Lore

The Splintercat is a humorous "fearsome critter" from American lumberjack folklore, a tough-skulled wildcat that head-butts trees at night to shatter them and raid beehives for honey. Leaving splintered trunks and dazed bees, it exemplifies the exaggerated, playful storytelling of frontier woodsmen.
