Pard

A pard is a spotted, tannish russet cat of the Elladoran plains. They are rather fast and kill their prey quickly. Their most unique property is that their fur resists fleas entirely. The coat of a pard is thus desired as bedding and clothing. In old age, their tails all but fall off, leaving a short, flappy tail almost like the stubby tail of the lynx.
Hybrids of pards and lions and pards and leopards exist in Ellador, as most of the big cat species can, under circumstances of abnormal behavior, make offspring with one another, though they are infertile as a mule. When a female cat of another species mates with a pard, she must wash off its unique smell thoroughly or her mate will kill her and refuse to mate with any females again.
