Description
The cathshee, or faerie cat, is a large, greenish-gray creature with large, tufted ears, and wide, golden eyes. Cathshee can weigh as much as 400 lbs. These creatures are clever and independent, but sometimes can be persuaded to become a companion to character, usually one of fey blood or nature types (elves, firbold, forest gnome, druids, ranges, etc.).
Normally, cathshee are solitary creatures, and highly efficient predators. An inborn natural ability enables cathshee to teleport instantly, and without error, up to 30 feet. This ability is used to escape from enemies and to attack prey. They are also naturally somewhat magic-resistant having advantage on spells that target it specifically. They are also immune to being detected or scryed by magical means.
There are many legends about cathshee in elven society. Some claim that cathshee were created by Corellon Larethian to serve as companions to the elves. Others believe that they are reincarnated elves who have been sent back to atone for misdeeds in their previous lives.
Combat: Cathshee are ferocious fighters, and often lie in wait for prey, then use their Misty Step ability to attack with complete surprise, with a chance to knock its target prone.
While normally solitary and relatively unsocial, mated cathshee pairs will fight furiously for each other, and for their offspring if any are threatened. If a cathshee’s mate or litter is threatened, it will go into a frenzy, attacking at +3 to hit and damage.
Habitat/Society: Cathshee are solitary creatures, associating with each other only in spring, during mating, and remaining together in mated pairs through the summer if kittens are born.
For the rest of the year, cathshee tend to keep to themselves, staking out territories as large as several square miles in area, and defending them, even against others of their own kind.
Ecology: Cathshee are highly efficient carnivores, preying on other mammals, primarily rabbits and small rodents. Their natural teleportation abilities help make sure that a cathshee’s prey rarely escapes.
Cathshee sometimes consent to serve as companions (never pets) to individuals who meet their criteria.
