Felines are the most commonly chosen of the companion types, in part because their ability for slash damage in combat is a good complement to archery.
Default description:
The sleek frame of a black-tufted timber ocelot complements the grace and ease of her movements. Standing the size of a young halfling, the timber ocelot is an imposing beast. Neatly cut whiskers twitch with any movement of the nose. Easily keeping the ocelot aware of her surroundings, two beautiful, slitted eyes dart in the direction of anything that moves. Her fur snugs the ocelot's body from head to tail and her padded feet keep secret the deadly claws hidden within.
