The Giant Lynx is unusual in that it is not only larger than the normal sort of lynx, but also more intelligent. In fact, a giant lynx is as intelligent as a human (on the average) and they speak their own language and have a 15% chance of speaking Common as well.

A giant lynx attacks with its foreclaws and its bite, and if both foreclaws hit it may make two additional attacks with its hind-claws (known as a “rake” attack).

The giant lynx is found in cold regions, including both arctic and subarctic climates as well as snowy mountainous areas. If encountered in lair there is a 25% chance of 1d4 kittens who have one-half or 1 hit die and can attack only by biting for 1d3 points of damage.
