Maalum can be an adult here, but he's still as cute as he was as a cub. Since he's just half lion, he doesn't have a mane.
I still don't have any story focused on Maalum as an adult hybrid, but I already have two stories that you can read. Maalum's backstory tells you about his tough life as he tries to find his place in the circle of life since the day he was born. You can read it here: https://inkbunny.net/s/2196605 Unending Love is a series created by me and a friend. Maalum is a young adult there and the series is very complex with a lot of sensitive content. If you think you can handle it, go to my pools and check out the series trailer before starting to read the episodes.
