Bestiary Entry[]

A witch's familiar. It is said the anyone who crosses its path will be cursed with bad luck for seven years. It likes to catch mice in the monastery grounds, and frequently likes to drink from the fountain in the courtyard...

Appearance[]

This mangy moggy appears as either a grey or black coated feline, with a penchant for finding women's jewelry.

Strategy[]

Black cats are quite easy to defeat by either magic or by a physical attack. They seldom appear with other monsters and pose very little threat.

Location[]

NOTE: Enemies in Koudelka are fought on specific screens.

Ordinary[]

The screens that the regular Black Cat can be encountered in are:

Storage Room[]

Caretaker's Quarters[]

Patrick's Quarters[]

Special[]

The Special variant appears only after the Disc 4 point-of-no-return.

Outer Wall/Bell Tower Spire[]

Etymology[]

Crossing the path of a black cat has often been considered as being very unlucky by the superstitious. The idea supposedly comes from the concept of witches and demons transforming into them when they wished to make a speedy getaway. Sometimes, white cats are regarded also as being unlucky.

In the British Isles and Ireland though, If the black cat crosses your path from right to left it is 'bad luck'. If it crosses your path from left to right, it is 'good luck'.
