A ray cat is a creature belonging to the cats faction. Ray cats can be found rarely underground, as well as in ruins and the flower fields. Additionally, 2-6 ray cats can be found alongside cat herders at the Stiltgrounds.[1][2]

Ray cats are docile creatures, meaning they will be neutral in spite of the player's low inital reputation with cats; however, they will still become hostile if provoked, or if the player's reputation with cats falls significantly.[3] Ray cats attack with their \claws and their \bite, natural short blade weapons that each deal ♥1d2-10-1 (Avg: 0.5) damage.

Ray cats passively give off light in a circular area with a radius of 4 tiles, about the same as a torch.[3] If the player is favored by cats, they can pet ray cats, which will bestow phosphorescent on the player for 100-200 rounds. This will cause them to give off light in a circular area with a radius of 3 tiles.[4]

Ctesiphus is a unique ray cat that can always be found in Joppa.[5]

Joppa Ray Cat

The "joppa ray cat", as it is referred to internally, is a unique ray cat that has a 2% chance to spawn in the ruins of Joppa, which will replace Joppa if the player chooses a different starting village when creating their character.[6][7] Besides being excluded from dynamic encounters, the joppa ray cat is identical to a normal ray cat in all regards.[8] It is a creature distinct from Ctesiphus, however, who will be guaranteed to spawn in Joppa if the player selects Joppa as their starting village.
