The CHEETAH is a fast predatory cat with a spotted pelt that pursues its prey at speed over open ground. It is also known as the Hunting Leopard (although it is not related to Leopards and is actually more closely related to the Puma), as people from places like Shabak and Lendleland like to keep Cheetahs to hunt gazelle and antelope. In the wild, the Cheetah lives either alone or in small family packs on the hot southern plains and savannahs, where it hunts herds of grazing animals. They are considered to be an aspect of the panther god Sku-Rachi, and are worshipped as such at the Tower of the Cheetah in the ancient and decadent city of Zagoula.
