Talk:Cat lord

As most information about the cat lord comes from Monster Manuals, and the fact that a different cat lord comes into existence when one dies, should we treat it as a person or creature? I personally would say: Let's keep the person box but add categories for both person and creature. Also, the 2nd Edition version from Planescape Monstrous Compendium is described as female. Should we mention that, or ignore it as it does not come from a Realms or Core source (or even throw out all 2nd Edition info for that reason)? Daranios (talk) 08:40, April 23, 2015 (UTC)


 * As they're unique beings, I'd say each is a person with unique powers rather than a creature, which suggests a race. The comics describe the Cat Lord and the kittenlord as werecats, and Epic Level Handbook uses a werecat as a basis, but maybe that shouldn't be taken as a gospel. The ELH presents a fourth Cat Lord for Greyhawk, but as a planar being it's probably applicable.
 * Our Canon policy puts the comics below core and other setting D&D sources, so strangely these two other-worlds Cat Lords may supersede the two actually seen on Toril! But, without dates for the Planescape and Greyhawk versions, and as a position passed from one to the next, it may be the case that these are just two more cat lords in the line.
 * Confusing the matter, however, "A Virtue by Reflection by Scott Ciencin in Realms of Valor has a whole race of cat lords appear in Arabel, with the same shapeshifting powers. They're likely not the deific Cat Lords however, and are maybe natural werecats. This is why I get so confused on the issue. Probably a topic for a separate article. — BadCatMan (talk) 12:41, April 23, 2015 (UTC)
