[Basic Beast Profile of the world.
Species: Fire Leopard
Rank: D-Rank - A-Rank
Type: Beast-Class Predator
Affinity: Fire / Ambush
Threat Level: High
Profile Summary: A solitary apex predator native to volcanic borderlands and ash valleys. Known for its intelligence and precision, the Fire Leopard prefers ambush tactics, striking only when success is near certain. Its fur emits residual heat and can warp nearby air, deflecting low-mass projectiles and confusing prey. Every fire step leaves a heat-burn memory on the ground. It does not roar—it does not warn. It executes.
Abilities:
Ember Veil (Passive): The heat shimmer from its fur can distort vision and deflect basic projectiles (arrows, needles, etc.).
Paw Flame Control (Active): Can regulate the ignition radius of its steps—burn or suppress at will.
Heat Pulse (Active): Releases a circular burst of superheated air, igniting leaves and stunning nearby foes.
