Cait Sith

Cait Sith is one of the nine races in «ALfheim Online».

Background
The Cait Siths originate from the East and owns Butterfly Valley, one of the three large pathways to the World Tree. The Cait Sith's castle-like capital of Freelia is bordered by the Puca territory on the north and the Sylph territory on the south.

The main difference between a Cath Sith and the other races is that the Cath Sith are blessed with cat-like ears and tails that, despite not being an appendage native to humans, send feeling to the brain by an unknown mechanism. These appendages are overly sensitive and would cause the Cait Sith to inhibit weird sensations when the said appendages are grabbed roughly.

Another characteristic unique to the Cait Siths is their capability to tame monsters and use them in battle. They are also known to be one of the five lightweight races and are capable of using the Wall Run skill.

The Cait Siths are also known to be on good terms with the Sylphs, having provided tamed monsters to the Sylph capital. At one point, they made a treaty and joined forces to attack the World Tree. Though only one race could attain the promised unlimited flight of the Alfs, the two races promised to assist the other race in the next Grand Quest.

Abilities
Monster Taming: The Cait Sith are the only race capable of taming monsters and use them for battle. However, they are incapable of taming evil-god type monsters due to their taming rate being 0%.

Enhanced Speed: Cait Siths, like the Sylphs, are known to be incredibly agile. They are known to use their enhanced speed and agility to strengthen their attacks.

Wall Run: As one of the lightweight races, the Cait Siths are capable of using the skill Wall Run, that, as the name suggests, allows them to temporarily run on walls. The normal limit is a distance of ten meters but those with an extremely high sprinting speed are known to be able to run for about thirty meters.
