These forest cats prefer cold regions.
They are aggressive and compete well with other predators because of their intelligence.

Giant lynx climb very well, swim
reasonably well, and they can leap 15’. If the lynx strikes with both
forepaws, it will then get two additional attacks, raking with the rear
claws, each cousing 1-3 hit points of damage.

Giant lynx speak their own language. They hove also learned to hide
themselves in order to avoid detection (90% unlikely in normal
circumstances) or surprise prey (surprise on 1-5). They are 75% accurate in
detecting traps.

Lair: If found in their lair
there is a 25% chance that there will be 1-4 kittens there, 10% to 30%
grown, with no effective attack.
