Bodyguards

The outcome of the first match was set from the start. After only a few minutes of fighting in the fog, Dana managed to hit the Moor Cat with a barrage of magic missiles, breaking its barrier and ending the match.

Dana ended her spells, and the cat transformed back to human form to pout.

"Mages are too dangerous in a fair fight." She complained.

Another beast, some sort of chimera with a mostly feline body, but tentacles on the sides and six legs, stepped up to challenge Dana.

They started off easy enough, with probing attacks. Then the beast seemed to split into three, and a surge of understanding flowed through Karl's mind. 

That skill was a solid illusion, but it was the same as the essence of the Bodyguards. 

Now he understood how they were supposed to be formed.
