Mountain Lion
Level 4 Wildlife · Mountain Foothills
Mountain Lion is one of the wildlife threats a player meets in Desperados Destiny, sitting at level 4.
Field notes
A mountain lion following the trails upward in search of deer and elk. Silent and patient, it prefers to ambush from above.
What you are walking into
Mountain Lion is level 4, carries 45 health, and is classed Vulture. That makes it an early-game threat, reachable in your first sessions. It fights straightforwardly, which makes it a clean read on whether your current build actually works. Every exchange resolves through the Destiny Deck: you draw five cards, choose what to hold, and the resulting poker hand decides how the action lands. Suit matches amplify the result, so the same fight against Mountain Lion plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Mountain Lion
Mountain Lion is encountered at Mountain Foothills. You will need to have discovered and travelled to that location before it can appear as a target, and travel between regions carries its own risks — routes are rolled for interception, and a bad roll puts an encounter between you and your destination. The full entry for Mountain Foothills covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 80 experience and between $3 and $6. Its loot table can yield Exotic Hide and Lion Claws. Drops are rolled per kill, so a full set takes repeat hunting. The first time you kill any species it is also recorded in your Field Guide, which pays a large one-off experience bonus and counts toward the Guide's completion milestones.
