Southern Felyne

Southern Felyne (Anthroailurus australis; Ailyr Greek: נוֹשיִוֹ אַיליָר, Noshio Ailyr), olive felyne, olivine felyne, olivine catfolk, olive ailyr, and Eastern Felyne are some of the mythical creatures introduced in the Earth Responsibly universe.

Etymology

Felyne is named after this cat from the Monster Hunter series, like Palicos or Prowlers. However, it is not related to this cat and was accidentally named by the Persian Emperor to find Jewish people who first encountered this sapient cat. Ailur, or Ailyr, comes from Ailurus (for red pandas) and is adopted from the ancient Greek word αἴλουρος (ailouros), meaning "cat".

Physical Appearance

The fur of Southern Felyne, which resembles African wildcats, is a light sandy gray, sometimes with a pale yellow or reddish hue, but almost whitish on the belly and on the throat. The stripes were few, and small numbers are identified as like humans' fingerprints for each, depending on the size of the patterns and hue. Southern Felynes are bulkier than Northern Felynes and much taller. Males have light sandy olive gray fur, while females have pale sandy olive gray fur.

Abilities

Felynes are experts in the kitchen, can whistle, and can even employ a variety of skills and assaults to assume the role of princess or survivor in their own journeys. Still, when they are by themselves, bleeding results from unleashing claws.

Due to their pagan religion and being primitive, felynes employ a variety of pre-colonial weapons, including knives, bombs, ice picks, karambits, bone sickles, crossbows with fishtooth bolts, and even certain magical abilities.

Ecology

Felynes are quite low in the food chain, though they feed on just about anything. Felynes feed on nuts, insects, rats, fish, and many different human dishes across the world in four realms. If the battle starts looking bad, they'll dig a hole and travel somewhere safe and back to their home without noticing yet. Commonly, they are seen working in all sorts of human establishments or settlements to find a job.

Behavior

Each Felyne is unique in its own way. Depending on their standing and the influence of their family, including karma, they can be either passive or aggressive. But in the event of an attack, they will use whatever is in their hands to launch an assault, even running at an adversary while shielded by a bomb. But while the other cat boasts about their own qualities, this one strikes a balance between their expertise and savoir-faire.

If a relative is attacked, Felynes will attack the enemy. Everyone in the vicinity, even the Felynes, will join the assault.

Distribution and Habitat

Southern Catfolk was native worldwide; however, this animal originated from southern portions of Africa, as well as southern Europe and South Asia as native species. They live mostly in hot temperatures, and their fur is perfect for camouflage.

Lore

Bereshit 300,000–70,000 BCE

The Terran Deities were responsible for the creation of felynes, which evolved from wildcats from North Africa to Cyprus in order to create a numerous, hardy, and docile workforce. Humans were the result of forced evolution.

The felynes, however, were shaped to meet the precise needs of their Terran god masters. Humanity and other races finally rose against the "heavenly beings" after a protracted period of forced servitude, and a ten-year battle started. Only the events of the Pleistocene War, which pushed all species to the brink of extinction, brought an end to this battle. The Terran Deities did not fare as well, with the exception of a handful of them, whereas the population of humans assured the species could survive the calamity. The felynes fled and established their own culture.

The southernmost felyne activity site in Cyprus, Aetokremnos, indicates that hunter-gatherers first inhabited the island around 10,000 BC. Village settlements were first established there around 8200 BC. The only huge natural creatures of the island, the 75-cm-high Cyprus dwarf hippopotamus and the 1-meter-tall Cyprus dwarf elephant, became extinct around the time of the first human contact with felynes.

Felynes have records for this history through evolution via human evolution; felynes are descendants of the domesticated cat or African wildcat. Way back in the 2540s, humans claimed that the Reinachos were surely to be annexed to this exoplanet.

Northern Ailyr/Felyne is one of the fairytale characters in Earth Responsibly named Puss. Their own language was a variety of Greek with Hebrew script, and they are descendants of this Hellenic language called Ailyr or Felyne Greek, which was spoken by Greek people in ancient times via the Silk Road.
