	This may be explained by the fact that particularly large werejaguar troops may be led by an unusually malevolent alpha, one that will lead its followers to roam far outside of its territory, hunting down all sentient species it comes across.

	These werejaguars inhabit tropical rain forests, and are fearsome solitary hunters with triple forms; human, beast, and man-beast. In their beast form, they appear as jaguars with glowing red eyes whilst retaining full human intelligence, whilst as humans, they tend to be lithe, long-limbed and athletic, with very sharp hearing. They are always found living on the edges of civilization at best, since they are extremely uncomfortable in urban environments; if forced to enter a city, a Mystaran werejaguar is always impatient and short-tempered. Their hybrid form is quite unusual, in that it looks mostly human; their legs become more well-developed, their forearms and lower legs become bestial claws, and their head changes into that of an anthropomorphic jaguar		These werejaguars inhabit tropical rain forests, and are fearsome solitary hunters with triple forms; human, beast, and man-beast.

	The generic werejaguar is a human or demihuman capable of assuming three forms; its humanoid form (which may have sandy blonde hair streaked with black, or vice-versa); a large jaguar perhaps 7 feet long from nose to rump; and an anthropomorphic hybrid animal form: broad snout, blackmarked sandy pelt, wide paws that retain opposable thumbs, and a long, expressive tail. These werejaguars fear only the touch of enchanted blades or weapons made from obsidian, and are fatally susceptible to mercury poisoning.
