Smilodons or sabre-toothed tigers are dangerous and aggressive. These giant cats are generally found in "lost world" type areas with dinosaurs and cave men, but they are sometimes encountered in more standard settings as well. Sabre-tooth tigers conform to their smaller cousins in most respects, including the rear leg bonus attacks (2×2d4 points of damage). Smilodon fangs are long and sharp, backed by powerful jaw muscles; these factors combine to give the sabre-tooth a +2 "to hit" probability for its bite attack.
Special Abilities
Climbing — Can climb trees as easily as walking on the ground.
Leap — Leap 40-ft to attack from hiding.
Move Silently — Move silently at quarter speed in natural settings.
Spring — Spring upwards 10-ft.
Rear Claw Attack — If both claw attacks are successful the smilodon has grabbed its victim and gains two additional attacks at +4 "to hit" from its powerful rear legs for 2d4 points of damage each.
Powerful Bite — Smilodon fangs are long and sharp, backed by powerful jaw muscles; these factors combine to give the sabre-tooth a +2 "to hit" probability for its bite attack.
