Abilities:
- Keen Senses: The Cheeta mount has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight, hearing, or smell.
- Sprint: Once per long rest, as a bonus action, the Cheeta can move up to its speed without provoking opportunity attacks.
- Pounce: If the Cheeta 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 15 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the Cheeta can make one bite attack against it as a bonus action.
Actions:
- Multiattack: The Cheeta makes two attacks: one with its bite and one with its claws.
- Bite: Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) piercing damage.
- Claws: Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) slashing damage.
- Worm's Devour (Recharge 5-6): Tabby unleashes a devastating bite attack, unhinging its jaws to emulate the ferocity of a purple worm's bite. On a hit, the target must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC 15) or be swallowed by Tabby. While swallowed, the target is blinded and restrained, takes 21 (6d6) acid damage at the start of each of its turns, and the Cheeta can't use this ability again until the target is regurgitated or escapes.
- Dragon's Breath (Recharge 5-6): Tabby can unleash a powerful breath attack, mimicking the elemental damage type of a dragon he has slain. Each creature in a 30-foot cone must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 8d6 damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.
