Animal · 2 hexes · SM +1 Lion (Monsters on Automatic; answers SRD 3.5, SRD 5.1)
A pride hunts in daylight when it suits and at night when it does not. The lionesses do the work, spread wide through grass that hides them completely until the last twenty yards, and the male arrives afterwards to take what he wants. A single lion is manageable. A pride is a flanking maneuver.

- Description
- Written by Dungeons on Automatic, released under cc_by_4_0
- Independently authored GURPS build. The SRD supplies the creature identity this record answers to and nothing else: no SRD statistics, wording or presentation is reproduced, and no third-party GURPS conversion was used as an input.
- Answers the SRD heading(s): Lion (SRD 5.1); Lion (SRD 3.5).
- Racial template: 7 points across 22 traits, plus 3 racial skill(s) worth 16 points.
- Every trait is drawn from the project's controlled GURPS vocabulary in scripts/srd/trait-library.mjs, which carries the page reference and published cost for each entry.
- sourceSystem is recorded as doa_fixture because that is the package contract's value for project-authored material; the SRD headings this record answers are in provenance.coversSourceIdentities.
- Ratings are recomputed through the consumer CER path on every build, so a mechanics change cannot leave a stale rating behind.
- Typical Stats, damage and ratings are derived from the racial template rather than authored beside it, so the sheet and the stat block cannot disagree.
- GCS ancestry draft: gcs/lion.gct
- The published Move folds this creature's Enhanced Move into a single figure.
- Treasure and grappling are not authored for this record and ship as explicit nulls, which reads as known absent rather than forgotten; `lair` carries a short habitat note instead, because where a creature dens is an encounter fact rather than a loot one.
