Dal'Arasi (Leopard Caste)

Like pieces of living shadow, the black-furred Dal'Arasi are archetypical feline stealth made manifest. They are the woodland spies of the prides, proof that even such a savage race can appreciate the more subtle aspects of war. Even when the island is at relative peace, they enjoy counting coup against their counterparts in other clans.

The Dal'Arasi are also the true hunters of the Arasi, bringing in more than half of the pride's kills each month by themselves. They are constantly aware of the location of any game within their territory, and enjoy investigating any new beast that appears on the shores of their island.
