Moggie

Physiology

Furry, fearsome, towering creatures: Moggie are wild, mighty hunters characterized by two forms: their cat form and their combat form. Moggies' true forms are the different felines of the World of Vala. From house cats to tigers, lions, and other large cats. The size of their cat form often represents their size in their combat form. Moggies in their combat forms are large, muscular, bipedal felines. Moggies possess features ranging from humanoid to cat-like. They have long, powerful arms and muscular hindquarters that help them move almost as quickly on two legs as on four. On their hands and feet, they sport two sets of claws and two sets of thumbs. They use these thumbs to maneuver easily through their dense jungle habitats. Their spines' base is a wide, flat tail tapering off into a point about as long as their arms. The fur of the Moggie ranges in color, from a spotted charcoal black to a striped fiery orange hot as the burning sun.

History

Upon watching Vala create the other animals within the world, Zebar became curious. Zebar wanted to create a race that represented his qualities: secrecy, power, rage, anger, independence, selfishness, and the need to rule. With this in mind, he created one of the most powerful races within the World of Vala: The Moggies. Outside of their own population, they are simply known as cats, lions, tigers, and other felines. The Moggies have always existed within the footnotes of history. Ever-present, always watching, changing the tides of history

Society

The official head of state of the Moggie is The Main. The Mane, while the unofficial head-of-state, is no more a "breed" of Moggie than any other is; he is simply unique. Moggie tradition holds that only one Mane may be alive at any one time since the Mane is one entity reborn in different bodies over time. The integrity of this is unknown, but there has been no recorded instance of multiple Manes contending for power. It is widely held that the greatest force among the Moggie are the Clan Mothers. Ultimately, they control both the harvest and the flow of information on the outside world, and thus they are seen as the most influential. Moggies are proud beings mostly because of the constant dotting by their creator.
