Each hostile creature within 60 feet of the cyonaxin and that can hear it must succeed on a DC 15  Wisdom  saving throw or be  frightened  for 1 minute. A creature grappling or restraining another creature has disadvantage on its saving throws.

The obligate carnivores constrain their diet to non?sentient creatures, except for those who subjugate others. \n'b'  Beacons of Freedom . Cyonaxin believe every creature should be free from slavery, captivity, and imprisonment. They concede imprisonment is sometimes necessary, but they view execution as more merciful. \n'b'  Friendly Competitors . Though the celestial cheetahs take their responsibilities seriously, they delight in friendly competition. They compare their results against other cyonaxin and engage in spirited rivalries with blestsessebe. Cyonaxin can be reckless in freeing their charges and sometimes lose people in their care. They regard such losses as unfortunate but still victories since the deceased enjoyed the taste of freedom before dying.'
