- "I hope I can visit the surface of LV–895. There are six–legged cats! And they change colour when they purr! Truly, God is great."
- ―Corporal Ibrahim Savane rhapsodizing about the Leon-–895 (from Aliens: Fireteam Elite)
The Leon–895 was a species of six–legged cat native to the Outer Rim Territories moon LV-895. The Leon–895 possessed a chameleon–like ability to change color and thus camouflage itself.
History
- "Leons were one of the species Pala Station tested Pathogen on. Mark Prior's pet project. They're native to LV–895, cats with chameleon skin and six legs."
- ―Dr. Timothy Hoenikker profiling the Leon-895 (from Aliens: Fireteam Elite)
In 2202, scientists at the Weyland-Yutani Corporation's Pala Station research outpost on the Outer Rim Territories moon LV-895 experimented with a strange alien pathogen on several Leon–895s, creating a dangerous lifeform in the process. Two broke loose from containment during separate incidents, with researcher Dr. Timothy Hoenikker killing them both. Hoenikker recounted the events to a United States Colonial Marine Corps member after being presented with a severed limb from one of the creatures, which had been found at the clandestine Site Two.
