Coran had wounded the cougar, but not without consequence. Ardyn had a chance to regroup and dive backin as the cat swiped for his brother and nailed him. The large black heir barreled into the cat like a fireball a heartbeat later, knocking it onto the injured leg and then to the ground as the leg buckled.
Ardyn’s jaws dove, parting and snapping shut on the cat’s wrist, wrenching and ripping his head from side to side until it was jerked from his grip as the cat scrambled back. He gave it no quarter, however. It had struck his brother and unleashed an unyielding fury that coursed like ice through his veins.
He made no snarls or snaps as he launched into the cat’s side again, forelimbs clamping around it’s shoulders, claws sinking in as his canines fell again, this time into the cat’s neck as Loshir slapped into the cat;s face with a full set of claws.
He kept his grip this time, canines hilted into the throat of the feline, leaving room for Coran to add his weight to keep the cat down as it struggled.

Ardyn at first glance is as black as can be imagined with a raven sheen.
Closer inspection proves that he shimmers in fire tones in every hair on his hide right down to his lashes.
More obviously, he glows like a bed of coals and flames with every movement and brush of fur. His tail is usually wagging, so blazes like a torch.
His adult teeth are in and his saber canines have grown to their full length (see profile). His mane and tail hair have grown to full length, as well as being lightweight and easily buffeted by breezes.
A look at his front paws will give the impression of hands, with his dew claw dropped low and lengthened into a functioning thumb, and his toes elongated into fingers. He has retractable, solid black cat-like claws on every paw.
Ardyn has developed a glowing mast of intricate markings in fire and ice colors over his face, symmetrical over the last seasons of Year 17 (see profile for details). During hunts or raids/sieges, he will smudge them out with black soot to cover the glow, otherwise, they are bright enough to note at first direct glance at his face. Not all his artwork currently portrays the mask markings.
He is also often bedecked in beads, small bells, feathers in blues, ribbons and braids thanks to the Ooze Event of Halloween 2021, and the Coathanger item that he got. The accessories generally are seen most in his mane and tail hair. He removes the brighter items and bells for hunts or battle.
