Imp Cat[edit]
Description[edit]
Imp cats are a 3 feet tall, feline hybrid of the imp and the domestic house cat. They look like cats that have stood on their hind legs and developed longer, more humanoid limbs. Their fur is short or long. Its color can be white, grey or black with brown or cream patterns. On their backs, they sprout two leathery wings, usually black or red. It is said that their eyes bear mystical powers depending on their colors. Because of their size, imp cats are quite fragile and not very strong. However, their natural magic abilities make up for the missing muscle power.
History[edit]
The Imp cats escaped from a demonic realm, but how they came to be is unknown. There are many theories surrounding their creation. But no demonologist can agree upon these assumptions. The imp cats themselves don't really care how they came to be. They just know that in their ancestors had to endure great suffering.
Attitudes and Beliefs[edit]

Imp cats who have a superior talent with magic can be found searching for knowledge and embark long journeys to do so.
