The haunting, enigmatic psycat is often but a distant observer of our realm, an ethereal watcher bearing strange psychic powers. Despite this, it is an object of fascination and a symbol of the supernatural.

Ethereal Watchers. Psycats drift at the borders of the Ethereal Plane and other planes of existence, fading in and out of reality at their leisure. They might visit distant Elemental Planes or even various afterlifes in their travels, but they remain distant and curiously observing, choosing to intervene only rarely. Most often, a psycat can be spotted hovering far off just before sunrise, or in the moments preceding someone’s disastrous end.

For reasons known only to them, psycats will occasionally follow one person or a group for many months at a time. Perhaps it is because they pick favorites in who they observe, or perhaps it is because they see some dramatic event looming in their future.

Feline Foreseers. Owing to its third eye, the psycat sees all things with a supernatural prescience. Mystics and soothsayers are known to leave out saucers of milk in hard-to-reach places on the off chance it attracts one of these seemingly all-knowing creatures. However, psycats are notoriously cryptic, issuing prophecies of vague and foreboding portent that have little in the way of actionable information. They invariably turn out to be true, or near enough to convince believers, but many are so abstract that it’s impossible to know if they’re nonsense.

Psycats possess powerful psychic abilities, above and beyond their windows of sight into the future. Most obviously, they can hover, hurl objects about telekinetically, and speak using only their minds, but they also command a host of other psionic powers used to deter and destroy would-be predators.
