In modern rural Mexico, nagual is sometimes synonymous with brujo ("witch"): one who is able to shapeshift into an animal at night, (normally into an owl, bat, or turkey) drink blood from human victims, steal property, cause disease, and the like. Secondly, the Mystaran Monstrous Compendium version of the Werejaguar has a relevant bit of flavour text: Some rain forest tribes fear werejaguars, revering them as minions of evil Immortals. Rumors tell of savage werejaguars able to cast clerical spells; these cats, witch doctors in hidden villages, devour victims in service to their Immortals. Finally, I thought the Monstrous Compendium Annual Volume One version of the Werejaguar was a reprint of the Mystaran version, but upon reading that Compendium it turns out to be different. It's pretty similar but has "Hit only by obsidian weapons, or by +1 or better weapons" unlike the Mystaran werejaguar, which uses the Lycanthropic standard of "Hit only by silver or +1 or better weapons".Remember I suggested changing the DR to obsidian? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
