You are referring to the Lord of Bamboo, who is a naked panda running around with his dong hanging out - like the Lord of the Wild or the Son of the Fallen.

I will add an Axe panda, tho, that's a good suggestion.

Probably would need some axe-wielding troops as they were widely used at the time. And I'd include Blood from the start rather than as an option via 1 hero, for the same reason. But an interesting nation all the same.
PS. One of the pretenders is humanoid per description, but has a non-humanoid racoon sprite.

@hajduk I found the error, it was a bad sprite on one of the heroes. So it might have seemed like it started when you used the Sun Birds in combat, but actually happened when a certain idiot arrived in your capital.

@Hajduk Are you still getting that error? Do you have other mods enabled? Are you sure it's the sun birds and not something else?

When I try to use Sun Birds in combat, it crashes the game to desktop with the error message "sprnbr too high"

pony island 2: panda island?

Great Mod :).

Gotta love factions that have big guys paired with small guys

Thanks for the bug report, Imban.

holy shit a 2-path 60 point pretender chassis with 10 a 10 point newpath cost? You know Frost Father is already considered one of the best pretenders in the game, right?

Gold Mask of the Priests appears to be a shield which nonetheless gives head armor.
