The Beastmen or Alyion race are a nearly extinct humanoid race which resided in the Grand Line. Formerly a hunting tribe which inhabited an unnamed island int the Grand Line, they scattered across the World after Nobles and the Government began hunting them and collecting them as slaves because of their superhuman abilities. Based on their lore and culture, they claim to have descended from ancient animal-like beings known to them as Crimson Lions. This and their trademark red hair and eyes, have also earned them to be known as the Crimson Race. It is believed that fewer that no more than one hundred alyions are alive at the time in the world, making them highly coveted amongst nobles and powerful people. There are even some sinister people that remove the thick skin from their bodies for collection.

Appearance
All members of this race, from purebloods to half bloods, have red or pinkish red hair and eyes. They have naturally strong and durable bodies and their skin is said to be as tough as iron. The male height ranges from 6 to 7 feet tall, with females being slightly lower.

Abilities
Similar to Fish-men, the Alyions are born several times stronger than humans, and with heightened senses. Even as children, the alyions are known to be able to carry a whole family of nobles on their back. It is because of their natural abnormal strenght that even without being Devil Fruit users, slave alyions are chained with heavy Sea-stone, so that they are unable to break them or escape.

Their strength and speed is so great, that they are able to jump to extraordinary heights, break metal and kill large animals with a single blow, and because of their speed, cover large gaps almost instantly, all this without proper training. They also possess several "animal-like" capabilities, like heightened vision, hearing, smelling, reflexes, echolocation and a sort of powerful "Battle Cry" or "Roar". Pure Blood Alyions are stronger than the Half Breeds.

A particular characteristic of all Beast-men, is their incredible leg strength, which they are very proud of. They are also born with incredible endurance and stamina. And altough it may vary from each member, they alyions are known to have a very durable, tough skin. They are said to possess a life-span twice that of a human's, but after their segregation, few survive past 70 years because of their lives as slaves. Alyions share a sort of telepathic bond with members of their race, as such, the slave owners do not own more than two at a time.

They developed a unique martial arts which employs powerful strikes and movements and sword and spear techniques.



History
Not much is know about the Beast-men's history. They come from an unnamed island in the Grand Line before they were hunted down by those who discovered their unique nature. Before that, they lived in total isolation from the world. They believe they are descendants of a race known as the Crimson Lions, sentient beasts with iron skin that form part of their culture. Alyions tend to display their full strengths when in groups or "Prides" as they name it. An Alpha may be male or female, and in some cases there may be more than one Alpha. And Alpha Alyion is the leader of a "Pride". Alpha Alyions may be born or made, and are usually the ones who are more individualistic and capable of organizing the rest. Because of this, Alphas are not made slaves, instead they are killed as a non-alpha Alyion.

A common trait among al Alyions is that they seem to cherish gold and silver.
