Ringside Feral Cat

Descendants of the Golden Cats

How the golden cat breed came to the Ringside Woods is a tale from the time of legend. In those days, Grizrus,the Lord of Beasts was wounded in a great battle against Yerlitha’s folk and though he trapped her in her lair within the Toxic Basin, he had not the strength to make it back to his home at the Sceaming Peak. A Deadmouth Hag came upon the wounded Lord of Beasts in Ringside Woods and nursed him back to health, guarding him from his enemies as he recovered. As a gift of thanks, the Lord of Beasts left a pair of golden cats for the hag as faithful companions. 
Typically, golden cats have a golden pelt and brilliant green or golden eyes. As the original golden cats of the Ringside Woods intermingled so frequently with the local cats, their purest descendants no longer bear the traditional golden color of their namesakes. These cats (like Misty and Tonqo) still possess the same powers and abilities of a golden cat even though they no longer possess the pure golden color. They tend to be fond of goodly aligned rangers and respectful hunters. 
The feral cats of the Ringside Woods are a unique breed of domestic cat. They are slightly larger, smarter, and more resistant to magical effects than a standard cat as they are all mixed with the enchanted breed of golden cats originally given by the Lord of Beasts.
