Panthers are large feline creatures native to the Summer Isles.

Distribution

Panthers are found in the rain forests of the Summer Isles.[1] The magister, Illyrio Mopatis, has a panther in his menagerie in Pentos.[2]

History

After actions taken by Malthar Xaq and other princes of the Summer Isles began a new era of exploration and trade for their people, a fashion developed amongst the dragonlords of Valyria for panther cubs from the islands.[1]

Anatomy and physiology

The spotted panthers of the Summer Isles are larger than lions. Their movements are thought of as graceful.[2][3]

Recent events
