Evolution
Line E-16: Feline Line
Shadekit → Ocelune
As it grows, the small, secretive form becomes more arboreal and develops an intricate spotted pattern.
From there, two terminal branches are possible:
- Ocelune → Sabrilodon — big prey and open, cold steppes; body mass increases, and it develops a specialized short pounce and saber-like fangs.
- Ocelune → Rimelynx — deep, powdery snow; the legs lengthen, and the paws widen into natural snowshoes.
