Cat TTRPG Idea #56

A warning of giants is usually expected; the thud of massive feet stomping over the countryside or ripples in a glass of water. However, one giant creature is known to move silently, its victims only realizing their danger at the moment they are swept up in its paw.

The giant cat stalks the land like a noiseless shadow, although leaving no shadow itself to give away its presence. It takes what it wants to play with or eat without warning and moves on just as quickly.

Those unlucky enough to face it can only hope to react quickly enough when the first attack comes.
