A Scaredy-Cat is a small feline creature with large, wide eyes. It eats and emanates fear.

Scaredy-Cats are not particularly smart, and can only speak Feline languages. It starves if it doesn't eat the fear of creatures at least three times per day.

At the end of each of its turns, creatures within 10 meters find the Scaredy-Cat Frightening, and it finds them Frightening as well.

Its unarmed attacks deal 1d6 damage (Muscle included), and on a successful wound the victim's ability to feel fear is devoured: the creature becomes immune to [ Fear ] effects for 1 hour, and the range of the Scaredy-Cat's fear aura increases by 10 meters for 1 round if that creature wasn't already immune to [ Fear ]. This [ Fear ] immunity is bound to the Scaredy-Cat.
