I suspected the level might be too high, since the "leopard" is shown as 11 levels higher than the "leopardess", which isn't typical of Verant's way of doing things.
I'm sorry the picture is cut off. Are those faction messages on killing a leopard? I'd like to know what faction adjustments there are, if any. There are none on leopardesses, by the way, so it would be mildly strange to have them on leopards.
No faction hits for killing these cats. The only drop I've gotten from them so far are is Leopard Skin, and I'd really like to know if it's used for anything (I'll be checking it out further).
To my Druid they start out dubious, and they don't seem to help each other out (maybe I've been lucky). Being that the Kerrans in this zone don't like Wolf Form I haven't been able to test to see if the same "warmly" effect applies with these cats... on second thought let me check before I post:
Okay, I just went from dubious to aimiable with these cats in wolf form, so they are like their cousins on Antonica. Happy hunting!
