Mercurian Cat
ShadowWalker described a dream to me in which she pictured a Mercurial Cat at a dwarven, brutish, translucent thing with vacant eyes, a glass (silicon-based?) tale that rattles when it shakes before pouncing, and an eerie, thin, bird-like cry: "maaaah? mommy, meeeeeeee...." They are strange and solitary creatures, rarely seen, and Mercurians, human colonists, and Dreamers consider it unlucky to see such a cat, believing that it chooses a victim when seen, stalking for months or years unseen in the shadows where it cries and rattles ominously, before pouncing at last, stealing its victim's heart....
As rare as they are to see on Mercury, it is rarer still to see them elsewhere, even the Dreamlands. Dreamlands cat legend suggests that in the Dreamlands, Mercurial cats look almost indistinguishable from Earthly cats, as they have the power in Dream to disguise themselves as ordinary cats almost perfectly, save for their unblinking, wide, vacant, staring eyes and strange, slow, silent movement, as if walking in a daze or sleepwalking... it is in such a disguise that Mercurial cats can pursue their victims unseen even into Dream, until ready to strike; ordinary Dreamlands cats and humans who are familiar with normal cat behavior are said to be able to easily recognize these imposters, but those humans who do not know cats well may not recognize the strangeness of these cats until it is too late.... In variations on this legend, Mercurial cats are said to have the power to possess the bodies of Earthly cats in Dream, or to reanimate the bodies of dead cats, becoming undead cats of strange and unnatural habits and sinister magical powers.
