Tuxedo Catfolk
“ Always unlucky is the kleptomaniac race. Not a true Indiana Jones or Lara Croft on steroids, these creatures steal one of the earlier ones, such as the catnip, which is advised in place of your misplaced belongings. ”

The Tuxedo Catfolk (Anthroailurus nigra; Aliyr: םאַבריִ אַיִלוִר "Mabri Ailyr"), also known as Black Felyne, Melynx, Black Catfolk, Magpie Catfolk, or Bicolor Felyne, is the fictional species of sapient cats introduced in Worldcraft.
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".
Similar to human fingerprints, these cats' color patterns were the same as those of tuxedo and bicolor cats, appearing in black and white in any shade and gradient. As animal athletes, male cats are faster than females, and the female was lighter than the male.
The Tuxedo Catfolk is a master thief who steals everything, including catnip, one of humanity's most valuable possessions. They show up in groups and try to steal things when they see a hunter around. After acquiring an object, they flee and burrow underground, never to be seen again.
Excellent night vision, acute hearing, silent stalking, strong leaping and pouncing, climbing, and crawling were all characteristics of the Catfolk; they are strong climbers, they frequently take a nap on rocky ledges or trees. Catfolks, in contrast to many domestic cats, can swim fairly well when needed for hunting near wetlands, crossing streams, escaping danger, and evacuation. But unless they are compelled or motivated by prey, they usually stay away from water.
The Catfolks are masters of culinary arts, whistling, and even taking for the princess's or survivor's assistance in their own quests by using various skills and attacks; however, in their own lives alone, releasing claws causes bleeding. Catfolks use premodern weapons like bone pickaxes, ice picks, karambits, bone sickles, bombs, Molotov cocktails, crossbows with fish's bones as bolts, knives, and even hand cannons.
The United Nations verified that this species is exclusively known to wildlife and race. Additionally, some of these possess both Avian's Vision (previously possessed by Assassin Order and Templar Knights, and later Conservationist Hunters due to Eostre's inheritance of Aurorium Neurotransmitter Technology) and an avian companion, which can be used to scout nearby areas, swoop, and steal items from their owners.
Don't be a fool. As part of the Fifth Forces of Nature from Star Wars' Force, "Feline Tempest" is a new power that the Tuxedo Catfolk introduces during the near-death experience mode. It is independent of the Jedi and Delphian. As long as he stays hidden, this species can steal and kill several enemies at once with their claws; time is slowed after each assassination, enabling the species to target the next adversary. This is accomplished by raising their tail and leaping to recharge by performing stealth steal and taking on assassinations.
Catfolks are quite low in the food chain, though they feed on just about anything. Catfolks 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.
Breeding season:
Nomads: Usually early spring to early autumn
With humanity: random
Pregnancy: Around 55–60 days
Litter size: Usually 1–5 kittens
Kitten development:
Born blind
Eyes open after about 1 weeks
Begin hunting lessons after several months
Young wildcats become independent around 7–10 months old.
The Catfolk live in intricate groups known as communities, colonies, or clowders. Their true behavior consists of grooming friendships, alliances, power demonstrations, territorial patrols, play, mourning dead group members, and reconciling after fights. During mating season, they communicate with their feline counterparts using facial expressions, gestures, meowing, screams, pant-hoots, drumming, growl, hiss, purr, meow, and yowl. Catfolks, like humans and chimpanzees, can express empathy, jealousy, cooperation, aggression, leadership overthrow, and curiosity. Most clans in this species engage in territorial wars with adjacent groups; Catfolks are extremely apprehensive of non-Catfolk foreigners, being territorial, intelligent, and independent, and avoiding humans if possible.
Researchers and caregivers get to know every species of Catfolk race. They may exhibit curiosity, arrogance, affection, playfulness, and human recognition. Renowned scientists who have studied the sapient races of both hominids and sapient felids include Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey. Catfolks are still wild cats, yet, because adults are so powerful, they can suddenly become aggressive, and owning them as pets is dangerous because of their claws and teeth. Mature cats can cause considerable harm to people, despite their seeming gentleness.
Tuxedo Catfolks are thought to be very energetic, curious, and mischievous. These often steal objects from hunters in order to determine the item's value. After being isolated, they will examine the object and determine its value. Catfolks will attack the hunter if another relative is attacked. All the Felynes and others in the area will join the attack.

Felynes cannot be tamed!
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.
