Leopati

## Species Information

Leopati are Bestianatus, to be specific, bipedal, intelligent felines. They live within the feywild and have a carnivorous diet. They are known to be highly aggressive and typically hunt in packs. They focus more on the usage of raw strength and chi rather than qi. Their lifespan technically is only 200 years, but their aging resets after every life they lose, so if they die of old age, they also lose one of their 9 lives.

Leopatis have an increased and condensed muscle mass, surpassing even Orcs and few even Goliaths in raw strength. They are able to retract and extend their claws at will, and have an incredibly dence bone structure which allows them to take kinetic blows easier, as their tail was made to take that kinetic energy and redirect it, as such, any damage dealt to a Leopati that still has their tail is reduced greatly. Leopatis, depending on the type of feline, also have a paralyzing roar that can paralyze other beings nearby, this is not a mental fortitude thing, but a vibration frequency that affects the muscles. Leopati also have Nictiating Membranes (see-trough eyelids that they can pull over their eyes to run without having their vision impeded by the wind or air pressure. They, as mentioned before, also have a tail, and most also have a large mane/hair. They also have Tapetum Lucida, layers of tissue in the eye of many vertebrates. Lying immediately behind the retina, it is a retroreflector. It reflects visible light back through the retina, increasing the light available to the photoreceptors (in a nutshell, this gives them eyes that glow as well as night vision). They can also dildate their eyes from circular into vertical slits for enhanced vision. They also harbour the unique abilitiy to have an infinite pool of stamina due to their body unique 'hearts' pumping blood in such a mass and speed that their body will never have problems with oxygen nor energy(stamina).

Leopati can also unlock their 'inner beast', in which they supercharge their own Chi, allowing them a number of abilities depending on their species type. And they also have a total of 9 lives, meaning that whenever they suffer a fatal wound, they will immediatly regenerate back into top condition, and gain a coloured mark similar to a scar or tattoo on their body. After they survived a total of 8 lethal wounds with this, the ability will stop working entirely. They are also able to harbor the Elemental properties of Chi the same way Orcs do.
