Shunkan Tora
Challenge Rating 4
Created by: Kage
Description:
The Shunkan Tora is a large, black-furred cat with white stripes. They are one of many hazards that exist in the forests around Jian. Their natural camouflage makes them excellent nocturnal hunters, capable of sneaking up on a wide variety of sleeping prey. They also have the ability to blink, allowing them to sink their teeth into their targets before they even knew what hit them. Their primary weakness is bright lights that hurt their eyes. Even a large campfire can be enough to deter attacks.
