Dislikes ----- : Evil, dishonesty, liars, deceivers, Etc. The Jakuri detests killing, but will if it ultimately has to.

Disposition - : This cat's ambition is to find and help a woman in distress. This can be economic distress, or danger. It's soul purpose is the help one woman at a time build a solid foundation of security. It is loving and highly protective of women in general, and cannot stand for abuse. It's loving nature is so honest, it will bond with the woman it chooses to aid, and that bond will not be broken (unless the woman breaks it by her actions). This creature has a forgiving heart, but is highly wary.

If the Jakuri detects more than one woman in distress, it will help as best it may, yet only in the way a trained dog would try and pick up the spirits of its master. The Jakuri can only communicate with one woman at a time, and only when bonded. See: "Special Abilities". If the Jakuri senses more than one woman in distress, it will gather others of its kind to help (10% chance per 24 hours of attracting 1 other Jakuri). In turn, other Jakuri who come will also help in calling for aid, but not before bonding with a woman. Each summoned Jakuri will bond with the one who is in the greatest need).

Likes -------- : Good hearted creatures. The Jakuri loves the creature known to it as the She Child, and will go out of its way, and into great danger, to protect such creatures. In regards to the She Child, the Jakuri does not have to be bonded with them in order to speak to them. This communication will break when the child comes of age. Still, there will always be a close friendship with any She Child the Jakuri comes in contact with.

Battle-Lock: When both front claws strike, it will hold its prey and continue attacking, raking its victim with its back feet on the same turn. Battle-Lock will then occur. See: Battle-Lock.

While attacking in this fashion, this creature will try biting for the neck, attempting to latch grasp the wind pipe of its victim and cut off its air supply. Once a successful bite to the neck occurs, it will bite down hard and not let go, strangling 2-D12 oxygen-points per turn.
