Bubastis
The golden faction in Cthulhu Wars
A cat among cats.
For the literary source of the faction, read “The Cats of Ulthar” (1920). It’s thin. If Lovecraft had lived another 60 or 70 years and experienced the Internet, he may have liked the cat pictures, but cats are not a big player in the Cthulhu Mythos. In the official rules of the game, the faction is obnoxious, often preying on players who are already weak.
