<Arcanaloth>[edit]
Quapoth growled at the thought of working with him. How could a arcanaloth work with a tabaxi, there mortal enemies? He had no choice but he had a question, "What's the payout?".
Physical Description[edit]
===History===These humanoid foxes have quite the history, including the Thousand Year War with the tabaxis where the ruler of the tabaxis of the time, Sahkle, invaded the home of the Arcanaloths with spies. The tabaxis, however, got the wrong imformation. They thought the Arcanaloths were going to wage war on them, when in truth the Arcanaloths were scared the tabaxis were going to wage war on them.
===Society===Arcanaloth are separate at best and constantly fighting at worst, due to the fact that the spies (as stated above) were Arcanaloths. They are a rare occurrence where their parents include a tabaxi and a werewolf. They refuse to even honor tabaxis after the war as stated above.
