Cat, Cheetah

CR 2.00 Animal N Medium
This large, sleek feline has a golden coat spotted with black. Its long and powerful legs are obviously capable of great speed.

The cheetah is a swift and deadly predator capable of moving with incredible speed, allowing it to run down unsuspecting foes hundreds of feet away. The hunting cat avoids areas of dense and tangled undergrowth, but has great skill at lying in wait in tall grass.

An adult cheetah is 4-1/2 feet long and weighs 140 pounds.
