Are servals allowed to be roleplayed, or are they considered 'big cats'?
I was thinking of making a serval character, but if not I could just make him different. I want a large, leopard-like tom who used to be a kittypet. A serval seems fun to play but they might have too much of an advantage in battles....

There is also a video that shows one serval's body size pretty nicely, with the comparison of a 2 1/2 year old serval, and then a 5 month old savannah.

WindClan and ShadowClan seem to make more sense for the serval to live in, but I think if he got used to it, good old kitty would be able to get used to different environments. Not sure. :3
"The serval is native to Africa, where it is widely distributed south of the Sahara. It was once also found in Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria, but may have been extirpated from Algeria and remains in Tunisia only because of a reintroduction program. Serval became extinct in the Cape provinces of South Africa over the last century mainly due to habitat loss, hunting and poaching. However private game reserves in the Eastern Cape have begun re-introducing the species in the hopes of contributing to the eventual re-establishment of these wild cats in the region.
Its main habitat is the savanna, although melanistic individuals are more usually found in mountainous areas at elevations up to 3,000 metres (9,800 ft). The serval needs watercourses within its territory, so it does not live in semi-deserts or dry steppes. Servals also avoid dense equatorial jungles, although they may be found along forest fringes. They are able to climb and swim, but seldom do so." -Wikipedia
Question;
Can I make only two serval cats? (So it is not unrealistic--it should not be common for 7 of them to be prowling around the clans! xD) They can be bullied as much as anyone wants to, because not only are they strange, large cats with large ears and long legs, they look like leopards and cheetahs, AND these two characters were also kittypets.
Like, wow, that's a lot of different reasons to think of them as strange. Especially since their habits are strange.
They hunt mostly at night since they are nocturnal so they would go on lots of dusk patrols, and they sometimes eat small prey whole. They are known to eat pretty quickly, which can cause them to gag. Must be awkward. ("Omfg I'm so hungry!" *GULP* *MUNCH* "Oh god!-" *Gag* *Gag* "Ugh.." *Swallows, every clan member staring awkwardly* "Uh, that never happened. I just enjoyed a fine meal. Anyways, HAY LEADER, SIGN ME UP FOR DUSK PATROLS, NAO. Mmkay.")

They would be welcomed in ShadowClan, and Shockstar would see to it that they do ;3
She knows very well that it is good to have large and strong warriors. She can give them their warrior names if you want her to. Oh, and since the pine forest is pretty dark, if they have to go on the morning patrol, they wouldn't be so cranky x3

Basically their story will be they're brother and sister, as well as best friends. Their twoleg keeps them well-fed and very happy, but they long to be in the wild as they are supposed to be wild cats.
So, male serval (Zeus, pronounced Zee-is which is inspired by the serval in that video who is called Zeus but pronounced Zoos. :3) tells his sister that he wants to explore, and that he knows that she wants to as well. She nods, saying he knows all of her secrets. He says it's not much of a secret. She says to get on with it. He says that the forest isn't too far away, and that he wants to run away for a little while, if not for good. She, very surprised, disagrees and says it could be too dangerous. He eventually convinces her, and she reluctantly agrees to go. So, they set off, and eventually make it to the border of the forest. Holding in their fear, they step over the ShadowClan border unknowingly, and eventually go too far in. Lost, he tries to find the way out again but him and his sister just end up going deeper into the territory. A few cats are out for a patrol or whatever they're outside the camp for and they meet them. And from there, the thread will be made. :3

I've always wanted to bring in a Sand Cat. Do you know how cute their kittens are?

I love sand cats!
I totally forgot about them.
SMOKE
They're less weird than servals.
Can we play 'em? :D
If so, three new charries will be on my list. :3
Re: Are servals allowed to be roleplayed, or are they considered 'big cats'?
Meh, go ahead. But it needs to be as likely as you can make it, please :3
Re: Are servals allowed to be roleplayed, or are they considered 'big cats'?
It's a little bunch to start suddenly bringing in all these big cats.
Also maybe you should consider letting someone else RP one of the servals so that it will be more fair?
Just a thought. :)

If you search up 'Serval' in Google Search, it usually gives you some good pictures.
