Lions are a type of built-in enemy creature in ZZT. They move around semi-randomly, with a tendency to seek out the player. They can only do damage on contact, which destroys the lion as well.

The chance of a lion following the player as opposed to moving randomly is ((P1 + 1) * 0.1), where P1 is equal to Intelligence - 1. As such, in the default editor, it's possible to create lions with player-seeking behaviour expressed within between 10% and 90% of movements.
