The Cathar are cat-like humanoids hailing from the planet of the same name. It features massive insect species and vast trees capable of housing whole Cathar cities and villages. The Cathar themselves are passionate and tempestuous, but loyal.
The Catharese language includes the use of growls, yowls, and other feline-like noises as part of its meaning and emphasis. Consider these kinds of sounds when choosing or creating a Cathar name.
