Sisters/Brothers".

Leopards aren’t particularly social towards anyone outside of their family members and believe that they should only trust themselves.

Creation Myth[]

The Leopards of The Mountain have a mythology about their origins. According to legend, the Mountain created the Leopards to keep the Gorillas in their place hence the rivalry between the two species.
