MadCoils are the result of ancient magicks gone awry ... festering in a pool of bad magic, that trapped a leopard and snake intent on killing each other, now that hatred is focused on all the living sentients that might have caused that foul pool to exist in the first place.
Telepathy (Su): MadCoils can communicate telepathically with any creature within 100’ that has language ... they never communicate with food or prey.
Attk/Def Modes (Sp): Psychic Crush, Ego Whip/Mental Barrier, Empty Mind. They can use these powers at will.
Psionics (Sp): at will: Daze, Chameleon (+10 hide, 60 min). UltraBlast (13d4, Will for ½).
Psionic save DC's are d20 +1/2HD +cha mod (so +4)
[edit: forgot to add in skill points, done. ... don't know why I did the poison stinger like that ... just to be a bit different?]
Krishnath said:Then I suggest you make it a Dire Snake/Tiger Hybrid advanced to 16 HD, the add the Psionic Template (from the PsiHB)
Thus giving it access to all attack/defense modes, and no less than 13 psionic powers of choice.

First Post
You really should get them, Masters of the Wild™ has some damn good prestige classes, such as the Geomancer (which incidently rocks!), and some very good spells, including a druid meteor swarm. MM2 on the other hand has lots of good creatures, including but not limited to Gem Dragons, Linnorms, the Hellfire Wyrm, More Dinosaurs, Elemental Wierds, the Deathbringer, a Death Knight template, a Chimeric Template, a Monster of Legend template, a Tauric Template, Neogi, The Nightmare Beast, the Phoenix, More Planetouched, Bladelings, More demons, More devils, more celestials, and a CR 28 creature that is just plain nasty (no I won't tell you what it is, but it can summon a vrock once per round and send your PC's on a one way trip to the abyss 
).
Nice Dire Jaguar by the way, mind if I ask you what creature you based it on?

You might want to not use the Raven.
Ravens don't fly at night. If the Panther/Raven is supposed to be a stealth steed (It's black, they fly at night, etc), then use an Owl. Owls are nocturnal, and silent as anything.
You can still have black, maybe some tickings of white, like the stars. You could call it a Prowl (Hee!).
I had a mage in my campaign who ran a Corporation type thing; constructing and breeding monsters for pets, guardians and mounts.
He also made a Cougar/Hawk.

Dark Wing!!! ... Duck!
I'm nor really concerned about them flying at night, it's the black color I'm going for and the silky black look of a raven and panther.
*wolf is thinking of the hoards of crows that used to gather near one of the shopping centers when he was a kid. They sounded horrible, and on an overcast day they looked down right scary. Of course I loved it when my sister was around ... ever see "The Birds"? ... my brother and I would terrorize my sister by telling her that they would come after her [evil grin]*
Dark Wing
Medium Beast [Krishnath’s dire raven + leopard hybrid]
HD: 3d10+6 (23hp)
Init: +4 (dex)
Speed: 30’, fly 60’ (avg)
AC: 15 (+4 dex, +1 nat)
Attacks: 2 claws +4, bite -1
Damage: claw 1d6+2, bite 1d6+1
Face/Reach: 5x5/5
Spec Attk: Blinding Strike, Pounce, Rake 1d3+2
Spec Qual: Scent, Dire Resistance
Saves: Fort +5, Ref +7, Will +2
Abilities: Str 14 (+2), Dex 18 (+4), Con 14 (+2), Int 5, Wis 12 (+1), Cha 10
Skills: Listen +7, Spot +7, Hide +8, Move Silent +8

CR: 2
Treasure:
Alignment: always neutral
Adv: 4-5 (medium), 6-9 (large)
(yes the stats are modified a bit, a 10 str flying creature wouldn’t cut it ... it’s gotta be able to carry a small sized humanoid). Dark Wings resemble medium sized griffons or hippogriffs, the exception being that they are jet black and their fore-quarters are that of a dire raven and their hind-quarters are of a black panther.
Skills: Dark Wings gain a +4 to both hide and move silent.
Blinding Strike (Ex): A Dark Wing that scores a critical hit with it's bite attack permanently blinds their opponents. For the effects of blindness, see the DMG page 83. Wearing a helmet automatically protects against this attack.
Disease Resistance (Ex): A Dark Wing gets a +4 racial bonus on saves against diseases.
[edit: check the previous posts, I edited some to put in monsters instead of making a longer and longer thread]
