{"name":"Snow Cat","cr":"1\/4 (50 XP)","types":"Beast","size":"Medium","languages":"","alignment":"Unaligned","description":"These panther-sized cats have the features of a lynx, including\r\nthe long fur at the tips of the ears, and they can hear a snowshoe\r\nhare hopping a hundred yards away.\r\n\r\nCamouflage and Patience. A snow cat\u2019s coat changes with\r\nthe seasons and ranges from stark white to muddy brown. They\r\nare patient hunters, preferring to ambush prey from high places.\r\nTheir typical prey includes everything from mice and rabbits to\r\ngoats, sheep, and small pigs.\r\n\r\nFriends to Small Folk. Gnomes and halflings have an\r\naffinity with these predatory animals, and it is common for\r\nseveral snow cats to serve as guards and scouts for a halfling\r\nvillage or a gnomish settlement. Stories of snow cats serving as\r\nmounts for small folk seem to have some truth to them, though\r\nthis is rather uncommon.\r\n\r\nFeeding Frenzy. Some snow cats enjoy working as a\r\nhunting pair or as a scout for a mountain druid or steppe ranger.\r\nHowever, they are extremely difficult to pull away from a kill.\r\nOnce they have their teeth in something, they get very possessive\r\nand cannot be convinced to part with a carcass unless given\r\nsome other food in exchange. In hills or forests, they often hide\r\na recent kill up a tree or on a high ledge and return to it over\r\nseveral days to devour it all.","suggestedenvironment":"","ac":"12","hitpoints":"13 (3d8)","strength":"14","dexterity":"14","constitution":"10","intelligence":"3","wisdom":"14","charisma":"7","movement":"50","fly":"","hover":"","burrow":"","swim":"","climb":"40","senses":"Passive Perception 14","skills":"Perception +4, Stealth +6","savingthrows":"","damagevulnerabilities":"","damageresistances":"","damageimmunities":"","conditionimmunities":"","spellcasting":"","atwill":"","onceperday":"","twiceperday":"","thriceperday":"","specialabilities":"Keen Senses - The snow cat has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight, hearing, or smell.\r\n\r\nStalker - If the snow cat surprises a creature and hits it with a bite attack, the target is grappled (escape DC 12) if it is a Medium or smaller creature.\r\n\r\nSnow Camouflage - The snow cat has advantage on Dexterity(Stealth) checks made to hide in snowy terrain.","actions":"Bite.
