Description
Astral whifflecats resemble long-bodied cats with ferret-like flexibility—sleek torsos, expressive feline faces, oversized paws, and endlessly curling tails. Their fur is soft and faintly luminous, colored in pale silvers, lavender-grays, or star-speckled black.
Their bodies don’t quite obey gravity. They lounge in midair, sleep curled upside down, and occasionally drift several feet before remembering to land.
Their eyes resemble tiny nebulae—slowly shifting lights suspended in glass.
Lore
The Astral Plane is a realm where thought outweighs matter, and astral whifflecats are creatures that adapted by becoming optional. Scholars believe they evolved from ordinary pets brought into the Astral Plane long ago, reshaped by timelessness and psychic residue.
They feed on curiosity, attention, and scraps of thought rather than food, though they enjoy treats for the experience.
Many gith consider them good-luck omens. Others consider them thieves. Both are correct.
