Traits

Shapechanger. The werepanther can use its action to polymorph into a panther-humanoid hybrid or into a panther, or back into its true form, which is humanoid. Its statistics, other than its size, are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies.

Keen Hearing and Smell. The weretiger has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.

Pounce (Panther or Hybrid Form Only). If the werepanther moves at least 15 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a claw attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 14 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the weretiger can make one bite attack against it as a bonus action.

Heartless. Chakuna has no heart—literally. At the height of her contest with von Kharkov, she ripped it out of her chest with her fingers and placed it at the center of the Yaguara Mountain maze, then replaced it by taking and eating von Kharkov’s heart. Doing so, she co-opted von Kharkov’s powers and accursed immortality and claimed Valachan as her own. Within Yaguara’s Heart, the sacred nexus of the maze, Chakuna’s heart still beats as one with the land, infinitely connected and as robust as the rain forest. But like anything that lives, her tie with the domain she’s claimed must be maintained. Life eats life. And so Chakuna sacrifices the blood of the hunted to the land to maintain her grip on power. If she doesn’t, the plants and animals of the domain grow hostile, threatening to wipe out all who dwell there.
