Deep within the mountains, where the frigid cold wind chills every living creature to their very bones, live a feline community known as the Fjell'byr, who call themselves the Fjell...
BASIC LORE/SPECIES INFO
The Fjell are a unique feline hybrid mix of the short/longhair feral cat, and lynxes. They live within the mountainous range above the Clans of the Lake, their incredibly thick pelts allowing them to thrive in such a cold environment. Due to how long and thick their pelts can grow, Fjell cannot survive the Greenleaf of the Clans - they are in danger of heat stroke.
IMPORTANT ANATOMY NOTES
OVERALL APPEARANCE:
1. The fjell display a range of phenotypes in overall appearance, from pure shorthair feral cat (top left image), to a visual mix of a cat and lynx (top right image). They can display a mix and variety of trait combinations appearing above: for example, they could have the build of a feral cat, but the large hybrid head shape, muzzle, and ear length of the hybrid. Another example is having the large paws and long legs, but a feral cat face shape, muzzle size, and ear shape. The range of combinations / visual appearance between the left and right images is essentially limitless.
2. They are on average larger than the feral cat: at maximum height, they stand at 16 inches tall at the shoulder, and with the purchase of oversized, they can be at maximum 17 inches tall at the shoulder.
3. Their legs are much longer, more lean, and less rounded than feral cats. They possess larger claws as well.
4. Their paws are much larger, flatter, and less rounded than feral cats, to allow them ease with climbing such steep, rocky, uneven terrain.
5. A feral cat's spine slopes upwards, in contrats to the fjell, whose spine actually dips ever so slightly.
6. The feral cat's torso is much longer than the hybrid - a fjell will have a stockier, more "rectangular-shaped" torso, comparably shorter in overall length.
7. Their tails are much shorter than a feral cat's - they tend to on average be half the length as a feral cat's tail.
FUR LENGTH:
1. The fjell can range from shorter fur like the image on the left, due to having a different, thicker fur texture that is noticeable in touch, or can possess fur as long as the bottom right image. It's more common to possess long fur than short.
2. The fjell are the only cats who can slightly break the "hair" tuft length rule only - eyes may be partially hidden / covered, but please note: the eyes cannot ever be completely obscured/hidden. You could consider the bottom right image as an example of this maximum "hair" tuft length, with consideration to style flexibility.
FACE TRAITS:
1. The fjell possess larger, longer muzzles than feral cats.
2. Their ears are larger, and much more pointed than feral cats. Feral cats have more rounded ears in shape.
3. Their pupils are naturally round and large, but can constrict like a feral cat's into slits.
4. The face shape is far more angular, and overall larger, then the feral cat's.
