A commerce cat. A commerce cat at first glance is like every other cat - lazy, they lie around all day soaking up the sun and making their perch wherever they please. However, upon closer inspection, a commerce cats ears are lined with golden strands of fur that come together at the tips of their ears to form two arrows of gold. Their eyes are always a shade of bright gold and, despite being cats, they seem far more intelligent than others. Commerce cats all have a birthmark on them behind one of their ears that depicts a holy symbol of a god of commerce. Commerce cats are said to be the manifestations of a god of commerce on the material plane and as such only a certain number of them are said to exist at once. Within certain communities, they are worshiped and fawned over as if they were the gods themselves. Merchants, black market dealers and wealthy individuals will pay top dollar to have one by their side, as their ability to attract wealth to their owner is well known and sought after. Similarly, their ability to attract misfortune to those that wrong them is especially dangerous, and it is said that one wrong move and even the greatest commercial companies will fall to ruin. Depending on the nature of the god they come from commerce cats may expect to be played with and entertained regularly by their owner or simply to be fed and taken care of. A commerce cat may expect to be treated like a king of kings or as a friend. They generally have the freedom to choose their owners as the fear of being cursed prevents them from being harmed. While a commerce cat can communicate with all creatures regardless of the language they speak due to their telepathy they almost never do. Instead, they prefer the soft purring, the loud meowing and the spiteful hissing of that are typical of cats.
