Elder Panther

The scourge of the jungle, panthers are master of the silent kill. Though they prefer swamp and rain forests, they have been known to roam across scrublands and desert. Consequently, they are widespread in the Deadfire Archipelago.

Fiercely independent, they thrive in the underbrush where their dark coats provide them ample camouflage, and eschew interacting with kith unless they perceive a territorial threat. Their impressive musculature and bone structure make these cats lethal pouncers, and the strength of their bite is such that they can pierce the shells of armored reptiles. Even a halfhearted strike from their paw is enough to stagger an unprepared opponent.
