Tiny Horns is the 1st stage of Li'l Cow Awakens!.
Head Shaker and Lots O' Lion under a rarity restriction: spammable high-DPS units still win, and Awakened Bahamut must be preserved as the main damage.
- Cameraman and Cyborg are still allowed and still excellent; Chill Cat likewise.
- Hermit Cat from Floor 30 chips the Li'l Lions with three-hit Waves.
Like its slightly stronger counterpart, Manic Lion Cat, Li'l Lion moves relatively fast, attacks fast, and appears in clusters. Its rapid attack speed and the fact that it is accompanied by other Li'l Lions makes it easy for this enemy to tear through your defenses, but it isn't made any harder than the Manic Lion Cat due to dealing single target damage and the availability of spammable rare attackers.
A fast, constantly-spawning peon with low health, low attack and short range — the fastest enemy in Empire of Cats. It mostly just gets in the way: a genuine distraction unit, not a real threat.
HANIWA CAT B Haniwa Cat - Amazing anti-traitless meatshield, albeit a bit slow. Can tank several hits from the lions before dying, which is amazing for holding the front lines. 
SLIME CAT A Slime Cat - Disposable waver with a powerful wave that can deal hefty damage towards stacks of Lions and those running towards the frontline. 
TEACHER BEARCAT A Teacher BearCat - Only accessible after beating a fairly difficult advent stage, BearCat's first form has insane damage against traitless, which is not something you can easily pass up on. Being an amazing anti-traitless attacker that's usable here, he can be an amazing pick if you decide to use him. 
AWAKENED BAHAMUT CAT S Awakened Bahamut - still as powerful and crucial as he is in the manic counterpart to this stage, dealing hefty DPS towards the Lions. 
HERMIT CAT C If the player has already beaten Floor 30 and gotten Hermit Cat, he can become a surprisingly valuable member by doing Wave Attacks that can deal great damage to the Li'l Lion Cats (if all three hits connect) as well as chipping down incoming Li'l Lion Cats with them. ⚙ More counters worked out from the roster, lower confidence than the picks above; kept for reference
