Parders

The parder is a wild cat inhabiting the jungle-covered isles of Marapur. Its fur is of a dark ochreous ground-color, obliterated by a dark-brown blotched pattern on legs and flanks. A dark stripe also runs from the head across the neck and back. Parders are good climbers, but due to the omnipresence of water they have also developed into good swimmers and like to catch fish. For the nagas, the medium-sized predatory cats hardly pose a threat. They do, however, prey on humanoid bipeds.

Parders have 1200 hitpoints. They cannot be paralysed. Moreover, they are strong against earth, ice and physical damage. On the other hand, they are weak against fire damage. These creatures can neither be summoned nor convinced.

Parders yield 1100 experience points. They carry gold coins, ham, parder furs, parder teeth, red crystal fragments and sometimes other items with them.
