I-It was fast, faster than anything I had ever seen before. It sundered armor and split shields, it's deafening roar sent us reeling in fear... It looked like a monster b-but it wore armor and wielded a blade like a man.

Age

Alignment
Tabaxi tend toward chaotic alignments, as they let impulse and fancy guide their decisions. They are rarely evil, with most of them driven by curiosity rather than greed or other dark impulses.
Bellowing Roar
Your mighty roar affects every enemy within 30 feet of you that can hear your roar and has to make a Wisdom save (DC 10 + Proficiency bonus + Charisma bonus) Failure means that opponent becomes Frightened of you for 1 minute. A frightened creature has disadvantage on ability checks and attack rolls while the source of its fear is within line of sight, and can't willingly move closer to you.
