Lycanthrope, Werecat

Werecats are mysterious shapeshifters given to vanity and fickle moods. Though not always evil, werecats are highly mercurial and quick to change sides, making them dangerous allies. They live solitary lives, blending into humanoid society by day and prowling the streets by night as thieves or killers. Werecats love creature comforts, and many werecats are notorious burglars.

Werecats have a long history on stretching back to the time of the Ancients, where many werecats set themselves up as cult leaders and pretty ‘Gods’. Some werecats remember these glory days, and werecat spellcasters are still known to gather cults of human minions.

Other feline lycanthropes look down on the relatively weaker werecats and often kill them on sight. Wealthy werecats sometimes hire adventurers to protect them from weretigers, werelions, and other stronger shapeshifters. Werecats and werewolves despise each other: werewolves see their feline counterparts as preening idiots, while werecats see the wolves as slobbering brutes. Finally, werecats often share their territory with wererats, whom they see as dangerous vermin; a single wererat is rarely
a match for a werecat, but a hungry pack of wererats can reduce one to a pile of bloody bones in a matter of minutes.
