This terrifying monster luckily haunts less-civilized areas, where people are unlikely to trouble it. It quickly rises to the top of any food chain excluding full-blown dragons, as its speed and ferocity overwhelm most prey.
These beasts harbour a truly dangerous intelligence, able to flush their prey into ambushes (although they usually lack the ability to make traps). They have even been known to lure prey into the lairs of other enemies to set them against each other. However, they are also incredibly dangerous in combat. They have three times the Hit Dice of ‘normal’ tigers, and are able to make six claw attacks on a full-round attack. For each two of these that hit, they can make an additional bonus attack. They can also bit for skull-crushing damage, with enough strength to shear a horse in two. No-one knows, or really wants to know, where these fierce creatures spawned from. They are stuck with the unfortunate reality of an eighteen-limbed predator smart enough to outwit most hunters, and dangerous enough to cause villages to be abandoned.
