Panther



A variety of dark big cat hunting in the shadow, panthers are found in the Lost Isles, Swamp of Sorrows, and all over Stranglethorn Vale. Since the Cataclysm, they have disappeared from the Swamp of Sorrows.

The jungle trolls have long coveted panther fangs, using them for rituals or as ingredients in mojos.

A being like a "winged panther" was one of the Ancient Guardians that fought during the War of the Ancients. It had almost human hands. This may have been Ashamane.
