Shadow Panther
By Ice-Tea-1983
The Shadow panther is a distant relative to the Nundu. It is a large feline, panther, that is as tall as the average human at the shoulder, which would make it nearly fifteen feet tall if it stood on its hind legs.
What makes the Shadow Panther stand apart from the regular panther, apart from its size, is that not only is its fur so pitch black that no light reflects off it but a slight layer of black mist curls around the hairs, making it look like a living shadow.
Its eyes, like a normal panther, are green, but unlike regular panthers, the Shadow Panther's eyes are completely green with no whites or black parts.
Like the Nundu, the Shadow Panther has a long distance attack to supplement its close range. Its claws can form flying blades of shadows that it sends at enemies out of swiping range, these can travel as far as five hundred metres before they are dissolved by light or absorbed by shadow.
What makes the Shadow Panther so feared, it its ability to travel through shadows. It can enter a shadow like a doorway, and exit a different one the same way.
This beast has gotten the Ministry of Magic (M.O.M.) Classification: X (Known wizard killer / impossible to train or domesticate)
It can be found in dense forests and jungles of tropical areas, or in very rare cases, temperate areas if they are disturbed out of their homes.
