1. I looked it up, and according to National Geographic, any big cat can be born with melanism (the condition that causes them to unnaturally have black fur), which makes them a panther. It just happens to be far more common in leopards and jaguars, which is why people think that only those two can be panthers. However, the man who was interviewed states that he doesn't know of any cases of lions or tigers having melanism. So, there are no known cases of lions and tigers being panthers, but at the same time, leopards and jaguars are not the only ones that can be panthers.

2. Nyan Cat has a poptart body, not a muffin body. =P

3. While there is no established rule that they have to be the same as their allusion, we do have the fact that there are Faunus characters who share traits with their allusion.


 * Adam - Alludes to the Beast, who is depicted as having horns. Adam has horns.
 * Sun - Alludes to Sun Wukong, who is a monkey. RWBY's Sun is a monkey Faunus with a monkey tail.
 * Velvet - Alludes to the stuffed rabbit in The Velvetine Rabbit. She has rabbit ears.
 * Neon - Alludes to Nyan Cat, which is a cat, albeit one with a poptart body. Neon is a cat Faunus with a cat tail.
 * Sienna - Seems to allude to Shere Khan, who is a tiger. She had tiger ears.
