Heyyy just finished translating all of this, it's mostly cultural stuff for each tribe cuz i wanted to give em' their own individual spark. I mean they had so much potential but in the series aspects of some cultures were used for comedy relief and i'm starting from there 👍👍

So i'm putting their individual designs and their descriptions or sum.Sorry if i mispelled things, english ain't my first language.

Lagravis Leonard VII inherits the throne upon the death of his father King Leonard VI. Strict, he firmly believes in tradition, rules and can be quite stubborn at times, which causes him to clash with his son's quirky personality.

Trustworthy and a good advisor, he is often approached by other leaders for opinion.

•The lion was the first creature to drink from the chi water, completing its transformation immediately ran to warn the other animals that the water was safe. They were given as a gift their great sense of honor, justice and democracy. Their wise leaders and ability to roar for help make them a trustworthy tribe that others turn to in times of trouble.

•Robust land machinery adaptable to any type of terrain.

• Ruled by a hereditary absolute monarchy. It is the only modern tribe whose population is built entirely of males.

•There is an unspoken code of loyalty to help the Lion Tribe should they roar for help against threats. And the Lion Tribe will roar to defend any tribe against injustice.

•Every dawn, the lions gather in the citadel to roar and prepare for the next day. The roar banishes fatigue and awakens the spirit of the warriors.

•Young lions go through initiation rites to become warriors. They endure fasting, injury, and defeat opponent warriors to show courage and strength. Only a successful check grants them the rank of a warrior.

•In the citadel, statues and emblems of heroes of the past are venerated. The lions honor them with offerings, prayers and roar in their name, believing that their spirits guide the tribe.

• Lions can become blood brothers through a ceremonial cut and a mixture of blood. This unites them as a family and they defend each other with their lives, even over their own relatives.

•Developmental milestones such as the first roar, first kill, and scars symbolize a lion's growth into a strong warrior. These tests and rites make them defenders of the pack.

•Body paint and scarification is used to mark important events in the life of a lion, something that has marked his life as a warrior, friend, partner or family member. They are symbolic witnesses to important intertribal treaties, oaths, and events. Their presence seals the legitimacy and permanence of such agreements and alliances.

•During the long winter nights, the elders gather the cubs together and share stories of legendary heroes, myths, and prophecy. The stories help convey wisdom and unite the tribe through stories of shared glory and struggle.

•When a lion gives birth to its cubs, the whole tribe gathers to welcome the new life. The cubs are marked with paint and given signs of status/responsibility in the tribe.

Grumlo is the chieftain and wise old man of his tribe. He has led for many years and guided with his deep knowledge and experience, he is a strong but patient leader, helping to hold the tribe together in difficult times. The tribe admires Grumlo and respects his judgment in important matters. He serves as a mentor to the younger members, passing down their traditions and skills. Grumlo was not born into leadership, he came from a long line of hunters and gatherers in the tribe, but he did not inherit any special status. He had to earn the respect and trust of the tribe for many years.

• They live in large huts in the treetops, woven with vines and other materials from the jungle. These cabins are made of edible fruits and are constantly discarded.

• Tremendously strong but also incredibly sensitive, empathic and mild-mannered. They can instantly feel the pain or feelings of other creatures.

•Their culture deeply revolves around nature, spirituality and maintaining harmony with the jungle environment. For each harvest, the fruit-bearing tree is thanked, and each hunt is thanked for the prey for lending its meat so that they can live another day.

•Most gorillas braid their long fur, and those with shorter fur use natural vines, flowers and rope. Braiding is an important part of their grooming and cultural practices.

• They practice meditation, spirituality and union with nature. They have a state of "Great Mellow" that they energetically train to achieve, where they feel deep relaxation and unity. This takes place in the Flower Tower.

•As their strength suggests, they can hold their own against enemies, but are distressed by any conflict and damage to the environment. They only fight as an absolute last resort.

•Their lives revolve around the changes of the seasons, the cycles of nature and the maintenance of balance in the jungle ecosystem. They see themselves as servants of the land.

•Family groups and the elderly/experienced are highly respected. Harmony, empathy and sensitivity are the most valued traits.

•They carry out ceremonies to honor their ancient ancestors and heroes. Stories are shared, chants are made, and tokens of respect are left on clan totem poles.

•After violence, illness or anguish, rituals are performed to purify the body, mind and spirit. This includes meditation and herbal baths. •Regular rituals, prayers and performances are given as tribute, thanks and honor to the forest, the land and all aspects of nature that sustain them. Flowers, leaves and natural symbols are incorporated.

•The gorilla tribe believes that when they die, their spirits do not disappear. They merge again with the forest that has nurtured them. Their essence will flow in every tree, leaf and flower. The forests are their eternal home, and even in death they would always remain, scattered throughout the wild places they held dear. No tree was alone, for within its wooden heart will beat the spirits of long-deceased elders.

•For important events in each family, a bead or ornament is added to their braids, events such as: the birth, the death of a loved one, the achievement of the great mellow, etc...

Leader of the Eagles' Ruling Council, Ewald is prone to endless deliberations about everything from battle strategy to what they should eat for lunch. He's always looking for the perfect solution to everything, which prevents him from achieving something solid. The truth is, he loves the debate about the action MUCH more than the action itself. He spends his days in pursuit of knowledge, often with his beak in a book and his mind far from everyday concerns.

•The Governing Council meets regularly to discuss the welfare of the tribe, solve any problems and make decisions collectively. They lead by example and consensus.

• The laws are few and simple, focused on the good of the community, equity and sustainability. Punishments are rare and usually consist of community service.

• The ruler, elected from the Council, helps facilitate discussions but has no special privileges. They can be quickly removed if they abuse their power.

• Everything is shared in the community: food, tools, housing, etc. No one "owns" private property. The goods are distributed according to the needs.

• Deep bonds and loyalty are formed through the interdependent and shared way of life. The community comes before the individual.

•As a tribe of scholars and guardians of history, stories, lessons, myths, and legends are often shared through recitations, plays, songs, and images. Oral history is central to their culture.

•Have few deeply held beliefs or spiritual philosophies. Their rituals and symbols are superficial, focused more on tradition and community bond than deep meaning.

•Their knowledge and wisdom seem trivial or common sense. While they are book smart, they lack deeper insights or new perspectives. Concrete skills and practical knowledge dominate abstract thinking.

• Emotions and relationships seem simple. They are missing complex social hierarchies, deep emotions, psychological depth, or character arcs. Interactions reflect a simplistic "family first" mentality.

• Morality is very simplistic, based on general concepts of "sharing," "fairness," and "harmlessness" rather than dealing with moral ambiguity, nuance, or deep ideas of justice, virtue, or the greater good.

Everyone to your posts, they are attacking the temple of Cavora!... Oh no, it's just Belkar's snoring.

Don't let his large size and hoarse voice confuse you, he is a great warrior but as soon as his companions turn around he is already lying on the meeting table taking his sixth nap of the day. The position of star guide became his by selection of the legendary beast itself, just as it happened with his father and his father's father. Could it be that the stellar family has a special connection with dreams?

• Bears are the strongest tribe physically, with their size they could surpass even the numerous and coordinated tribe of wolves... Luckily for all of them, they are a peaceful tribe and have no bad intentions.

• Robust and heavy land machinery, first tribe to implement piloted mecha.

• Able to fall asleep anywhere and even drive their speedorz in this state, they have an instinctive feeling to maneuver while their conscious system is off. Even when they're asleep, their bodies can still react to sensory input like touch, sound, smell, and balance.

• Due to their ability to fall asleep at the least opportune moments, the bear developed a defense mechanism that keeps it safe while it is within the realm of dreams; while sleeping, they are immune to evils such as poison and controller plant pheromones.

•The tribe believes that dreams are not just a product of the individual unconscious mind, but can be a place where community and shared experiences emerge. Any outsider would think they are lazy, but within their dream world they are quite active; They have collective dreams, which means that they all share the same dream, and within these they can have normal conversations, meetings and discussions.

•A star guide, a highly trained dreamer, can access the dream of an animal outside of his tribe in times of emergency with a ritual.

•They are beekeepers, farmers, collectors and artisans.

Rhigor adopts the title of Highhorn, making him the toughest and strongest of his tribe. Although intelligence is not his best virtue-just like the rest of his tribe-command became his by right of seniority and earning the title after the defeat of the former leader.

• Leader chosen under combat.

•The Rhino tribe lives in the rocky canyon and their dwellings are simple huts made of mud and stone.

•Heavy and robust earthen machinery, perfect for drilling and rock harvesting.

• Their entire culture revolves around the rocks because it is believed that they house the memories of centuries and centuries of ancestors; each rock is a friend, family member or companion, and devotion is shown to them through frequent interactions and greetings. Upon reaching maturity, young rhinos must show their strength in a ceremonial rite that consists of hitting the family pillar with their horn. The fragment that breaks off is considered good luck and is carried as an amulet. It takes the name "crack". The cracks can combine when a rhino finds a mate, thus forming a new family pillar.

•Rhinos are notoriously clumsy, mainly due to their poor eyesight. They are always falling over things, and each other, because they can't see clearly and because their bodies are so big and unwieldy.

•Violence with the intent of malice is not common, and fights are often a sign of joy or a greeting between members of the tribe.

•Because of their low intelligence and great charisma, rhinos are considered the friendliest of the tribes. Just ask any animal in Chima! They will surely tell you that they have a horned colleague.

•Their sheer size and brute strength make them excellent battle partners, always ready to lend a friendly hoof..Just be careful to provoke them, conflict excites them and they can unintentionally cause great disaster.

The wolves were the last tribe to join the council, becoming formal members just as Wakz's rise to power began. Being a tribe always isolated and distrustful and kept their distance from others, Wakz decided to join the guards for the benefit of his people.

She is extremely cunning and isn't afraid to throw overwhelming force at an opponent, fair or not. Not many wolves survive to such a distinguished age, much less being as small as her, Wakz has achieved her position by being more cunning, fiercer and stronger than any of her opponents.

• They do not share their meat with members of other tribes, the hunt is by and for the tribe.

The leaders of the Raven tribe had no established title until Rawsom's arrival, her incredible skill and stealth earning her the respect and loyalty of her tribe and she took the title "Queen of Thieves", ushering in a new order. Ravens are hoarders and live by the belief that "more is better", Rawsom makes this clear under her passion for decoration and great sense of fashion, wearing gold trim and unnecessary accessories...If the queen approves then it has style!

• Leader elected by the people.

• Robust aerial machinery. Simple ground machinery for travel and quick escapes.

•Ancient legends paint the crow as a servant, collector and messenger of the mythical phoenix, it was never satisfied with it's position because the greedy bird always had it's eye on something else; the chi of fire. Its magnificent radiance was impossible to ignore due to its greedy nature, and the first ravens tried to steal from their masters and escape the temple with their treasure.

Clearly they were trapped, and as punishment their wings were taken from them and their heirs so they would never make the same mistake. That legend was lost over time and no raven today seems to remember its true origin, the wings of a raven are considered a myth.

•The Crow Tribe is known primarily as a tribe of unscrupulous thieves and inventors, concerned only with making maximum profit at the expense of others.

• They use the scarification and modification of their bodies using prostheses as a symbol of beauty and status.

•Master thieves, they only want one thing, and that is a good profit. They are not prejudiced about who they steal from, targeting friend and foe alike in their pursuit of financial gain.
