The carnivorous kitlin xenotype originated among cat-loving glitterworld bodymodders. They have a reputation on the rim as lazy, useless, and easily distracted, and it's true that many of their feline-derived genes weren't chosen with a hard frontier life in mind. However, their agility and predatory instincts make them natural hunters and quite handy in a firefight.

Other Features
Compatibility
1.6 only. In 1.5, this xenotype is included in the base mod Cyanobot's Genes.
Generation
The frequency with which kitlin show up as factionless pawns (beggars, transport pod crashes, etc) can be controlled using a slider in the mod settings.
Additionally, a toggle allows kitlin to be added (2% spawn rate) to Tribal, Outlander and Pirate factions (including the cannibal/nudist variants from Ideology, but not including the single-xenotype variants from Biotech).
For finer control, use something like Xenotype Spawn Control.
Planned features
Infographics. For now, check parent mod Cyanbot's Genes for documentation of the new genes.[docs.google.com]
