detached omniscient observer predatory presence hive-mind aligned

A teleporting feline vulture native to Cheetah World, the kitling serves as both predator and agent of the planet's Cheetah people. Draped in the hides of fallen prey, it glides between dimensions with eerie detachment, materializing to watch battles or shriek warnings when carnage peaks.

Its feeding nearby during Ace's struggle silently underscores the fate of those who fully surrender to the planet's transformation.
