Komainu Shedu Cats

Back to ; Shedu Verse | Shedu Information Overview

Their characteristic personality is more like a dog. Loyal and easy trainability to execute a variety of task from carrying a person or heavy loads on their backs to protecting their masters to even attacking an enemy.

They usually form a very strong bond with their humans or even a whole group of humans and often they will suffer if they are separated from them. Bred to be loyal partners in combat situations, they are very good for trail riding, endurance, agility and any other discipline that does not involve crazy speed, such as racing. Shedus make for great refinement in the Komainu. If you breed a light built cat to them, you get a heavy built shedu.

Komainu Shedu cats were the results of a scientific project to "resurrect" the the Saber-tooth Cat as part of a recreational study. It started in one of the private ecological parks at the Chinese border. Though, military forces got into the project and it quickly turned into another secret military program.

It was called, *Beasts of Gevaudan project. Instead of using the typical lionesses or tigresses, they used heavy built Shedu cats as surrogate mothers to bear the genetically altered embryos of the saber-toothed cats. The program was shortly banned after the first results came to life.

As this project was running to its end of the contract with the Elseveriers, they were able to claim their rights to the resulting cubs. So they received cat #0.04.11 and #0.11.11. Soon after they managed to capture cat 0.11.10, but the young male by that time managed to get famous. Local people believed that there was some kind of terrible creature living near their homes, soon after another surprise grabbed villagers.

This terrible breast found his companion in the face of a buddist monk. That huge cat like creature was not aggressive to people and was following "his" monk around like a loyal dog. People called that creature Komainu. Eventually, that name stuck to all the of those huge cats...

These cats can be ridden, but speed is not a strong point in comparison to their Shedu cousins. They are extremely strong animals, capable of carrying the heavy loads through uneven terrain.
