Average Intelligence

Thyllian Lynxes have been selectively bred for intelligence and loyalty over the years, and many can learn a handful of tricks and commands. They have a particular fondness for burrowing and digging. They purr when happy, and have a very distinctive yowl.   Larger breeds are used as guard animals, while smaller are house pets used to control vermin populations indoors and mole populations in gardens.
