These are Catmen tribe designs. They are tree-dwellers with opposable toes and prehensile tails. From left to right they are a Dancer/Shaman, a Tribe Leader, and a Hunter. Drawn from scratch with references nearby.
Dancers: The Dancers are entertainers, storytellers, and spiritual leaders within the tribe. It takes a great amount of both skill and knowledge to become a Dancer. This profession is open to both males and females, and it is not uncommon to see them working in pairs.
Leaders: The tribes are matriarchal, and so the position of tribe leader is only available to females. When a female becomes a leader, her dread-locked hair is cut off and allowed to grow in naturally. A leader can always be identified by her hair, even if she were to try and disguise herself. This also means that you can tell how long a leader has been in control of her tribe by the length of her hair, and in meetings between leaders the length of ones hair can equal the prestige they carry. The position of leader is one for life, and when the previous leader dies, their successor is chosen among the women Dancers with consent from the tribe.
Hunters: The Hunter's main role in the tribe is to go out and hunt. Most of their prey consist of Squirds, with the occasional speedy Earm Monkey. Large game hunting is rare, since it is difficult to get them up to the nests that they live in. If there is a conflict between tribes that cannot be settled with talk, it is the Hunters that will fight for their tribe. This role is open to males and females, though it is a mostly male-dominated profession.
