Chittawah

Chittawah, or wah for short, are known by many names, but the one they prefer is the Blood Panda. As they wish nothing more than to destroy their enemies and bathe in their blood. Despite never having won a single conflict. Armies of other species are usually lulled into false sense of security or rather just wait for the blood panda's frequent nap to begin in order to continue their conquest.

in truth, the Blood Pandas native home is sparse, freezing, and too high in altitude to ever be desired by other species.

The blood panda is broken by two major tribal factions, east and west. These to very alike people have waged war for as long as recorded time. Mostly because writing anything down takes too much effort, so the stories are told throughout time by word of mouth as best as they can remember on a good day.

Thanks to this practice, the origins of the blood panda have been lost to time. but with no clear lineage, they are often adopted by other species as a kin of their own. Felis call them bear-cats, the Jestoki call them cat-bears, the Shinagy call them fire foxes. Several other species have given them names and claimed them as their own. And many others call them erroneously blush pandas. because what looks like bashful blushing is in truth murderous rage welling inside their little adorable bodies.

In seriousness, what looks like playful or drunken behavior is simply a tact to mislead an opponent into lowering their guard long enough for the trained blood panda warrior to strike.

Blood pandas are also known to employ guerilla tactics by blending into the tree canopy and foliage.
