Panther

Panthers are medium-sized predators, good guardians when tamed.

They are effectively identical to the cougar, only differing in appearance, habitat, and comfortable temperature range. Panthers can only be found in tropical rainforests, and tropical swamps.

Diet[edit]

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

Analysis[edit]

Panthers and 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, panthers will not be attacked 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[edit]

This animal can be trained as follows:

Guard:
Attack:
Rescue:
Haul:

*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.

↑ Coverage determines the chance to hit this body part. It refers to the percentage of the super-part that this part covers, before its own sub-parts claim their own percentage. For example, if the base coverage of the super-part is 100%, and the coverage of the part is 20%, 20% of hits would hit the part, and 80% the super-part. If the part had its own sub-part with 50% coverage, the chances would be 10% sub-part, 10% part, 80% super part.
↑ Target Chance is the actual chance for each part to be be selected as the target when each part's coverage has been taken into account(I.E. Neck covers 7.5% of Torso but Head covers 80% of Neck so it actually has only a 1.5% chance to be selected). This is not pure hit chance, as different damage types propagate damage in different ways. See that page for details.
↑ Note that capacities can affect other capacities in turn. Only the primary effect is listed. See specific pages for details.
↑ This is the part that everything else connects to to be considered 'connected'.
↑ If Moving drops below 16% a pawn cannot move.
↑ A Scratch attack that varies from animal to animal. Each front paw allows one attack.

Trivia[edit]

I just discovered that the panther isn't a real animal. I feel betrayed. So I'm adding it to RimWorld anyway.

Panthers are not a distinct species in reality, instead they are simply melanistic examples of leopards or jaguars.
