Azarel is able to identify the being in the cage as a Dweomercat from a passage during one of his many countless sessions studying mountains of tomes.<br/><br/><em>"Powerful and regal, dweomercats stalk the First World, preying upon lesser creatures, but more voraciously hunting new and ever stranger sources of magic. Beings as much composed of sculpted arcane eddies as of flesh and blood, these capricious felines flourish along the intangible ley lines of their home realm, drinking in its weird powers as a plant thrives on light. Yet even more potent than their thirst for magic and the euphoria they draw from being in proximity to the reshaping of reality is dweomercats’ racial curiosity, which leads them endlessly across the First World—and often beyond.  The average adult dweomercat is about 4 feet tall and 7 feet long, weighing over 250 pounds, while their cubs are approximately 1 foot tall and weigh no more than 15 pounds."</em><br/><br/>Though the extents of its abilities beyond that of a normal feline eludes your knowledge.  Clearly they are much more intelligent than a tiger of the material world and are capable of speaking Common at the very least.<br/><br/>
