Baliyo’s Design Elements

- Night Pride symbol on his shoulder
- Spotted pattern on his legs and body
- Fluffy chest fur visible from front view
- Standing pose showing three-quarter angle

Baliyo shares the Night Pride markings with his sister Rani, making them interesting to draw together as a pair. His mane tuft resembles the style of Kovu but with different coloring.
