Demon Cat
Phantom feline that stalks from shadow, striking before vanishing again
Lore
The Demon Cat stalks through American urban legend as a phantom feline said to haunt the halls of government buildings and forgotten corridors. Most famously tied to tales surrounding Washington D.C., witnesses described a black cat whose glowing eyes and massive form grew larger as it approached. Some believed its appearance foretold tragedy, political upheaval, or death. Guards and night watchmen claimed to hear distant growls and padded footsteps echoing through empty halls long after midnight, as though something ancient still prowled the shadows of the capital.
