General Information:
Onyx Panther is a special Fighter hireling - pet that players will receive if they pre-ordered the collectors edition of Menace of the Underdark. Each character receives this bonus. This hireling contract goes into hireling contract folder if a character owns one. Unlike other hireling contracts, it never expires.
Onyx Panther is a level 20 Gold Seal hireling. She can be used at level 18 and later. Note that her high level might affect quest experience.
She is treated as a Gold Seal hireling for a couple of purposes:
- This affects Dungeon Scaling like any Gold Seal hireling (i.e., less than an extra player or regular hireling).
- This also allows you to summon her anywhere in any dungeon - but not raids.
- The panther acts as a party member, and takes up a party slot.
Unlike all other hirelings, multiple party members can summon their own panther.

- Claw/Bite - Piercing/Slashing
- Manslayer (vorpal vs. Humanoids, but reported to work on Cannith WF and Sands Hyenas too, possible bug), Improved Destruction, Tendon Slice 10%, Aligned, Metalline, Crystal, All regular Bane types

The Onyx Panther (or Battle Cat, as we like to call it) has, among other effects, Manslayer (vorpal vs. Humanoids), Improved Destruction, and Tendon Slice 10%. Because, really, how could we make a giant panther and not give it Manslayer? It was too awesome an opportunity to pass up. |

Trivia
- This panther is a reference to Drizzt Do'Urden's panther named Guenhwyvar which he summons from a small statue.
