This yellow variant of the common Shokat usually lives in more remote places than their purple counterparts. They are known for having an even stronger and also more consistent output of electricity which makes them very useful for powering devices! Conveniently their existence has been discovered by a smart Shad just when they could prove useful to power a brand-new generator! |

Appearance
Picats are feline creatures of roughly the size of real world cats. Their fur is colored yellow and is surrounded by a electrostatic aura while its tail is white, shaped like a lightning bolt and is made of pure electricity.
Combat
It behaves the same way as a regular Shokat, except for the fact that it attacks on sight rather than being passive. It dodges most attacks until it either charges electricity and dashes towards the player to hit them with its tail, or stays in place while surrounded with a purple aura. Hitting it enough with ranged attacks such as Balls will break it, making it stationary and causing it to pull the player towards itself to deal massive contact damage. It also deals contact damage naturally, but it is way lower than how much it does when it pulls.
During the quest Picats are exclusively found in, the player must break them and activate special cages with Shock to capture them. The lower a Picat's health, the faster they get captured. If a free, non-broken Picat sees another one getting captured, it approaches the vitcim and hits it with its tail to push it away so it doesn't get caught.
Strategies
Ki Thrust is effective at dispersing Picats and affecting them with 
Mark. Despite this, Melee combat can be dangerous because of their high speed and damage, so Balls are prefered. Only keep alive the amount of Picats you actually need to complete the quest, the others will just be an obstacle in your path.
