Cougar

About

With all butchering skills acquired (Field Dressing, Butcher's Thrift, Butchery, Tanning and Venison Cuisine), butchering a single Cougar will yield:

• Raw Cougar Hide x 1
• Meat Shreds x 10
• Raw Cougar Cut x 7
• Raw Cougar Steak x 3
• Raw Cougar Slab x 1
• Brain x 1
• Bone x 3

• Random chance to get Stringy Sinew per meat cut, chance to get Cougar Claw while butchering.

• Having the skill Viscera & Bits increases the chance to get Cougar Claw and Stringy Sinew.

Note: It is important to skin the Cougar first, or the butchering will ruin the skin.

Notes

• Cougars are hard to spot because they are half-transparent;
• Cougars are aggressive, they initiate combat very fast to a player target nearby. Their first attack is similar to a Deer's charge - it stuns for ~5 seconds and inflicts Bleeding;
• It is very dangerous to fight cougars in the open, because their stun will most likely override yours. It is better to stun them while you stand behind obstacles and when they are stunned run close to them to make a more powerful attack. Then repeat.
