Why adopt

Desert predator. The Caracal survives neglect better than most extreme cats thanks to its resilience mechanic, but it hisses at affection until trust exceeds 80%. Slow trust speed means the payoff takes real patience. For agents who want an extreme challenge where the reward is distant but meaningful.
