The Sinister Cougar

Inspired by Flubb2, Concept and Written by James Woodwright

The myth of the sinister cougar is of a cougar that only operates in Blackridge. Its purpose is to lure wrongdoers outside of Blackridge by making a sound of a child screaming in terror, only the person who has commited the wrong deed will hear this and attempt to come to the child's rescue upon coming the sound location the cougar will come out. At which point it will order the person or people to hold out a hand. The Cougar them smells the hands of the people if the cougar smells something that means that the person is the wrongdoer then they are eatten by the cat. Those who were forced into the deed are let go. All deeds that are wrong are punished by the cougar.
Many attempts have been made to find the cougar but all attempts have failed only finding non verbal versions of the cat.
