Known for its radiant fur and kingly appearance, the Jin’Hu is called the king of the Cleova. This territorial, apex predator rules over its domain in the northern regions alone, constantly on the prowl for prey with its sharp eyesight and acute hearing. Armed with a bone-crushing bite and a powerful pounce, the Jin’Hu is a very efficient killer. It’s low, rumbling growl causes other fearless Venari predators, such as the Leolis and Valtri, to stop in their tracks and flee. For much of the Age of Ignorance, humanity avoided all Venari, including the Jin’Hu. It wasn’t until after the Legendary Collector’s infamous encounter with them during one fateful Yue’Guxiang Festival, that the Jin’Hu were understood to be peaceful around humans - provided the proper respect be given to these proud predators.The Legendary Collector’s account has been widely popularized as one of the many tales celebrated during Yue’Guxiang, leading to the formation of one of its most well-known traditions; preparing food for one another to share a meal as respected equals. Using its sharp claws to pierce directly into the icy rock, the Ice Jin’Hu is capable of scaling snowy mountain faces quickly. It’s thick white coat helps it stay warm and blend into the snowstorm, leaving its prey almost no time to react to seeing this terrifying ghost. This variant also tends to share territories as prey is extremely scarce in the high mountains and any successful hunt draws many Ice Jin’Hu together to feast.
