Onyx Panther is a special Fighter hireling - pet that players will receive if they pre-ordered the collectors edition of Menace of the Underdark. Each character receives this bonus. This hireling contract goes into hireling contract folder if a character owns one. Unlike other hireling contracts, it never expires.

Onyx Panther is a level 20 Gold Seal hireling. She can be used at level 18 and later. Note that her high level might affect quest experience.

She is treated as a Gold Seal hireling for a couple of purposes:
 * This affects Dungeon Scaling like any Gold Seal hireling (i.e., less than an extra player or regular hireling).
 * This also allows you to summon her anywhere in any dungeon - but not raids.
 * The panther acts as a party member, and takes up a party slot.

Unlike all other hirelings, multiple party members can summon their own panther.

Trivia

 * This panther is a reference to Drizzt Do'Urden's panther named Guenhwyvar which he summons from a small statue.
