Homebrew Nekomata Species Details

While at first seeming like normal housecats the Nekomata can easily be identified by their two tails. As dangerous as they are cute these ancient cats of folklore are evil spirits of chaos some with the capabilities of creating fire, raising the dead and/or shapeshifting. Some Nekomata are created this way, living in the mountain ranges with their origins not being entirely known while others started as mere housecats whose lives have not ended due to old age but rather transformed as a result of it. No matter the origin, their lives are all typically the same, with a love of travelling for their cats curiosity, a way to bring their chaos into people's lives, to hone their skills as pyromancers, necromancers or tricksters, and to feed a hunger only satiated by humans they stalk, abduct and feast upon.
