Homebrew Catfolk Species Details

Humans are constantly evolving and are known to adapt to
all kinds of circumstancs. Although it is a very rare
occurance, some have managed to procreate with Tabaxi.
Their offspring inherit traits from both parents. A Catfolk
gains physical abilities from their catlike parent as well as
the flexibility of a human.

First of Their Kind
The Catfolk are a new breed of creatures, even if their parent races have existed for a long time. But in recent years more and more were seen walking the streets of larger cities and villages.There's the possibility you've encountered one without even noticing, as it is easy for them to disguise as humans if they hide their ears under a hood and their tail in their pants.

More Human than Cat
They've lost most of their tabaxi features and
became more human. Some don't have a single patch of fur
on their body or completly lost their claws.
What still remains are their instincts and natural ability
to move with grace and composure. Most would describe
them as serene and delicate.

Eager to Explore
Being part human and part tabaxi, it's natural for them to
develop a strong wanderlust. The world has a lot to offer
and half-tabaxi would like to see every facet of it. They
value experiences over coin and tend to be more inclined to
take risks.
Depending on the individual, some Catfolk enjoy
learning from books as much as first-hand experiences. It's
hard to guess their motivation as they tend to be as
complex as their human ancestors when it comes to
reasoning.

Loyal Companions
Some Catfolk may be hard to convince, but once
someone earned their trust, they're going to be loyal friends
for life. They prefer travelling with groups of people and
know that strength doesn't lie in numbers, but in unity.
Therefore most try to get along with everyone around
them. Even if they dislike an individual, they would see
them as a rival rather then a enemy.

Names

Catfolk generally have adapted to more urban and human societies, and as such use more human names as opposed to the Tabaxi names.
