D&D General Monster of the Week: Felinus

My take on Whiskers, from Michael Moorcock’s “The Queen of the Swords”:

Monster of the Week: Felinus

A faithful companion with a mind of its own!

The Forgotten Realms calls them Tressyms.

And now you know where Ed Greenwood got his inspiration from. And knowing is half the battle.

I took a look at the 5e version. It’s well-done, but I wanted something that hewed a bit closer to the book, especially the “fighting for the Balance” impressions I get from Whiskers.

Are you serious about it being Ed Greenwood's inspiration for Tressyms? (Did not know that, the Tressyms in the novels I read mostly acted like well what cats would act like if they could fly).

Honestly I don't know what I would do if my cat Buddy could fly.

I was a little surprised that I haven't seen or remember a stat block for them. Having run games for tweens and teens, I set aside a whole session when the PCs go to the "pet store". Winged cats are high on the list.

They appear in some 5e books.
