This one needs no explanation. These first appeared in my game as trained hunting animals, which of course has historic precedence. Unlikely to be a major threat to PC's but great for adding some flavour to an encounter with nobles in the right kind of regions.

A sleek, sand coloured cat with large, darker spots with open centres. Built purely for speed, a cheetah can for one round increase its speed to 360’(120’), but within 2 turns must rest for 1 turn after any period of 5 or more rounds running or combat. Cheetahs are usually solitary, but family groups of a mother with multiple young adults are common.
