The Epic Chronicle of Tribal Cats

Deep within the tangled vines and steam of the volcanic rainforest, these untamed Ocelots and Jaguars unleash ferocious attacks and raw predatory instinct.

Untouched by the courtly manners of the Sun Paws or the academic books of the monks, the Primal Jungle Paws live by the raw law of the canopy: eat or be eaten. Their fur bears camouflage rosettes that blend into emerald moss and ancient banyan roots.

Led by Chieftain Jaguar-Claw, this clan believes that civilized chess openings are chains that stifle true feline instinct. They strike directly at the enemy king from move one, sacrificing material without a second thought if it tears open the opponent’s king shelter.

Facing the Jungle Paws feels like stepping into a predator’s den. Every shadow could conceal an attacking bishop, and their knights leap like wild felines dropping from tree branches onto unsuspecting prey.
