 The '''leopard''' thrives across a wide variety of climates, ranging from sub-arctic regions to tropical environments. Notable species include the snow leopard (also called the ''Amur'' leopard), the Javan leopard, the black panther, the Arabian leopard and the commonly recognized African leopard. These majestic [[Animal|animals]] possess soft fur with colouration that varies from nearly white to yellowish and dark golden tones, adorned with distinctive dark spots forming rosettes. Leopards living in colder northern climates develop longer fur to adapt to their environment. Their natural colouring and stealthy behaviour make them exceptional at hiding, enabling them to '''surprise''' prey with remarkable ease.
 __TOC__
 The male leopard is approximately 40% larger than the female, often weighing between 100 and 200 pounds, compared to the female's average range of 60 to 120 pounds. Despite this size difference, both share the same number of hit dice, reflecting their equal lethality in combat. Their bodies are built for stealth and power, with short legs that allow them to move low to the ground and a long, muscular frame that provides balance and agility. The leopard's large skull houses strong jaw muscles, contributing to an exceptionally powerful bite capable of crushing bone.

+If a leopard is captured as a cub and [[Leopard Training (sage ability)|properly raised]] by someone skilled in animal training, the creature can grow into a tame and loyal adult. Such leopards have been kept as pets by nobility and wealthy individuals throughout history, valued for their grace, beauty, and hunting prowess. However, this taming process requires consistent care and attention, as the leopard’s wild instincts can resurface if it feels neglected or threatened. Properly trained, these animals have been used to hunt, guard, or serve as symbols of power and prestige.

-Leopards can [[Climbing|climb trees]] very skillfully, often resting on tree branches and jumping downwards onto its front feet. Leopards attack after rushing forward at considerable speed, '''leaping four [[Combat Hex|combat hexes]]''' in addition to its movement; enabling it to close the distance quickly with its prey.  The leopard can perform this leap between trees, which they sometimes do in order to then drop down on prey, surprising them.
+Leopards are exceptionally skilled at [[Climbing|climbing trees]], frequently resting on branches and using their elevated position to ambush prey. A leopard can rush forward at great speed and '''leap four [[Combat Hex|combat hexes]]''' in addition to its normal movement, enabling it to close the distance with prey rapidly. This leap can also be executed between trees, allowing the leopard to position itself above a target and drop down, surprising its victim.
-The leopard attacks with their claws and fangs. If the leopard strikes with both claws, it gets two additional '''raking hits''' with the rear claws, reflexively causing 1-6 damage each.
+In combat, the leopard uses both its claws and fangs to attack. If it successfully strikes with both front claws, it can deliver two additional '''raking hits''' with its rear claws, each inflicting 1-6 damage reflexively.
-The leopard is very observant in its habitat and can be '''surprised only on a 1 in 6'''.
+Highly attuned to its environment, the leopard is exceptionally difficult to ambush, being '''surprised only on a 1 in 6'''. This keen awareness, combined with its agility and powerful attacks, makes the leopard a formidable predator in its natural habitat.

 The male is about 40% larger than the female; both have the same number of hit dice.  Leopards have short legs and a long body, with a large skull.  They are solitary animals; the male and female separate after mating, with the latter tending to raising the cubs.  If a leopard is caught as a cub and [[Leopard Training (sage ability)|properly raised]], a resultant adult will be tame; leopards are often kept as pets.
