Pantha

Origin

Her name was once Sekhmet, she was high priestess to Ra and was worshiped as minor deity. Ra had given her ability to change into panther. When famine and drought wrecked the land, she killed lots of people: women, men and children alike. She told herself that it was in the name of Ra, but bloodlust got a hold of her and she even killed and devoured her own son. Then Ra condemned her to walk the world forever, never to know home or peace.
