Panther

Overview
"These beasts are the kings of hunting on land. With natural strength, agility, and perfect night vision, death stalkers can stalk and take down prey even in the dead of night. They tear out their prey's throat first to ensure their demise. Many death stalkers prefer to hunt alone, but that doesn't mean they won't work together to take down a tough opponent. Crossing a pack of death stalkers at night means you've basically signed your own death warrant."
