Giant Lynx

Lynxes weigh 1d50+20 pounds, with males being larger than females. They stalk prey and often attack with surprise. If both claws hit, they do an automatic 1d4 damage raking with their hind claws. Giant lynxes are as large as humans, and are often more intelligent. They are knowledgeable about their territories, and may parlay with humanoids in exchange for some benefit – often the removal of some threat beyond the lynx’s own power to confront. 30% of giant lynxes speak and understand the local humanoid languages (check for each language used regionally), and 10% also know the common tongue. This entry is based off the Eurasian lynx, which is about twice as large as the Canadian or Iberian lynxes. Canadian and Iberian lynxes can be treated as bobcats with an additional +1 bonus to attack rolls and the cold resistance of their Eurasian counterparts.
