Lion

The Lion is a feline predator, a huntable animal in Age of Empires, Age of Mythology, and an Unnamed 2nd Age of Empires II HD expansion. They are also treasure guardians in Age of Empires III.

Age of Empires
Lions are a very dangerous food source in Age of Empires and are the most dangerous natural unit in the game. Their fast speed and high attack rate makes them too dangerous for a single villager to gather from. Between 2 and 4 villagers are recommended, although the less you use the more damage one of them will take (with the possibility of one dying).

Lions also appear as tame and controllable, they're also befriended to the players (if you choose the color of your team), although they only appear in the scenario editor. Both the game image and the icon are identical to that of the Wild Lions.

Age of Mythology
The Lion is a huntable animal, but it will also attack any villager that wanders too close, and doesn't provide much food compared to the cost of taking it down.

"A Pair of Golden Lions" is a relic that will provide the player with two Golden Lions that will be under the control of the player, and respawn after being killed.

Age of Empires III
The Lion is a powerful Treasure Guardian found in Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties on Asian maps.
