Uncavi

The unca is a large cat found in the hilly woodlands of Far Harad. It is often the only large mammal in its ecosystem. Although somewhat like a leopard in appearance, it is much smaller.

The unca's pelt is patterned with splotches in various shades of brown, giving the predator perfect camouflage amid the plants of the forest. The unca uses its coloring to excellent advantage as it prowls the overgrown jungle floor or hides in low branches in search of prey. The animal life of the wood is typically small and quick, so most of the cat's time is spent chasing through the leaves of the brush. However, the sturdy build of the beast allows it the prospect of turning to larger game when such might be available. This stops short of the deadly petla, but the playful stetan is fair game, and the cat shows no reluctance to prey on Men as well, when they can be taken quickly, and by surprise.
