Children of Bast
The Children of Bast's natural forms were that of large, powerful black panthers. In panther form they behaved much like the predatory creatures that they resembled, and only in human form could they think and behave logically and rationally. Via the power of the Eye of Bast, the Children learned to transform into human form. They established a kingdom and an ornate city called Bastet. Like many cats, the Children of Bast avoid large bodies of water. The true origins of the Children of Bast are unknown.
