Jaguar lords are horrid creatures native to the forests and swamps of Southern Maztica and Lopango, sometimes thought to be tabaxi touched by the Far Realm. They are often considered a form of parasite, lying and hypnotizing their way to the top of tabaxi tribes in order to drain the tribe of resources, even demanding blood sacrifices of its people, sometimes as part of or under the guise of offerings to Zaltec. When a jaguar lord has nearly destroyed its tribe, it will choose a tabaxi to mate with, the product of which is always a male jaguar lord. A jaguar lord's typical appearance is thought to be its attempt to blend in, appearing as its approximation of a jaguar, their faces too doglike, their fur too sleek, their muscles too large. It is only through truesight that their true form is seen: a great writhing mass of mouths and tongues, a trait often associated with the Far Realm, and one they share with ahuizotl. It is for this reason that they despise couatls, hunting them on sight; even a single creature knowing their true nature could jeopardize their position.
