Catfolk are a humanoid creature, known for their agility and cunning nature. They are often found in mystical forests and hidden cities, where their feline attributes allow them to move with ease through the trees and shadows. Their fur ranges from sleek and shiny to thick and shaggy, with an array of colors and patterns that are unique to each individual. Some are even said to possess mystical powers, able to manipulate the elements or communicate with the spirits of the wild.
Catfolk are fiercely independent and prideful, valuing their freedom above all else. They are skilled hunters and warriors, using their sharp claws and teeth to defend themselves and their allies. Their keen senses and instincts make them exceptional trackers and scouts, able to detect even the slightest movement or sound. However, their pride can sometimes lead them to be stubborn and reckless, causing them to take risks that others may find too dangerous.
Catfolk have adapted to survive in the harsh conditions that now exist. They have learned to scavenge and hunt in order to find food and resources, and have become skilled at avoiding the dangers that lurk in the ruins of civilization. Their agility and quick reflexes make them excellent survivors, able to escape danger and avoid detection when needed. But even in these dark times, their pride and independence remain unbroken, and they continue to cherish their freedom and wild nature.
