Grass Cats

A handsome, long-legged hunter of the plains of Calenardhon, the grass cat is now quite rare. Men have killed or domesticated most of its prey and actively hunt the cats for fear of losing sheep, goats, or kine.

A grass cat has a thick, short, buff-colored fur that easily absorbs grass pollen in the summer months, giving it an eerie and unnatural yellow-green coloration. The cat hunts by leaping upon the backs of its prey, digging its long claws into the victim's throat and neck. Even if its victim is not killed by the severing of some vital vein or nerve, it will run itself into a stupor or even to death. There have been cases of grass cats killing Men in this same manner.

When in heat, courting, or fighting, grass cats give off highpitched, raucous shrieks that are terrifying to hear, especially during the long winter nights.
