Kittenlord The " kittenlord " , also called the " cat child " , was a werecat boy and the heir to the role of catlord in the mid – 14th century DR . History . Sensing his end was near and great change coming to the Realms , the existing Catlord decided to choose an heir , a young werecat boy who would someday become a new catlord . He decided that this new catlord must prowl beside cats in the towns and cities , not in the jungles as he once did . Thus , he chose an apparently respectable human to teach his heir the ways of civilization , and gave the boy over to him . Unfortunately , unfamiliar with the ways of civilization and believing being respectable meant being civilized , the Catlord had chosen the cruel and ruthless Pasha Abon Duum of Manshaka . Duum had wicked intentions for the boy and promised him to Malar the Beastlord once he was through with him . Learning of Duum ' s aims , the Catlord came and rescued the boy , but Malar pounced upon him as he fled . Then the rogue Conner appeared , claiming to be on a mission from a god to take the child to safety . The Catlord agreed , and , fighting Malar , bought time for Conner to carry the child away . Conner and the boy were together for over a year or more . In the Year of the Prince , 1357 DR , the boy and Conner were traveling on a moor a full day ' s march from the nearest settlement when fog swept in and they were beset by dire wolves . As Conner feared the end , a shaft of moonlight transported them to Waterdeep , outside the Selûne ' s Smile tavern , where they were greeted by the proprietress , Luna . Luna put the young kittenlord to bed , but he was still afraid of the wolves , so she told him a bedtime story , the Song of Selûne . Conner , with the boy in arm , stopped by regularly to meet Luna . Later that year , bounty hunters and the mage Chancil Crystalheart used magic and a potion in the drinks to knock out all the tavern ' s patrons and then kidnap the boy . Conner returned too late , hearing of what had happened from Kyriani . Keeping him imprisoned in a huge glass jar , Chancil took the boy to Memnon and planned to give him to his master — Abon Duum . After tracking down Chancil , Conner , aided by Vajra Valmeyjar and Salabak , made a bid to rescue the child , but failed . Taken to Manshaka , the boy fell into Duum ' s clutches once again . He ensorcelled the cat child to transform into a larger and more dangerous cat ( first a lynx and later a tiger ) completely under his control , ordering him to attack Vajra . Even when Vajra later tried again to rescue the boy ( back in kitten form ) , he bit her and returned to Duum ' s side . Finally , Duum and his forces ambushed Vajra and the Catlord , holding the kittenlord hostage to enforce his obedience . Duum now wanted both catlords under his control , rather than to wait for the kittenlord to mature and come into his power . He desired their ability to travel to the Outer Planes . Duum ordered the Catlord to take them to Gladsheim , where he confronted Tyr , god of justice , but was shocked to find Conner instead . In the commotion , Duum ordered the kittenlord to attack Conner , but the kittenlord broke the spell rather than hurt his friend . The real Tyr sent them back to the material plane , and the kittenlord remained safely with the Catlord . Description . In human form , he appeared as a young boy only a few years old , with pale skin , a mane of thick brown hair , pointed ears , and cat - like yellow eyes . In cat form , he appeared as an stripy orange - furred kitten , or sometimes a pure white - furred kitten . Personality . A mischievous child , he had a habit of turning into a kitten to chase mice ; Conner hated it when he returned with mouse on his breath .
