Is it possible to produce a lion "roar!" sound without actually recording it from a real lion roaring?
like... only use the sound editor resources to produce a sound that sounds really a "roar!" sound.

Your voice and any basic sound editor should be enough to produce a lion-like roar sound.
If your human beast roar is too slow/long the slowed down version might sound tired or bored. Keep recording and try to make your roar as quick as possible. Even if it sounds weird, slowed down it might end up being perfect.
I made a lion roar video tutorial for Audacity years ago. It might be helpful, if you are not familiar with sound editor software yet.
I know this is an old exchange but I might add, for anyone reading this, if you are planning on pitch shifting or time stretching, be sure to record at a high sample rate. This will generally allow you to shift or stretch the audio further before it disintegrates into an ugly mess of artifacts!
Since you will be mainly down-pitching things, it might worth exploring from your intentionally high pitched voice. (you might try acting as a girl, for example.)
It is embarrassing, but if you pitch it down enough it will becomes a growl anyway, but might be a new result.
