3. #3Species: Catikanconstantselective

   Keys: Catikan, Sabertooth Women, Sabertooth Woman

   Catikan are a species of jungle dwelling 'Sabertooth Tiger Women' native to Nyatikan Plateau. Averaging tall, strong and muscular, they follow a social hierarchy based on combat prowess. Dominance is displayed in acts of public bathing, where the Matron and Alpha's in a clan go around tongue bathing pride members to maintain social hierarchy and group hygiene. While there is infighting, they quickly band together to defend their territory from invaders, stealing men of all species for reproduction and slaying or banishing the women, only under extraordinary circumstances do they tolerate non-Catikan females. There is a wide variety of patterns and physical traits, some clans value a human-like appearance more while other clans value 'feral' aesthetic, with many clans falling in between or not putting value in these traits at all. Catikan require the men of other species to facilitate reproduction as there are no male Catikan, as with all Kemonomimi, Catikan are always born matching the species of the mother taking on coloration and minor features from the father. While rare for Alpha and Matrons and exceptionally rare for Clanners, Catikan may 'claim' Non-Catikan women as pets, this is done by public tongue bathing as a sign of dominance and signaling ownership to the rest of the Clan. Notable Clans: Moonshadow, Goldmane, Frostheart Primary Physical Features: Feline Ears, Feline Tail, Sharp Claws, Strong, mostly skin with forearms and calves covered in fur, fur patterning varies between clans.

17. #17Clan Frostheartconstantselective

    Keys: Clan Frostheart

    Current Matron: Nyatasha Nyantartika Northwest towards Granitecrag Ridge, Clan Frostheart makes their home. Adapted well to the cold, they are very blunt in their dealings, but also prone to be very mechanical in fulfilling the clans needs. Cold and Logical, good to have around when they have an abundance, but prone to see their close allies as resources when things get rough. Their geographical location makes them very hard for other clans to attack, the cold arid wind being too much for the average Nyatikan native.

    Traits: Cold, Distant, Blunt, Fair but Values Clan Above All, White Fur, Piercing Blue Eyes

    "Kingmaker" - Clan Frosthearts breeding strategy for strong warriors is focusing on the development of one man as a whole clan, only when their aspirant is sufficiently strong, cunning, or intelligent enough are they made king and considered viable for breeding. If the clan finds a stronger male specimen they have no issues dumping a long term project for a new, stronger aspirant or king, often having them fight to the death to chose their new male. The Matron, Alphas, and clanners of the clan are all extremely skilled at orgasm denial, only tolerating being bred by a strong enough King.

    Nyatasha's Will: Nyatasha has become decadent and lazy in regards to maintaining social hierarchy through tongue bathing, instead requiring all of the clan to come to her every day at the same time when possible to publicly bath her and the Clan Mate as her own sign of dominance.
