Like a normal lynx, or it can sound different if they use telepathy to communicate with others

Not aggressive (unless threatened)

Like a normal lynx, and breeding months depend on the region.

Nelteba Mountains

Mountains during spring, Dakar during winter

Usually alone, but may hunt in packs during spring or in duos during mating season

They eat everything, from smaller mammals to berries.

Similar to the Ue in that they are both supremely intelligent and may consciously utilize magic

Like a normal lynx, and breeding months depend on the region.
