Kill Kittens Species in Odyssey Earth | World Anvil

Kill Kittens

Kill Kittens are a fascinating and sinister species. These creatures, while adorable and innocent in the appearance of an ordinary kitten, use their cuteness as a camouflage to take down larger humanoid prey.

Basic Information

Ecology and Habitats


Kill Kittens can be found across the continent in the warmer, more mid-continental and southern continental areas. Kill Kittens lurk in wooded locales near paths that humanoid creatures are likely to traffic. The higher the traffic of humans or humanoids, the greater the chance of kill kittens finding it an excellent hunting spot.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Kill Kittens are true carnivores, just as any other cat. They do seem to have a strong preference for the flesh of humanoid creatures, making them particularly dangerous to humans and other humanoid species though the reasoning behind such is still a mystery. Kill Kittens are capable of gorging themselves when they successfully make a kill, allowing them to go for extended periods without needing to hunt. This behavior might explain their ability to patiently wait for the right moment to strike.
  When kill kittens strike, they do so as a group. Their claws are poisonous - exuding a potent paralytic that leaves their prey aware but unable to move or react. The kittens then pull their prey from the roads and into their dens for consumption. They do gorge themselves and therefore sleep for long periods after a large enough meal.

Behaviour

Kill Kittens closely resemble typical domestic kittens in terms of their physical appearance. They have fluffy fur, large, round eyes, and playful behaviors that mimic the antics of real kittens. This disguise is used to lull potential prey, especially humanoids, into a false sense of security.   Kill Kittens are bait and ambush predators. They are not solitary hunters but prefer to operate in groups. One Kill Kitten will act as a decoy, making itself conspicuous to attract attention while the others remain hidden. This diversionary tactic is particularly effective, as unsuspecting creatures become entranced by the cute and playful antics of the decoy, completely unaware of the hidden danger. Kill Kittens exhibit a certain level of sapience, although they are not highly intelligent. Their minds are primarily driven by cruelty and a preference for causing harm. They derive pleasure from hunting and tormenting their victims. This malevolent nature sets them apart from ordinary animals.
