Uh oh, somebody's not dead yet! And Meela's shoe must really stink.
This concludes chapter 8! Next week is a 2 page update, so come back Thursday night for Chapter 9's splash page and Friday morning for page 214!
I he’s more of a melanistic Tiger, going by his tail, legs and ears ;D

Good point. But, Jaguars has those markings too, so he may be a Jaguar?
Sonixaly
its a melanistic tiger, jaguars have spots.
though u are tecnically right lare cats with the melanistic traits are called panthers by most people.
iwaterbear
no it’s a jaguar, tigers are are bigger and have thick fur.
Anon Y. Mouse
Plus the face looks nothing like a tiger… but I’m betting on it being some kind of leopard/tiger mix. It’s a fantasy world, it can do what it wants lol.
Shiva! Lolz, didn’t think of that! But of course, I know who he is! Shiva’s nicer though….
Sonixaly
its a melanistic tiger. and also a panther.
a panther is a large cat that has the melanistic trait.
Willow the Clever
Alvara’s right; panthers are jaguars. My little brother did this huge ginormo report on jaguars for school one time.
Willow the Clever
What the heck does melanistic mean, anyway?
Kayota
To put it simply, they have an excess of black.
noerartnoe
A Panther is simply a member of the Panthera genus – hence why melanistic jaugars/leopards are called ‘Black Panthers’. And there is no scientific evidence of (truly) melanistic cougars. Reports; yes – authenticated evidence – not so much.
@Willow: melanism == the polar opposite of albinism. Someone/something with melanism has an excess of melanin(a dark pigment) in their skin.
As for what he actually is; this is a fantasy setting, as others have mentioned – he’s a large, black, feline with some striping. Does it really matter beyond that?
Well, it doesn’t really matter what he is, anyway, since he is in a different world. So in a different world, the creatures would be different. I’d say, just by looks, (and this includes body structure) that he is probably more of a tiger-like thing, both with the stripes, and the brawn.

panther means big black cat that has markings…
tiger
couger
jaguar
leapoard
etc…
sorry i tried to reply to you up there but it wouldnt let you.
and it depends on where you come from. i look up shit like that for no reason at all :]
a panther meaning only jaguar is ussually refered in in South and Central America. In Africa and Asia its a leopard. in North America its a cougar or mountain lion, and Black Panther is a black variant of leopard, jaguar, tiger or cougar

Melanistic = Pretty much the opposite of being albino. Instead of not enough pigment it’s got too much.
LOLZ!! you people are funny. That’s awesome…. He did kind of look like a monkey but he had wiskers that gave it away for me…. not to mention he didn’t like “lost little dogs.”
I work as an orthodontic assistant and because we work in patient’s mouths we have to refer our left to their right and our right to their left. It can get a bit confusing at times but you get used to it.
The body can only handle so much forced healing with magic, and some wounds can’t be healed with magic at all. For example, Meela’s wound from the poisoned dagger couldn’t be healed with magic, so she will have a scar.
… D8 Everyone is celebrating over his appearance with no thought that OH SNAP HE IS GOING TO TRY AND KILL MEELA. WHEN SHE ALREADY HAS BOUNTY HUNTERS AFTER HER.
Meeelaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, watch ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut… ;; Don’t let the kitty eat you, you’re tougher than that!
Meela-chan better hurry up and get better, or she’s gonna be kitty kibble! D: …Unless, of course, Holland and Feral save her again. Who knows, maybe Piper will lend a hand/paw, too?
Poor Meela. Holland and Feral better get back in time to help Piper fight that guy off!
I love his animal form though. When lookng back to find when her shoe fell off I noticed the HUGE hint that was given about his form though. The way he held his poisoned knives was like claws, very catlike.
He had a tail and whiskers too…. that was my hint, though I did notice the claw-like daggers too….
I had a feeling he would come back, because people who make it on the covers of volume pages tend to be important….
lol I didn’t think about the splash cover part. And with people saying monkey I didn’t mention the tail, because it could have been translated wrong to some people but I did miss the whiskers again. I do know I thought cat when I saw him the first time though.

his face if you look does also resemble a lions
Alvara101
OMW!!! It’s Shiva!! Ok you people wouldn’t under stand… He’s a carrie from a RPG i’m in who happens to be a big black kitty like that.
Panther is a black jaguar, it could also mean black couger, or black leopard.

YES! I wish it was Next week now XD
Azirigel
O.o Whoa, did NOT see this guy returning, let alone seeing his animal form, which I like. Wonder what will become of this guy…
Silversong
Woah! It seems Feral’s job isn’t done yet…
Chelsea.S
lol everyone figured something bad was going to happen because that shoe was left behind

Me neither.

Zinc
Well, that’s certainly a change of pace. Here I was hoping to see Holland and Feral.
Back into danger we go!
Frost
for some reason I thought that this guy was a monkey O.o
Mari
i did too o_o
arielleassault
me too o.O
Forbiddendestiny
ME THREE! O_o Maybe he’s very monkey-esk. :P
Alvara101
LOLZ!! you people are funny. That’s awesome…. He did kind of look like a monkey but he had wiskers that gave it away for me…. not to mention he didn’t like “lost little dogs.”
Forbiddendestiny
Oh snap! I just read back, he doesn’t like little dogs! And he does have whiskers! WELL PLAYED SIR! WELL PLAYED! :)
Ashen
That’s okay, mate. I thought he was a bird, so when first I saw this page I was like, “WHO THE HELL IS THAT?!” ^^;
Willow the Clever
Ditto. ^-^”
Kayota
But he had a tail and whiskers…? Birds don’t have panther tails and whiskers…
raptorly
i agree with Ashen, i made the same mistake, so at first i had no idea who was this big kitty :p

@Forbiddendestiny
I’m a lady…. lol but you can call me that anyway…

Toxickitten
He’s purdy <3 But where is his stab wound from Meela's knife? O_o Isn't it supposed to be in his left leg?
RoanHusky
We only see his right side right now, so we cannot see it anyway.
Lin
I thought he got stabbed on his right leg?
Toxickitten
Yeah, I meant right. At my job we flip left and right and I confuse people outside of work all the time because it’s a habit to flip them.
Willow the Clever
That sounds interesting. What’s your job?
Toxickitten
I work as an orthodontic assistant and because we work in patient’s mouths we have to refer our left to their right and our right to their left. It can get a bit confusing at times but you get used to it.
Celesse
His leg wound was healed with magic, much like Feral’s shoulder wound from the gunshot in a previous chapter.
NorwegianGirl
But how come Feral has all those scars, then? Does it leave a scar even if it’s healed with magic?
Celesse
The body can only handle so much forced healing with magic, and some wounds can’t be healed with magic at all. For example, Meela’s wound from the poisoned dagger couldn’t be healed with magic, so she will have a scar.
rallyjr
think he enjoys the thrill of the hunt?
Willow the Clever
I think he’s mad.
Willow the Clever
As in angry.
Willow the Clever
Not crazy.
Dotcom
Oooo! A black tiger!
iwaterbear
panther. black panther.
Dotcom
No contest. This guy would have everyone for lunch in his animal form!
Kit
… D8 Everyone is celebrating over his appearance with no thought that OH SNAP HE IS GOING TO TRY AND KILL MEELA. WHEN SHE ALREADY HAS BOUNTY HUNTERS AFTER HER.
Meeelaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, watch ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut… ;; Don’t let the kitty eat you, you’re tougher than that!
Scarlen
Meela-chan better hurry up and get better, or she’s gonna be kitty kibble! D: …Unless, of course, Holland and Feral save her again. Who knows, maybe Piper will lend a hand/paw, too?
Willow the Clever
For Holland maybe. ;)
MarkHalo
Hey, now that’s not funny!!!! I espected to see Feral!!
Jaime
so thats what he was!
BarkingSpiders
Am I the only one that went back a few pages to find when the shoe fell off? XD
Ah! I’m excited for next week! I anticipate a big showdown between him and Feral soon. I’m scared.
songstress
I did it too. I should have paid morea attention to when they fell out of the tree the first time. Poor Meela.
heilix
I totally missed the shoe.
I was wondering whose shoe that was.
but where i the only one to go back to see who that jaguar was???
Scarlen
Lol, I’m sure you weren’t. But I think most of us remembered the guard from the party/ball thingey.
Willow the Clever
I read the comments to find out who he was.
songstress
Poor Meela. Holland and Feral better get back in time to help Piper fight that guy off!
I love his animal form though. When lookng back to find when her shoe fell off I noticed the HUGE hint that was given about his form though. The way he held his poisoned knives was like claws, very catlike.
