Keen Smell. The panther has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell.
Pounce. If the panther moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a claw attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 12 Strength save or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the panther can make one bite attack against it as a bonus action.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6+2) piercing damage.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4+2) slashing damage.
How hard a fight? Against a party of four, a single panther is barely a challenge at any level. Add allies or more foes in the encounter generator.
Where you'll find it: forests and the Underdark.
