Have they said that's the Cat Lord? That doesn't look like any incarnation of the Cat Lord that I've ever seen.
edit: ninnja'd!

Pretty sure the character to the left is meant to be the Cat Lord - here's Diterlizzi's pic from one of the old PS Monstrous Compendiums, can't recall if it was 1 or 2, or one of the "Planes of" boxed set ones.

But to be clear, NONE of these are "confirmed" – WotC and Diterlizzi had said pretty much nothing about them, except I think Tony confirming on Twitter that the clueless character is indeed the one from the old PS campaign boxed set.

Also, DMG p67 - Adventures gazing at the torus of Sigil. That same page also has a list of the gate-towns of the Outlands (with the callout to the plane's original name "Concordant Opposition" as "simultaneously concordant and in opposition" ;) ).

Hmm. Turning the Cat Lord into the Cat Lady seems unkind given the negative connotation associated with cat ladies. :p

Catch up. Cat Lord was "she" since 1994...

The lord of cats, in her human form, looks like a dark-haired, green eyed human with a lithe form. The one trait that separates her from other humans is her catlike eyes with vertical pupils. In her cat form, she looks loke a black panther with fiery red eyes and fierce strength.

Combat: In human form the cat lord wields a long sword of wounding with which she can attack twice per round. She also employs darts +2 with a +3 bonus to hit because of her Dexterity. She has ten darts at the beginning of any combat.

When in cat form, the cat lord attacks with two huge paws (each does 1d4 points of damage) and a vicious bite (1d10 points of damage). If both front paws hit, the cat may rake with her two back claws for an additional 1d4 points of damage each.

Habitat/Society: The cat lord tends to the affairs of felines both in the Inner and Outer Planes. She arrives whenever humans drive cats out of their natural habitat. She also leads prides of cats out of danger by assuming leadership of the pride. Though this may mean killing the current leader of a pride, the lord sees this as a necessary evil for the good of the group.

Nonfelines see the cat lord in different ways according to their disposition toward cats in general. To cat lovers, the cat lord has a Charisma of 22 and seems attractive. To those indifferent to cats, she has a Charisma of 10 and seems an interesting human. To those who dislike or hate cats, the cat lord has a Charisma of 10 and seems repulsive and intimidating.

Some view the cat lord as evil, others as good. Neither view is true, for the cat lord does not bother with the affairs of men.
 


Edit: I'm also pretty sure there are multiples of the animal lords. I remember reading that at some point.
Multiple animal lords, but only ever one of each "type" - one Cat Lord, one Hawk Lord, one Wolf Lord, etc.

When any particular animal lord dies, a new one of its type rises to replace it. So this Cat Lord isn't the only Cat Lord to ever exist, just the one that does currently. If I recall, it's implied she was relatively new to the position back when she was introduced in 2e.

I want to know if we are going to see new PC species: the glitchlings, the bariaur, planar dragonborn or new genasi subraces, and the return of the planar dragons. How would be a Elysian dragonborn with a duck beak?

I would like the infinite stair reimagined adding elements from the mythology of the backrooms.


I wonder how would be a "D&D creepypasta" story set in the plane of the mirrors.
