Editing Felinid


[[File:A_fe0bacc1.jpg|250px|thumb|right|What they probably would look like...]]
Felinids are a strain of [[Abhuman]] that reside on a very pimpish name for a Planet, [[Carlos_McConnell|'''Carlos McConnell''']]. They go by the scientific name ''Homo sapien hirsutus''.

Thus ends the entirety of the canonical information on the Felinids. I wish I was kidding.

Judging by their name they might as well be Imperial Catgirls, if not full-on [[furries]] (hirsutus = hairy), although the idea on why Humanity started growing feline like traits is beyond the realms of contemporary science. Since almost nothing is known of them, nor their planet, the flood gates were opened for /tg/ to imagine up their relationship with the Imperium; as something only the [[Inquisition|Guys with fancy hats]] [[PROMOTIONS|would have the permission of]] [[/d/|"Studying" them.]] Although it would be quite the hilarity to vision a Space Wolf Wulfen chasing down a Felinid.

Speaking of Space Wolves, they may give an explanation as to why Felinids (and all abhumans in general) potentially exist. In Space Wolves fluff, there is a saying that there are no wolves on Fenris. Not to mention that its implied that Fenrisian Wolves are former humans. And if we take into account of the tech of the Dark Age, its quite possible that Felinids (and abhumans) are simply the descendants of human colonists who added and modified their genes to survive on the planets they lived on.

== What their role is in the Imperium ==
Although almost nothing is know about the Felinids, we can speculate that they might be used as road cleaners or construction workers or anything that has to do with Civilian work, since they are never mentioned to be part of the military. Furthermore due to their location on one planet, they might also be used as exotic dancers or sex slaves by your average Imperial Joe. '''''"IF"''''' they were in the Imperial Guard, then they could either be used as scouts, thieves or assassins, but this is mainly a stereotype of Cat-people so it might not be true.

==Their Biology ==
[[Image:Furry chart.jpg|thumb|right|The options]]
There are two possibility for Felinid biology, and it depends on their origin. First as mentioned above they could be the descendants of human colonists who altered there DNA to survive on their planet. In this case we should expect more of an Imperial analogue to Cat-Folk, we expect the Felinids to have a small and slender body posture. Furthermore, like all felines, they should have incredible flexibility and agility, their strength should be slightly weaker to a baseline human (If they are based on a small cat of course) but they also could be much faster. Their scientific name, ''hirsutus'', which means "Hairy" in Latin, could also suggest that they are [[Furries]], although how hairy/furry their body could be is up for [[Skub|debate.]] But it must be remembered that even just a little hair would be hairy enough for the Imperium to call them "''hirsutus''" since they just need to be hairy''er'' then normal humans.

The second option is that given our own... fascination with cat girls they could be a case of a high class members of society attempting to create the perfect Waifu, only to find out the Felinids did not like BEING the Waifu and got enough of a population to become an Abhuman race. This case would have the Felinds look more like the 10% on the graph up there rather since there were created with looks in mind, not functionality. in this case they would be much more human looking with only a few cat like physical traits and mannerisms. Some have chosen to imagine them as catgirls with glam-rock hair, which given 40k's origins, is rather likely. But seeing how grimdark this galaxy is, it can always be [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUuvHPr4BGk much worse.]

'''Jaguar Squad (100 pts - Fast Attack):''' 

Jaguars are characterised by black or very dark skin and fur. These abhumans are used as forward vanguards or assassins due to their natural affinity for stealth by the few Guard Regiments that can afford these specialists. They are particularly fond of dipping their Jaguar Claws in venom before deployment - these are extremely large monomolecular clawed gauntlets designed to separate flesh from bone with the ease of snapping one's fingers.
