I was reading about the Roman Mysteries of Mithras (a cult centered around the god Mithras), and one of their major symbols was the Leontocephaline, a lion-headed man. It seemed like exactly the sort of thing that Square would misappropriate and mangle for a monster and/or miniboss (in the tradition of Gilgamesh and Enkidu, but not quite as awesome). Anyway, Leocephas is a general who serves (big) bad Mithras (forthcoming?) out of honest loyalty to the man who saved his people. He is a competent leader, and a formidable warrior in his own right. Or not. It's your game.

It would be a lot more useful if animated.
Looks good though.
@Clrg: I think that that's the third time I've gotten that. Though the style it's intended for isn't animated, I'm definitely considering making an animated version (though it would probably have a few less colors and such).
