Katkins are reclusive and keep treetop summer homes, small camauflauged huts of branches and bark high in the threes. In the winter they move to warmer quarters, usually a dwelling made from a hollowed out tree, although some have been known to build cabins. contact with the outside world is normally limited to a select few trraders.

Description (Additional Observations): Katkins are similar in appearance to common house cats, from which they sprang. They are somewhat larger, standing about a meter tall when walking bipedally. They have manipulative forepaws, allowing them to use weapons and tools, although they still possess sharp retractable claws capable of considerable harm. Their fur can be either long or short with a broad range of coloration-white, orange-striped, calico, black, grey, or brown.

Reactions: No known interactions

Behavior: Katkins typically rely on their own natural weapons and small Tech level 2 ranged weapons such as darts, javelines, and msall bows and arrows. If they possess usable artifact weapons as part of their treasure, they will use these as well. However because of their small, light frames, katkins do not carry rifles or other large weapons when on the hunt. Such gear is typically mounted for defense of the lair. Their most common defense tactic is to use sound imitation to lure their prey away from the herd or nest and then attack from the trees. By custom, they prefer to make skills with their own claws, often weakening a victim with missile weapons before closing in for melee.
