Written by FirethornDragon

The Hol is a big cat that looks dangerous. Many believe it to be with its sharp teeth and claws. But the Hol is a gentle animal that looks like a predator. Many think that it eats meat because of how it looks. In reality, the Hol only eats fruit, grass and vegetables. Its favourite food is sweet fruits. So, if you ever encounter a Hol, remember that it will not attack you unless you attack it first.
