Traits

Keen Smell. The wampus cat has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell.

Pounce. If the wampus cat moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a claw attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the wampus cat can make one bite attack against it as a bonus action.

Running Leap. With a 10-foot running start, the wampus cat can long jump up to 25 feet.

Hypnotic Gaze. The wampus cat fixes its gaze on one creature it can see within 10 feet of it. The target must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw against this magic or fall asleep for 1 minute. If a target’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the target is immune to the wampus cat’s gaze for the next 24 hours.

Actions

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (1d8 + 8) piercing damage.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (1d6 + 6) slashing damage.

Reactions

Mystic Feline Senses. The wampus cat has a strange power that allows it to sense the thoughts of humanoid creatures up to 30 ft. away as if using telepathy. Once per turn, the wampus cat may reroll any saving throw against an attacker within 30 ft. of it.

Description

Legend says that the original wampus cat was a woman possessed by the spirit of a great mountain cat. Somewhat resembling the mundane mountain lion or cougar in size and appearance, the Wampus Cat is native to the Appalachian Mountains. This great cat has six legs, but will occasionally run upright on just two legs. The wampus cat has a sleek and heavily muscled frame with jet black fur. It has startlingly human eyes that shine with an eerie yellow glow that are reputed to have the power of both hypnosis and telepathy. The wampus cat is fast, strong, and almost impossible to kill. When it attacks, it lets out a strange, high pitched hissing sound.

Wampus cats live in deserted, humid areas with much plant growth, particularly swamplands and forested ravines. Wampus cats range from 7 to 9 feet long and can weigh anywhere from 250 to 700 pounds.
