✦ GENERAL ✦

✦ Common Name: Panzoi Panthers

XXXThe common name for the species was given to them due to their belief that the entire universe is a living thing and is suffused with life. The term for this belief is actually panzoism, hence the first part of their common name: panzoi. The second part of their name comes from their feline-esque features that make them resemble panthers.


✦ Scientific Name: Panthera taurus

XXXThe scientific name for the species comes from the fact that they are both feline and bovine in their features. The first part of their scientific name, Panthera, comes from the scientific name for leopards: Panthera pardus. The second part of their scientific name, taurus, comes from the scientific name for cattle: Bos taurus.


✦ Singular vs Plural: Panther vs Panthers

XXXPanzoi Panther, or Panpan, is singular. Panzoi Panthers, or Panpans, is plural.


✦ Group: Knot

XXXA group or family of Panzoi Panthers is called a Knot.


✦ Males: Bull

XXXMale Panzoi Panthers are known as Bulls.


✦ Females: Does

XXXFemale Panzoi Panthers are known as Does.


✦ Young: Cubs

XXXYoung Panzoi Panthers that are newborn to a year old are called cubs.

───────────────────────────────────────────────────

✦ ANATOMY & FEATURES ✦

XXXPanzoi Panthers are feline creatures with a bovine face and noticeable forward-facing eyes. Their snouts are round with large, oval nostrils. They have wide shoulders with hips that are slightly more slender. Average size for a Panzoi Panther is six to eight feet at the shoulder, with males typically being bigger than females. They also have a wide range of varying features. Some have no claws, others have long claws. Some have buckteeth, others have big saber teeth or tusks. Heterochromia and colored sclera are possible. There are various ears, tails, pupils, horns, and more seen in the species. Some of the features are seen more often than others. To see the rarities and a full list of traits available, see the Traits list below.

───────────────────────────────────────────────────

✦ COLORS & PATTERNS ✦

XXXPanzoi Panthers come in a wide range of colors and patterns. Most of the time their patterns are similar to those seen on other animals, such as leopard or cheetah spots, tabby cat or okapi stripes, or patches of color on a mostly white coat like cows. Other sorts of patterns are typical in the species, as well. It is quite common to see hearts, stars, crescents, triangles, perfect circles, or other shapes in the coat of a Panzoi Panther. One thing that does set the species apart from other mammals is that their coats show a range of colors from grays, browns, and blacks to all shades of the rainbow. It isn't unusual to see a green or pink Panzoi Panther! The single consistent feature to their coloration is that the inside of their nostrils and the inside of their ears is always the same color.

───────────────────────────────────────────────────

✦ PLANET ✦

XXXPanzoi Panthers live in an alternate universe to ours on a planet called Raibos Muze. The planet is quite similar to Earth in size, shape, and climate. There are continents teaming with many of the same life forms we see on Earth, including humans. There are also vast oceans, beaches, lakes, rivers, deserts, mountains, forests, and more. Along with the Panzoi Panthers, there are other types of animals on Raibos Muze that we don't see here on Earth. Perhaps we'll get to see some of those other animals in the future?

───────────────────────────────────────────────────

✦ SOCIETY ✦

XXXPanzoi Panthers are capable of speech and have an intelligent society. They live in groups or family units, called Knots, which are matriarchal in their hierarchy. Not all Knots are exactly the same, but they do tend to base themselves off a similar hierarchy. There is typically a single elder female, known as the Grandmother, who presides over the group and is the one who makes any major decisions that affect the entire Knot. Beneath her are the Council, a group of other elder females of the Knot who help guide the Grandmother in her decisions. Other ranks in a Knot may include Hunters, who hunt and provide food for their Knot; Warriors, who fight and protect their Knot from intruders; and Sitters, who watch over the youngest cubs and keep them safe. Some Knots may include additional ranks or have different names for their ranks.

XXXThe raising of young is seen as a vital aspect in the Panzoi Panther society. Sitters are the ones who typically take up the responsibility the most, but all members of a Knot are expected to help with raising the cubs. Cubs are watched by their mothers the most while they are still suckling. Once cubs are weaned, they are watched more often by the Sitters, who begin the process of teaching the cubs about their society and how things work. Hunting and fighting skills are also taught to the cubs by the Sitters. Once a cub reaches a year old, they are passed on to Mentors in various other ranks of the Knot. For example, if a cub shows interest in hunting, they will be given a Hunter Mentor and learn more about hunting from their Mentor. Eventually, as the cubs grow and show their worth, they become full members of their Knot.

XXXSome cubs may decide to leave their family or Knot to start their own Knot or look for another Knot to join. Whether this is encouraged or frowned upon is different for every Knot. Knots that encourage this behavior call it the Awakening, while Knots who discourage it call it the Abandoning. There have been some Knots who dislike a cub leaving their original Knot so much that they fully exile the cub, forcing them to never be allowed to return even if they decide they want to come back. Other Knots celebrate the cub's leaving and give the cub a warm going away party, showering them with gifts and wisdom before they embark on their journey into the world. Again, no two Knots are exactly the same so whether a cub is exiled or given a party or just receives a simple good-bye depends on the Knot they grew up in.

XXXThe Panzoi Panthers are a quite spiritual sort. They believe that the entire universe is a living thing and is suffused with life. Each time they take a life for their meals, they thank the animal for their sacrifice and beg forgiveness from the universe for having to take a life to survive. They have many types of ceremonies and holidays that they participate in, where they praise the universe or thank the universe for the good and bad occurrences in their lives. These ceremonies and holidays may be slightly different depending on the Knot celebrating, but they tend to have many similarities.
