The snow-lions were a kind of lions. They were legends known by all barbarians of the Hyborian Age.[1]
History
King Gha-Kree of Brutheim, the subterranean city of Beast-Men in the Land of Always-Light, under Aesgaard[1] and Vanaheim[4] had a snow-lion that he used in his bloody games in which human slaves were killed.
Defying Gha-Kree and Zha-Gorr, Conan of Cimmeria was sent to the games. Using a obsidian knife given to him by the Chief Thrall Kiord (who thought to help Conan by giving him a mean to suicide), Conan killed the Snow-Lion, angering the Beast-Men who swarmed him, causing the slaves to rebel and soon oust the Beast-Men from Brutheim.[1]Notes
The Snow Lions were depicted as being prideful creatures.[2]
