Description

"A cross between a dragon and a cougar, this drafylis (type of dragon that has feline characteristics) roams the Great Lakes of Canada and the United States and the surrounding regions of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. The Water Panther is described as have the head and paws of a mountain lion, and a furry underside, but is mostly covered in scales; it has a long, prehensile tail made of copper (males only), a sharp, saw-toothed spine formed of upright scales, and horns like a White-Tailed Deer. The creature makes growls and hissing sounds, some of which emulate the roar of rushing rapids or thunderstorms. Depending on the size of the waters they reside in, the drafylis can grow to be anywhere between 7-15 feet long and 2-4.5 feet tall; on land they can move 20-30 mph, but in the waters they can swim 40-60 mph. Though all Msi-Pissi share many similarities, they vary from region to region. The species found in West Virginia has reddish-brown fur, speckled gray, yellow, and dark brown scales, black eyes, and rich, red spines, fins. The creatures have an acute sense of smell, excellent night vision, though poor hearing.
A dangerous animal, Water Panthers are known to drown men and women that cross their domains. They prefer to live in deep water, but have been known to exist in shallow causeways. At the bottoms of these watery habitats, Msi-Pissi call storms, roughen the waters, mate, raise young, and grow copper." - the West Virginia Bestiary, "In the Land of Cattawampus"

Saw something like this in a Werewolf: the Apocalypse adventure once before. that thing was a sort-of benevolent water spirit, at least where the garou were concerned. It looks like a cousin of Uktena in some form.
