Feline
- Suborder Feliformia
- Domestic cats (Felis catus)
- Big cats (Panthera sp.)
- Mongooses (Herpestidae sp.)
The Feline are an Ancient race in the world of Arknights.
Description[edit]
Felines have pointed, triangular ears and long tails, and a few of them have rounded or folded ears and short tails. The Felines' keen sense earns them their reputation as stealthy prowlers or flexible individuals. Some of them even possess light-sensitive pupils in which their eyes will form “slit pupils” in areas with bright light.[1]
Along with the Perros and Liberi, Felines are the predominant Terran race who can be found in almost all Terran nations thanks to their strong adaptation to their surroundings. As a matter of fact, there goes a popular Gaulish proverb regarding the Felines: Où que tu ailles, un Félin suit (Wherever you go, a Feline follows). They have varieties of ethnic groups, and the most predominant Feline subgroup is perhaps the Aslans of Sargon and Victoria. Currently, Victoria houses most of the Feline population, and many of them are descendants of both the loyalists following the Aslan house back in Sargon during the ninth Terran century and the native Taran inhabitants following the two Draco houses. Hence, it has been a common case for a Victorian Feline having a distant relative back in Sargon.[1]
Despite the varieties among the Felines, only the Aslans stand out as an independent Feline subgroup since the Aslanian Conquest. As a matter of fact, both races are separated politically despite sharing similar biology.[1]

Trivia[edit]
- Initially the Feline race is believed to be solely based on non-lion felids, but this is no longer the case with the introduction of Folinic who is based on mongooses.
- In spite of being a feliform like mongooses, hyenas are represented as a separated race (Reproba) instead of being a member of Feline.
- Out of all races, the Feline race has the most characters, both Operator and NPC, classified as such, tied with the Liberi and Sarkaz.
