Hovercat

The hovercat (Pardofelis caerulea) is a small, agile felid endemic to the eastern parts of the Benacian continent. Its agility is well known, and it climbs trees and can even stay underneath branches during extended periods of time. As such, it has become known as the "hovering cat", later "hovercat". In certain conditions the fur appears blue to green. It is the national animal of Goldshire.

In the Shirerithian feudal system, only nobles are allowed to consume the hovercat, leading to a taboo to its consumption in other parts of Shirerithian society. As such, actually eating the cat is rare.

Related to other felids, such as the fishing cat (also in Benacia), lion, tiger, Jingdaoese valleytiger, Bijeko-Lisea-Nas, and the Panthera napoleonis.
