Origins[]
The Bakeneko is a creature with origins in Japanese mythology, legend and folklore.
Appearance[]
Bakeneko tend to look like humanoid cats, however, there are some differences between them and normal cats or beings. They tend to have a humanoid body shape, grayish-purplish fur all over, silvery-teal, feline eyes, feline half-muzzles for noses/mouths, complete with whiskers and fangs, claws on their human-like hands, cat-like ears, feline legs/paws, and feline tails. However, these tails that they possess fork into two halfway down.
Behavior[]
Bakeneko tend to live either alone, or in family groups, consisting of a male, his mate, and their litter(s). They tend to be wary of strangers, however, if given offerings of fish, milk, or meat, they will easily become friends with the offering-bearer. However, whatever you do, do not invoke the bakeneko's wrath, for they are infamous for holding grudges.
