Oromsxa

The oromsxa are felines that originated in the Sigdularra Mountains. These cats seem similar to jaguars, though they are most commonly colored like black panthers. Their bodies are covered in blackish-blue fur, but with spots similar to the jaguar’s in a truer black. These animals are often bred and trained as companion animals to the female dwarven soldiers.

The oromsxa are crepuscular (most active at dawn and dusk). This turned out to be a blessing to their trainers, as they are far easier to train than the nocturnal cats of the same region. While these animals are incredibly difficult to train when caught in the wild, they are far easier to train when bred by the dwarves and handled throughout their lives.

The oromsxa average between 125-150lbs, are incredibly fast, and have a bite that can savage most adults. Their growl/roar can terrify the slaves. They are natural predators, and there is something instinctively frightening about the way they watch people. These companion animals are a true mix of power and fear, but still trainable.
