description: 'Porachas are feline beasts native to the mystical Forest of Spirits
  in Tian Xia. In their natural form, these graceful eight-legged creatures sport
  a gray tabby coat of fur streaked with lines of olive green, but they are rarely
  seen this way. Even the youngest porachas are capable of hiding within objects,
  making them incredibly elusive and rarely seen except on their own terms. Because
  porachas can so effortlessly blend in with the forest and emerge from its dark corners
  in an instant, superstitious locals believe these beasts are related to kami—nature
  spirits who embody individual trees, stones, or other elements of nature in the
  Forest of Spirits. The truth is that while porachas frequently associate with kami,
  they are their own breed of mysterious monster with powers over time and space that
  set them apart from nature spirits.




  The poracha''s most iconic feature is its ability to bend reality to teleport, or
  jaunt, short distances. But a poracha can also rest within objects, allowing it
  to safely sleep inside. Given that a poracha experiences time very slowly while
  hiding within objects, it can sleep inside of one for an extended period. Once it
  wakes, a poracha departs to play in the living world. Porachas especially enjoy
  resting inside roadside milestones, to maximize their chances of coming across travelers.




  Porachas rarely tread humanoid-occupied lands, preferring the company of the kami
  and their natural habitat in the Forest of Spirits. Though they enjoy occasional
  conversation, they''re extremely sensitive to sound; they speak softly and request
  the same from those they speak with. Their territories span vast swaths of the wood,
  making them ideal allies for hunters or treasure seekers who would otherwise become
  lost in the dense trees. But porachas are nothing if not flckle, and typically demand
  inscrutable favors in return for their aid, such as the planting of a rare sapling
  in a particular grotto or the clearing of an invasive monster species around a treasured
  spring. Any attempt to coerce or trick a poracha into service is ill advised, for
  these sacred beasts have many friends among the kami as well as others of their
  kind. Though they generally don''t travel in groups, porachas know where to find
  more of their kind in times of need, and an organized pack of porachas is a disorienting
  threat.
