In case you just hopped on the MMO bandwagon with the release of Star Wars: The Old Republic, itâs not a massively multiplayer party until the anthropomorphic animals arrive. The original EverQuest had the Vah Shir, World of Warcraft has Worgen and now Pandas, and The Old Republic has the Cathar, a race of intergalactic kitty people.
Itâs difficult to pinpoint exactly where the Cathar first appeared in Star Wars history, mainly because every time I try to search for them, Google is busy looking for âcatharsis.â The most famous gaming Cathar is Juhani from Knights of the Old Republic, a Jedi member of a Cathar sub-species that doesnât look quite as furry as the ones weâll be playing now.
The Cathar are fierce warriors and incredibly loyal, so if youâre going to roleplay them having sex, donât be slutty.
The Cathar are available as a player character race with todayâsgame update 2.1 for The Old Republic, which also adds all sorts of dyes and new customization options. Hooray!
