Crag Cat

Crag Cat

The creature referred to in Northlander lore as the Hunter of Men is a sure-footed predator that can be found anywhere except the deep forest, preferring to patrol ledges and cliffs in the mountains. Its cry resembles a human scream of terror. It often elicits such sounds from its victims, for it prefers human flesh to all other fare.
Crag Cats blend in with their surroundings. During winter, their fur turns white to blend in with the snow. At other times of the year, their fur is grey, enabling them to hide among the rocks more easily.
The Crag Cat knows its territory and often attacks when its prey is asleep, exhausted, or otherwise weakened. Although Crag Cats are typically encountered singly, they can be found in family groups of two parents and 1D4 small noncombatant cubs in the spring, or in hungry packs in severe winter weather.
