Name: Sylvine Cat
Habitat: Forests, Meadows, and Riverbanks
Rarity: Uncommon
Threat: Low

Description:
Sylvine Cats are medium-sized feline creatures infused with Nature's Aether, giving them a unique ability to blend seamlessly into their surroundings. Their green fur is thick and fluffy, and they have the ability to fluff it up to resemble long grass or leaves, making them nearly invisible to predators and prey alike. They have large, intelligent eyes that are a deep emerald green, and their pupils can dilate to almost the full size of their irises to enhance their night vision.

Biome Role:
Sylvine Cats play a vital role in forest ecosystems, helping to control populations of small rodents and insects. They are also highly valued by alchemists and herbalists for their ability to find medicinal herbs and plants. In addition to being skilled hunters, they have a magical connection to the earth, which allows them to detect the presence of medicinal plants and herbs for themselves and their own, making them invaluable companions on herb-gathering expeditions.

Diet:
Sylvine Cats are carnivores, and their diet consists mainly of small mammals such as mice and rabbits, as well as insects and occasionally fish.

Aging & Reproduction:
Sylvine Cats reach sexual maturity at around 2 years of age and can live up to 15 years in the wild. Females give birth to litters of 1-5 cubs, which they raise on their own.

Size:
Sylvine Cats are medium-sized felines, with an average length of around 3 feet (including their tail) and a weight of 20-30 pounds.

Abilities and Features:
In addition to their ability to blend seamlessly into their surroundings, Sylvine Cats have powerful hind legs, which allow them to jump great distances and heights. They also have retractable claws that can be used for climbing and hunting.

Cultural Significance (If applicable):
Sylvine Cats have a special place in the culture of alchemists and herbalists, who often keep them as familiars or pets. Some legends even suggest that the cats have magical healing powers, and their fur and other body parts are highly valued as ingredients in certain potions and spells.

To that end the shed fur of the Sylvine seems to rapidly catalyze decomposition and fermentation and increasing the quality of most fertilizers if mixed into them.

Reasons to interact:
Sylvine Cats are not aggressive and are generally shy around humans, but they can be lured with treats and affection. They can make loyal and loving pets if properly cared for and respected.

Recommended Stats:
Generally speaking only those with a high perception and a decent understanding of their environment have a chance at spotting them. Sylvine cats avoid those who actively cause harm to nature.
