Khan the Jaguar

 is a rare animal spawn in Red Dead Redemption. She is found after killing waves of cougars in multiplayer, and during the Master Hunter Rank 9 ambient challenge in Single Player. The location of Khan can vary from singleplayer to multiplayer. he is the only Jaguar found in the game, and shares all the same in-game mechanics such as movement, attack and growl as a cougar, but is a lot stronger, much faster and can kill your horse with one attack. A Buffalo Rifle shot to her head is still fatal. Oddly enough, though Khan is very much like the cougars he will not drop a claw when skinned.

Singleplayer
In single player, Khan is located near Ojo del Diablo. She comes out more commonly during the day. Walking around the Ojo del Diablo region activates the spawn of Khan. If she does not appear, it is advised to shoot a few animals to attract her. If Khan still does not show up, bait also works on some occasions. One shot to the head with a Bolt Action Rifle will kill her, as will a shot with a Buffalo Rifle.You must be a level 8 master hunter to be able to encounter it. A message with flashing blip appears when he is located. You may need to be on foot for her to spawn.

Multiplayer
Khan can be found at Tanner's Reach in Tall Trees, a subsection of West Elizabeth. Khan appears after killing waves of cougars that spawn. She is represented by a red skull on the mini map.

Tips & Tricks

 * The best way to take down Khan is repeated shots to the head, or a single Buffalo Rifle headshot (Dead Eye recommended)
 * A good place to search for her in multiplayer is at Tanner's Reach near the cabin. The cabin is also a great defensive position against the cougars, by shooting out of the door and windows. The cougars cannot attack when inside this building, however they can hit through the window sometimes if standing too close.
 * Another tactic for safely hunting at Tanner's Reach is to jump onto one of the rocky outcrops around the area, as cougars cannot jump onto the larger rocks to attack, although they can still attack from behind you. Once on the rocky outcrop, be on the lookout for bears, they both can spawn in the area and knock you off of the outcrop.
 * The Evans Repeater is great for this, because it has large clip capacities. Seeing as there are a lot of cougars that spawn at Tanner's Reach on multiplayer, it is wise to use a weapon that has plenty of rounds to share.
 * In multiplayer, there are about 9-12 cougars that come before Khan does, and when Khan does finally show up there are about 3 cougars accompanying her.
 * Throwing Knives and a Tomahawk can kill a cougar in one hit.
 * A good trick would be to pour some Bait, then jump on the mini cliff to the left of the stone bridge. Khan would come from the bridge side. Just dead eye with a good gun like the Buffalo Rifle, or a gun with a lot of ammo like Evans Repeater. When seeing her, make sure to aim for her head.
 * Also, if you crouch down outside of the cabin, they don't seem to kill you. Though if you shoot them while crouching they will turn against you.
 * The best place to sell Khan's body parts is Blackwater or Manzita Post. ($96 for Khan's meat, $72 for Khan's Pelt, $126 for Khan's fang, and $108 for Khan's heart).
 * Wearing the Expert Hunter outfit will allow you to gather twice as much material from Khan.
 * While wearing the Expert Hunter outfit you still gather two pelts and two fangs.

Glitch

 * When Hunting Khan in Multiplayer, there is a chance that he will not attack the player. If there is more than one player hunting him, he will only attack the player that came to Tall Trees last.

Trivia

 * Khan the Jaguar could well be a reference to the tiger Shere Khan in the Jungle Book stories.
 * Khan is Mongolian for "King".
