Núraðas

Núraðas¹ is a general term for several different species of wild cats found in central and northern Ela'k Forest in western Dragonía. They are related to the larger Ölan Panthers found in the southern part of the forest.

Basic Information

Ecology and Habitats

Different species of núraðas prefer different areas of the forest, some spend most of their lives up in the trees, others are found on the forest floor.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Núraðas eat a variety of small rodents (especially Vems), birds and their eggs, amphibians and reptiles.

Additional Information

Domestication

Only the common núraða has been semi-domesticated, as in being allowed to roam towns and demand attention in exchange for keeping homes and granaries free of vermin.

Uses, Products & Exploitation

Wild núraðas are occasionally hunted for their colourful furs.
