Wampus cat hair makes for a powerful core, and it knows it. The wizard or witch a Wampus wand chooses for its master is confident. The Six legged Wampus Cat is native to Appalachia and somewhat resembles the mundane mountain lion or cougar in size and appearance. It can walk on its hind legs, outrun arrows, and its yellow eyes are reputed to have the power of both hypnosis and Legilimency. The Cherokee have most extensively studied the Wampus Cat, with whom they share their native region, and only they have ever succeeded in procuring Wampus Cat hair for use as a wand core. The Warrior’s wand, Wampus hair Wands are perhaps the most loyal of North American cores, quickly becoming strongly attached to their owner, they are particularly fast learners as well, capable of performing strong magic early on. However in the hands of undisciplined masters they tend to be disputatious, rash and impulsive, often acting of their own accord, a quality that Wizard's possessing flaky natures are sure to dislike.
