Drackat

Drackat

Some few wizards and animal breeders throughout history have experimented with hybridizing different species. Once, a cat-fancying wizard with a love for wordplay made the ill-advised decision to join those infamous ranks by creating the drackat—a hybrid of housecats and house drakes—reasoning that their shared self-importance makes them preternaturally aligned.
Low-content drackats—those who are mostly housecat—are prized, if challenging, pets. However, high-content generations inherit both the good looks and resolute independence of their draconic progenitor. They refuse to be pets, and are intelligent enough to make their feelings about the insult of that role known. Small populations of feral drackats are present in areas initially populated by escapees, bolstered further through breeding with local housecats and house drakes.
