Standing before you is a felar that pushes the average height of his race by 
feet 3 inches. Fur covers every inch of his body and appears to be lush and
thick with his fur being a dark smokey charcoal color. His eyes appear to be
mismatched in color, the left being a bright green in color while the other
is bright yellow. Muscle packs his tiny frame yet doesn't seem to hinder his
movements in any way. Light glints dully off the tips of his deadly claws and
if you look at him in just the right light you can see the brilliant white of
his fangs against the darkness of his fur. A tail stretches out behind him a 
couple feet allowing him better balance than most other beings. As he moves
you notice that every move is precise and done with minimal effort as if he's
conserving his energy for a time when he really needs it. 

Upon another look you see...
