description
Slobberchops was the pet tressym of the Vanthampur family from Baldur's Gate in the late 15th century DR. The tressym had a mean appearance, with multiple scars and a bobbed tail
Slobberchops had no feeling of loyalty toward the Vanthampurs. It particularly disliked Thurstwell Vanthampur and his imp spies. Such was Slobberchops's contempt for its masters that it eagerly followed and helped any visitor who offered it food, warning them of potential dangers within Vanthampur Villa.
By the Year of Three Ships Sailing, 1492 DR, Slobberchops lived in the villa's kitchen, feeding off rats and scraps. The tressym was depicted in numerous family paintings and was featured in a lifelike statue at the villa's gallery.
A tressym is a mischievous winged cat as big as a house cat, with a wingspan of 3 feet.
Thought to be the results of wizardly experimentation on house cats, tressym are intelligent and have been known to form strong friendships with humanoids, particularly rangers and wizards. Tressym get along well with others of their kind, but they rarely lair or hunt together. They peacefully ignore bats, faerie dragons, and the like, but they hate stirges and evil flying monsters such as manticores. They also enjoy teasing dogs.
Tressym feed on small rodents, birds, and insects, stalking and pouncing on prey much as normal cats do, but with the added advantage of flight. Tressym don't, however, attack nestlings or despoil eggs.
Tressym mate with others of their kind, but they don't mate for life. A tressym can also mate with a normal cat, though only one out of every ten of their offspring will be a tressym; the others will be normal cats.
Tressym have good memories, particularly when it comes to danger. For example, a tressym that sees a human use a wand of lightning bolts remembers the danger of "sticks of wood held by humans" for the rest of its life. A lucky, healthy tressym can live to be 20 years old.
