These compact yet graceful cats were once plentiful on the rocky world
of Zik-kit, as the terrain was a perfect place to find prey, bask in the
light of the nearby star, or hide. However, once the planet was
colonized, anyone on the planet was authorized to shoot these cats if
they interfered with the mining work done by the Vrusk. This led to
widescale destruction of the species, and many of the prey were being
killed by the pollution. Lately, though, the species has been under the
watchful eye of the ECGOCVH, a coalition of Vrusk and Human researchers
aiming to conserve wildlife on many planets, and populations are on the
rise. The species has a special bonding pattern that appears to occur
when one of the major races saves the life of one of these cats. A prime
example is the bond between the space cat Cloud's Edge and the explorer
Alistair Ravenshade. They share a telepathic link that allows for
communication, and this means that Cloud's Edge can accompany Ravenshade
on his adventures and be able to contribute to the party's success.
This was evidenced when Cloud's Edge was able to successfully leap onto
the back of a Slither so that Ravenshade and his group could kill it
while it was distracted.</p>Lifespan: about 35 years in the wild, about 45 in captivity, and about 50 with free reign (bonded)
