These jungle predators are very ferocious.
They will attack any creature which they believe threatens them.
If found in their lair,
there is a 75% chance that there will be 1-3 young (10% to 40% grown).
The cubs will not fight effectively.
When hungry they will hunt prey much larger than themselves, including snakes and crocodiles.
They climb well,
swim well,
and can leap 30' to attack.
If in close combat the jaguar will grasp its opponent with both forepaws (two paw hits in the same melee round) and
rake with its rear claws (2 additional attacks at 2-5 hit points each that turn).

The jaguar is the sacred animal of Tezcatlipoca.
