Panthera Awesome: Difference between revisions

* The Bastet werecats from ''[[Werewolf: The Apocalypse]]''. There are nine tribes, each based on folk depictions of the animals. Simba werelions style themselves as natural leaders, Swara werecheetahs are messengers, Khan weretigers are warriors and heavily involved with the ''Hengeyokai'', Bagheera werepanthers/leopards are judges/justice-dealers, Pumonca werecougars are travellers, Qualmi werelinxes are mystics/riddle-lovers, the Ceilican are faerie-touched Eurasian wildcats, and the Bubasti are mysterious Egyptian black cats. Unfortunately, the Bastet as a whole are difficult for players to portray. They're solitary by nature except for the Simba and Khan, but only in the context of an African or Asian setting. And like other Changing Breeds, they're an ill fit for the social dynamic of a werewolf pack. This does not stop players with [[Special Snowflake Syndrome]] from insisting on playing one.

* The Lyran Empire in ''[[Star Fleet Battles]]'' names all its ship models after species of big cats, e.g. the Tiger cruiser, Saber-Toothed Tiger mauler, Cheetah frigate...

** The Rakasta, humanoid big cats who come in much the same types as ''Werewolf'''s Bastet.

** [[Catfolk]] appear in both 3rd Edition and ''[[Pathfinder]]''. They seem to be based roughly off of lions in the former, leopards in the latter.

* In ''[[The Road to El Dorado]]'', the villain controls a giant jaguar statue to terrorize the city.

* In one episode of ''[[Time Warp Trio]]'', the kids go back in time to the ancient Mayan civilization. They are kidnapped by soldiers who take them to be eaten by jaguars.

* In ''[[Thundercats]]'' and ''[[Thundercats 2011|ThunderCats (2011)]]'' Jaga is a [[Catfolk]] Jaguar.

* Ravage in ''[[Transformers Generation 1]]'' is stated to be a (black) jaguar.

** In D&D as a whole, there's the Displacer Beast whose shape resembles [[A. E. van Vogt]]'s Coeurl. Most notable for being hard to hit, because it appears to be several feet away from its actual location.

** [[Forgotten Realms]] has Drizzt Do'Urden's figurine of power/magical pet panther named Guenhwyvar. Initially made for [[Doom Magnet|unlucky]] bladesinger Josidiah Starym of Myth Drannor.
