Head on to Fortnite to pay tribute to the statue that represents the protector of Wakanda, the Almighty Black Panther, reincarnated by Chadwick Boseman in a series of roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Journey to the West Misty Meadows, a bright orange circle as see on the mini-map, and the statue would not be hard to spot from there. The Panther's Prowl projects a massive black figure with glimmering purple highlights around the animal and is situated atop a suspended piece of rock. The rock and statue are indestructible and is perceived by gamers to be made-up of the fictional alien element, Vibranium.
