Cat lord
| Not to be confused with with Cat lord the title |
"Cat lords"[1][note 1] are a species of anthropomorphic cats who resides in The Mysterious South, namely Abyssinia and Klugetown.
Biology
Cat lords are somewhat tall creatures, taller than ponies by a significant margin, though shorter than Lizardfolk and Parrots. Being anthropomorphic creatures, Cat lords tend to walk on their hind legs, but are capable of running on all fours at fast speeds.[2] Cat lords seem very adaptive, as many have lived the peaceful monarchy of Abyssinia and the dangerous city of Klugetown and made a living in both. Cat lords seem to especially adapt to the roguish lifestyle of petty theft and smuggling that Klugetown expects.[1][2][3]
Behavior
Cats are described as an adventurous and roguish race.[1] However, that mostly seems to apply towards the Klugetown branch of Cat lords. Cat lords from Abyssinia seem to be much more organized and busybody-types. Their kingdom is that of a typical monarchy, where they are ruled over by a single Royal Family. They also have Generals and Ambassadors who presumably help out with militaristic and diplomatic errands. They're fans of dance and acrobatics.[4]
Settlements
History
Origins
Cat lords likely originated somewhere in The Mysterious South past the Badlands. Most of their cities such as Panthera and Tabbytown are located below Bone Dry Desert. Cat lords largely lived under a monarchy rule under the Royal family of Abyssinia.
Conquests of the Storm King
During the Era of Twilight, the Storm King attacked Abyssinia at least twice. The first time, they conquered the land entirely and the second, they destroyed it. Many Cat lords were capable of fleeing the disaster however, with many fleeing to Klugetown and later opened shops and inns. Even prior to his regime, many Cat lords adopted a naturally roguish lifestyle, such as Whiskers who became a sky pirate at some point before the sacking of Panthera.[1]
The Westtails
Using their inherently roguish nature, "Charlie" formed the Westtails, a smuggling ring comprised entirely of Cats.[1]
Crime lords
After the Storm King's downfall, Cat lords were still wary and scared, but less so. Many cats traveled or even moved to Equestria while some stayed in Klugetown. Capper, a Cat lord instrumental in the fall of the Storm King, became somewhat of a hero among Cats afterwards, and has became known as possibly the only kind soul in Klugetown.[1]
Return to grace
At some point after the fall of the Storm King, the Cats began to thrive once again, well enough that the king and queen could visit a party.
Individuals
Behind the scenes
The Cat lords, as humanoid felines, all resemble the Generation 1 My Little Pony villain Catrina.
