Catfolk
Catfolk are a strange mix of feline and humanoid. Catfolk exemplifies both the best and worst of felines. Curious and brave, prone to exploration but also quite egoistical and quick to anger. Other folks have learned to live carefully next to catfolk and seldom expect kindness without strings attached.
Catfolk often live in loose communities and intermingle freely with other species. Social and suckers for curious trinkets, generous to friends, and vicious to foes. They tend to live life to the fullest, enjoying all life has to offer. A saying goes that only in age does the cat temper and gain wisdom.
