Description
A Gremilkin is an extra-large cat found in and around temples and churches, kept mostly to hunt mice and other vermin. Many times the priests, sisters, or Clerics will give the cat an extra treat so it tends to be fatter than other cats and not as eager to hunt rodents.
A temple cat can leap straight up about 6 feet to be able to get to a higher point, where it can watch the area and then pounce on its prey or leap on unsuspecting temple attendants. A temple cat will not willingly enter combat with anything larger than a rabbit unless its young are threatened. If attacked, a gremilkin will try to scratch or claw the attacker's legs, bite, and then run away.
