Teekl

Teekl is the familiar of Klarion, and his anchor in the Earthly plane.

Physical appearance
Teekl resembles a domestic cat with ginger fur and tiger stripes.

History
Klarion kept Teekl with him at all times. This was something Doctor Fate noticed, and he attacked the cat rather than the witch boy. This made Klarion so mad that he was forced to retreat to save his anchor with the mortal plane.

After the arrest of the Injustice League, Teekl was present with Klarion to hear Vandal Savage's view of the Kobra Venom plant test and the heroes believing they had exposed the Secret Society.

Teekl accompanied Klarion to a location where he could summon his old allies Felix Faust, Wotan, Blackbriar Thorn and Wizard. Teekl signaled him when he was at the right location for the spell.

When the Team confronted Klarion, Kid Flash remembered Teekl was Klarion's weakness. However, Klarion saw through this plan, and Teekl transformed into a much larger and feral cat creature. Superboy had his hands full, until Klarion retreated and summoned Teekl back with him.

Powers and abilities
Teekl is Klarion's anchor on the earthly plain and if the cat were to be fatally injured then its master would be thrown back to his own dimension. Klarion could boost Teekl's physical abilities, transforming into a large saber-tooth cat.

Background in other media

 * Teekl was designed by Character Designer Jerome Moore. Moore based Teekly's scraggly fur and whiskers on Mrs. Norris, the cat belonging to caretaker Argus Filch in the Harry Potter films. He also gave the cat's markings a rune-like quality, and included a vial/pendant on the collar that was based on the blood-filled necklaces worn by Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton when they were married.
 * This is Teekl's second animated appearance. The first was the The New Batman Adventures episode "The Demon Within".
 * Teekl's gender has varied in each version; Kirby's version is a female, and Morrison's version is male.
