A cat that lives too long may grow a second tail and learn to walk upright. The nekomata remembers every cruelty in the household, speaks with the dead and makes corpses dance by moving its tails like a puppeteer's hands.
Special Attack
Corpse Dance: up to three corpses within 60 ft rise with 30 HP, AC 11 and one 2d6 attack each. They act on the nekomata's turn and fall when it cannot see them. Forked-Tail Flame: fire, 60 ft, +6 to hit, 4d8+5.
Special Defense
Cut the Puppetry: binding both tails ends Corpse Dance and prevents another use until the bindings are removed. A sincere apology and restitution for the household cruelty that awakened it forces a Mind save; on a failed save it dismisses the corpses and listens before attacking again.
