A kamadan (pronounced: /ˈkæmɑːdɑːn/ KÆM-a-dan[5][1]) was a leopard-like creature from the jungles of Chult.[1]
Description
Kamadans were otherwise identical to leopards, except for the additional six snake bodies protruding from their shoulders.[1]
Combat
The typical strategy of a hunting kamadan was to use its sleeping gas breath weapon to knock its prey unconscious before moving for the kill. The snakes also possessed a powerful poison with their bites.[1]
Ecology
Kamadans hunted either alone or in mated pairs.[1]
Some sages claimed that kamadans were related to displacer beasts,[4] although most recognized that the similarities between them were coincidental and the creatures were unrelated.[1] Kamadans were also known to despise displacer beasts and to attack them on sight.[2]
A close relative of the kamadan was the kamatlan, a similar creature that was native to Maztica.[3]
Notable kamadans
Shagambi, one of the Nine Trickster Gods of Chult, was a wise and virtuous kamadan.[6]
