Cath appears to enjoy chewing on Arthur's hair and his cape.

History
Not much is known about Cath's history or how Arthur managed to find it after training in Istar.

Istar arc
After Arthur and Gowther have completed their training and return to the group, Cath is on top of Arthur's head. Merlin asks Arthur what the strange object on top of his head is, and Arthur and Gowther merely reply that it is a mystery.

After leaving Istar, Gowther tries to remove Cath from Arthur's head, but cannot do so and only ends up hurting Arthur. Gowther notes that Cath seems to be stuck to Arthur.

Great Fight Festival arc
Cath remains on Arthur's head throughout the Great Fight Festival arc.

Cath's abilities and purpose are currently unknown, but Nanashi has stated that Arthur will not die as long as Cath remains with him.
