Mr. Manchas is one of the limousine drivers who works for Mr. Big. He's a pretty nice and laid back fellow, who takes his job very seriously. ZPD officer Judy Hopps, accompanied by Nick Wilde, visits Mr. Manchas at his home in the Rainforest District of Zootopia, where she seeks answers to some questions regarding Emmitt Otterton, who Mr. Manchas had given a limo ride just before his disappearance. While in the limousine, Mr Otterton succumbed to the effects of the night howler drug, and went violent in the passenger compartment, damaging its interior with claw marks.
During their discussion he is shot (by someone hiding out of sight) with a pellet containing the night howler drug, which turns him into a violent predator. He then chases Judy and Nick through the tangles of the Rainforest District, and onto a narrow bridge, where he very nearly kills Nick. Judy appears just in the last second to whisk Nick away, clinging to a swinging vine. The two of them then look down to find Mr. Manchas has mysteriously disappeared.

True that, I just kind of figured it was concept art. However, little
me have the good old Paint program, I'm only good with "pixel" art, so
any small details may/may not make it onto my drawings; like his
spots. |

Technically a "black panther" is simply a jaguar with a black coat.
And the drawings featured in that book are, pretty much, concept
art. Where they were figuring out the characters' individual designs
and personalities.To wit, the opening statement on the Wikipedia page (which, in spite of being on Wikipedia, is actually correct XD): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_panther |

My friend showed me a page from the "Art of Zootopia" book, and it
appeared he had spots all over his body, similar to a jaguar. Perhaps it might be just a rough draft of his design, but she also mentioned that black panthers, as a whole, do not exist, and are just a given name to panthers/jaguars with a black coat and barely visable spots. Then again, I'm probably just fussing over Manchas, he IS my favorite character after all. ^^ |
