[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 7164580, member: 57383"] I'd better check for other holdovers from our last lycanthrope conversion. Updating [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?p=7040678#post7040678"][B]Meeka Working Draft[/B][/URL]. Oh, and I also realized the "wereleopard" in the In Ravenloft entry should have been a "werepanther" so duly amended it. That suggests that whenever a house cat survives injury from a lycanthrope it becomes a meeka, while I get the impression it's a rare fluke event. Also, it doesn't restrict it to any particular kind of lycanthrope so you'd be getting Meeka created when cats get bitten by wererats, wereboars, weresharks and so on. That doesn't seem right. How about this: A meeka is an extremely rare type of predatory shapechanger. They are solitary creatures who are always female. In its natural form of a house cat she hunts rodents and other tiny vertebrates, but every month or so she takes the form of a female human to hunt humanoid prey. A meeka is created when an ordinary cat is critically wounded by the bite of a feline lycanthrope and simultaneously exposed to fluke magical forces. The details of what magical forces are required may be unique to each meeka, but so far no magician or sage has bothered researching the subject. Meeka appear to be incapable of producing more of their kind. Oh, and I guess we need a description: [I]An exotically beautiful woman who moves with alluring grace. She has short-cropped black hair, dark skin and intense green eyes[/I]. [/QUOTE]
