Lion King

Lion King refers to a predator in Age of Empires that resembles a Lion but is much stronger in terms of attack and hit points. Although the amount of food is similar to an ordinary lion, the rate in which the food deteriorates is much slower as with all "animal kings" found in the game. Lion Kings can only be summoned through the GRANTLINKSPENCE cheat code as well as the Campaign mode of the game. Lion Kings are also available in the Scenario Editor.

Gameplay
Lion Kings provide a negative source of food since it costs more food to get rid of them than by replacing it with a new Villagers. Since only 2 villagers can be spawned upon acquiring the food, it is best to leave them alone and allow elite units to get rid of it.
