Wolfcat
Probably spawned by Extravaganza, these beings have been roaming the Kingdom since the early centuries of the Thousand Years’ War, as there seem to be no records of their presence earlier, in Empire days. While some believe they came from Frangia or Altomagna, scholars from those lands claim the contrary, so the mystery remains unsolved.

The size of catpards and linxes, wolfcats are felines that have adopted human-like posture, language, and skills, and are also similar in their clothing, craftwork, arts, and the use of manual tools.

When undressed and moving on all fours, these beings, from a distance, look like ordinary felines, but when they assume an upright bearing and civilized manner, they are comparable to human beings in every way. Wolfcats are generally known as skilled swordplayers, vagabonds ever ready for new engagements and quests, musicians, and poets.

Fun Nicknames: Puss in Boots, Catpards, Kittens, PussPuss, Furballs.

Typical Male Names: Beltrame, Fortunate, Rodilard, Rodomount, Chatterbox, Tabarine.

Typical Female Names: Alinora, Cleope, Esmeralda, Miralda, Nives, Scaramuccia, Sutica, Zelda.

Surnames and Other Names: Wolfcats tend to use completely fictitious and high-sounding titles (Captain Matarato, Marquise of Carabas, Prince of Soldania, Knight of the Guardera, etc.), which they give themselves, seemingly unaware that such titles and recognitions should be assigned by sovereigns, or obtained in an official manner.

How Other Races See Them
Wolfcats are considered bizarre and magical beings, but are usually much more welcome than pantegans, fairies, and malebranche. Despite their unusual appearance, their innately curious and positive attitude to life and adventure is strongly reminiscent of the braggarts and daredevils so common in the cities and villages of the Kingdom. Famous for their pranks, jokes, boastfulness, and stunts, wolf-cats are also proverbial for their sense of honor, fencing mastery, cunning, and poetic skill.
