![]() Salvatore often describes "it" with very feminine descriptions. In the earlier stories the panther was normally referred to with the pronoun "it," but R. There is some debate as to the gender of Guenhwyvar. ![]() Guenhwyvar is "ten feet long, at least, with muscled shoulders as high as a tall man's chest." Guenwhyvar is roughly 600 pounds (twice the weight of a normal panther), and is as smart as any person. Spending a sufficient amount of time there regenerates the cat completely and it can be called forth again. If the panther is seriously injured or even if it suffers injuries that should be fatal while on the Prime Material Plane, the panther transports back to the Astral plane. It is possible for Guenhwyvar to stay longer than the limit, or to be summoned back sooner than usual, but it is extremely draining for the panther. Simply spending time on the Prime Material Plane slowly drains the panther's strength. The panther can be summoned forth from the Astral plane up to 12 hours out of every 48 hours. Guenhwyvar's relationship to Drizzt is unique. The panther accepts him as a master, but loves him as a friend. Because of Catti-brie's quick thinking, Guenhwyvar was saved, and once the time of troubles passed things were restored to normal. During the Siege of Darkness, Guenhwyvar was nearly destroyed entirely because of the Time of Troubles, in which magic all across Faerûn was in complete chaos. Even though some of Drizzt's companions (especially Wulfgar and Bruenor) were at first suspicious of the panther, it later became an important "team" member. Guenhwyvar has saved Drizzt's life more than once in their common history. In this time they became even closer than before, and they share a deep empathy with each other. ![]() In his time after leaving Menzoberranzan, Drizzt took to summoning Guenhwyvar as often as possible, to help combat the extreme loneliness that Drizzt faced. Drizzt then took the figurine from the ground (where Masoj had left it) because he could not bear to see Guenhwyvar used to do evil while observing Guenhwyvar forced to hunt down deep gnomes, Drizzt perceived emotional damage being done to a creature he admired and viewed as noble. The onyx figurine, referred to in Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 Edition rules as a "Figurine of Wondrous Powers," was originally owned by Josidiah Starym of Myth Drannor, and has also been possessed by the drow mage Masoj of House Hun'ett, whom Drizzt Do'Urden killed in battle. Guenhwyvar was created by the ranger-wizard Anders Beltgarden.
