Lions

Lions would spawn a 16% chance in the Savannah and will hunt down anything (including you so

be careful!!) They will take down 8 damage every half second and have 30 health.

    Lions would be pretty cool, they should probably be neutral toward the player during the day though, and hostile at night, like spiders. Pretty sure irl lions prefer to hunt at night anyway, so it'd make sense.

      They could be strong enough to break leads  as soon as they start walking away from them.

    If they can be tamed, they would need to be VERY difficult to tame. But I love the idea. They'd look amazing in Minecraft and would be a great rival to the wolf.

    Lions can trust the player if given meat/fish/rotten flesh, and they will attack if you attack other lion.

    I think that they should add lions because well and lionesses because WE NEED MORE AN8MALS IN THE SAVANAH and you could ride them and it would be adorable and you could make a small zoo!

    I would like to have lions as a neutral mob. It rarely attacks without reason. At least towards the player. They do hunt everything from horses to pigs. They are more smart about attacking anything that could be a theat. There would be lionesses, lions, and of course cubs. The males sleep alot and often get into fights with other male lions to defend their territory

    There would be lions with dark manes and Tanner skin that are the most agresive however. They would go out of their way to attack players, bears, mobs, etc. these lions fight with lighter mane lions to gain control of more territory. ( whether you
    intervene is up to you.)

    On to the taming part: cubs can be tamed with meat of any sort and once grown act similar to dogs and attack your enemies. The Minecraft team can decide if they can be rideable. (I'm kinda found of the idea myself.)

    Lions would spawn in the Savannah in groups of 5-7 with only 1-2 male lions and the rest being female or cubs. Dark mane lions spawn rarely around prides and attempt to kill the dominant males of the pride to take it for themselves

    (Plz consider this)

    They should be a neutral mob. They spawn in groups of 5 to 6 (perhaps only one with a mane). They'll attack you if you either attack them or a member of the pride. And they can attack livestock. So make sure to fence them in in the savanah.

    I don't think they should be 100% hostile but yes adding lions is a must for one of the new animals.

    I think they should hunt animals because the only real rival for food is wolves (sort of). We don't really have any other competition to find food or a source of danger for our farms. It would make the game a bit more difficult, having to properly secure your farm with a predator about. But I think if they did hunt animals they shouldn't leave behind any drops. They should also have a 2 block jump height and as for a it being slain, maybe don't give a drop but a status affect, called "King of the Wilds" where you intimidate hostile mobs and they flee for a certain duration.

    Lions should honestly attack creepers, and the creepers should run away from them instead of exploding- for much the same reason that creepers run away from ocelots and cats of course.  I don't know about many people here, but to me, this would be straight up fun to watch.

    I think lions should be faster than you sprinting. But I don’t think they should be hostile. In real life lions are not hostile, unless you bother them. They just want to sleep, so if you get near or hit it, it will go for you. If you do add lions in ( please please do) please make them neutral.
    They could also drop leather.

    I think they should be avoidable, roaring when you are within a 25 block radius

    Don't forget that it's in Mojangs intention is not to make natural mobs hostile, as a reason why Sharks aren't added, sadly.

    I think lions should also be a bit faster than the player.

    Great idea but what if lions had three stages cub, teen, and female. And when they become teens the males would be kicked out.

    You should be able to kidnap a cub and raise it to be tame
