| —In-game description | ||
The White Jaguar is an exclusive Jaguar of the Circle of Ossus featured in the campaign of Age of Empires III.
Overview[]
The White Jaguar has the appearance of a leucistic Jaguar, using the same model as the common Jaguar but with white hair between the spots instead of golden. In this it is reminiscent of the White Tiger and Snow Leopard introduced in The Asian Dynasties, but unlike them, it is not present as a Treasure guardian (outside of the campaign) or a Home City Card shipment. Unlike its equivalent, it does not have the pet tag. The White Jaguar is accessible in the Scenario Editor under the Units category, as "SPC White Jaguar".
Campaign appearances[]
The White Jaguar appears to be a symbol of choice of the Circle of Ossus, although it is never elaborated on (not unlike most aspects of the Circle). Through the campaign, White Jaguars have recurring appearances as hints or confirmation of the Circle's involvement as enemies of the Black family. For example, two White Jaguars are painted on the stone library found by the Knights of St. John in the caves of Malta. Later on, a White Jaguar stalks Morgan Black's party when he arrives in the New World, and kills one of his Highlanders before being shot. Before the final scenario, Sahin The Falcon points at the "white animals" in the Circle's camp near the Moon Lake as evidence that Alain Magnan is an ally of the Circle.
The Circle of Ossus can train White Jaguars in scenarios where the player must defeat them, such as The Fountain of Youth? and Last Stand of the Boneguard.
