Stalking villages in harsh winter environments, the Yule cat strikes terror into the hearts of those who would skirt their responsibilities near the holiday season. The monster appears to be a typically fluffy cat, except it is roughly the size of a polar bear or even larger. Its yellow eyes glow with fiendish malice, betraying its unnatural origin, and its teeth and claws are capable of ripping through villagers with ease. They are hunters of the indolent Yule cat primarily stalked towns and cold harsh environments, usually as significant holiday events approach. The Yule cat will look for villagers with a specific identifier that indicates they have skirted their duties that year. The common identifier is someone lacking new clothes, as this implies the individual didn't adequately aid the community in preparing clothes for the coming winter.  However, these identifiers can vary depending on the traditions and economic exports of the village. In a town known for crafting and trading jewelry to survive the Yule cat may instead target villagers without any form of newly crafted jewelry on their person. Whatever the indicator the yule cat will ruthlessly hunt and kill those individuals whether man woman or child. Winter stalkers of unknown origin. While Yule cats are fiendish, their origins are not wholly known. Some claim they are the pets of mountain-dwelling hags and giants sent to torment lazy humanoids. While others believe them to be divine punishment resulting from villagers not doing their part to help the community in times of hardship. Regardless of their origin, Yule cats invariably roam wintry environments using feline hunting methods to prey upon their targeted villagers. Despite their large size, Yule cats can easily blend into snowy landscapes even hiding within snow flurries with supernatural ease. Victims will often be within pouncing range before they notice them, even while within the supposed safety of their village.
