New Species Sketch

New concept I created during Psyc class today <3

Thinking of something to call them, for now I refer to them as Chimeric Warriors~
Idea evolved from a basic lion sketch.

Some Notes so far:
-Each warrior has 3 tails, one of which ends with a snakes head that is fully functional.
-Always have the dangling ribbons with beads.
-They each have a faceplate that is 100% unique to that individual, no two faceplates are the same.
----Their faceplates carry unique designs. (Similar to Knights with decorated shields)
-The center of the faceplate is see-though on their side, but to us (outside) looks shiny and reflective like a jewel.
-The 3 black 'bars', are holes that allow easier breathing and loud vocals to be heard.
----Lions gatta rawr right? lol
-Commonly have horns, which the snake-head has identical horns.

Possible Ideas:
-Armor~
-Dragon-like scaled underbellies that is hard to pierce.
-Some wariors 'brade' thier tails together to protect the center snake-headed tail. Tail is then used like a battering club.
----Other prefer to leave, as the two side tails can be like protective whips and allowed snake head to attack freely.
