Some mithra have sharp claws, others a predator sense, but wildcats have both. The wildcat leans into the feral calling, using their claws and flexibility to conquer their foes. They are also gifted with thicker skin and able to withstand harsh blows, sometimes more effectively than others that train their bodies.
The wildcat is an archetype of the black belt class, available only to mithra black belts.
