Homebrew Felyne Species Details
Cat-like humanoids called Lynians that are noted for their white fur. Felynes are quiet and peaceful until angered, in which case they may attack. Capable of speech, they are sometimes found in the employ of human masters.
Felynes perform a small variety of jobs in villages, from shopkeeping to farm maintenance, but most notably they may work under a hunter as Felyne chefs or Felyne comrades. Felyne chefs cook food for their hunters to support them in their adventures by temporarily bestowing them with beneficial status effects, while a Felyne comrade, called a "Palico", assists their hunter on quests by using various skills and attacks.
