Cougar

The cougar is a large feline predator. They are solitary hunters that can be found in temperate forests, temperate swamps, arid shrublands, deserts, boreal forests, and cold bogs. If forced to, or when particularly hungry, they are one of the fiercer wild creatures your colonists can face.

They are effectively identical to the panther, only differing in appearance, habitat, and comfortable temperature range.

Diet

Can eat raw meat, corpses, all animal products, meals, all processed foods, and kibble.

Attacks

Cougars have two attacks: scratch (paw) and bite (teeth). Both attacks apply a stun for 6.67 seconds on their first strike when hunting.

Cougars are strong in combat, with a higher DPS than Wolves, and much higher than the Lynx. The Cougar even has a higher DPS than the Warg according to info elsewhere in this wiki. In game as of April, 2019, the Warg was seen to have slightly higher DPS (5.02) than the Cougar (4.67).

Analysis

Cougars can make for good hauling animals and decent attack animals, if you can keep them fed. While they are more wild than a husky, meaning they create more filth and need to be retrained, cougars will not be hunted by other predators. You can feed them off meals, and when using meals, they are actually more efficient than huskies when it comes for hunger rate. However, you'll need raw meat or kibble to train them.

Training

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.
