Sabretooth

A powerful ambush predator with oversized fangs and savage combos.

A muscular feline predator with a coat of mottled grey and white, built low to the ground and coiled with explosive power. The sabretooth's most distinctive features are the twin fangs that curve down from its upper jaw like curved daggers — each one as long as a man's forearm and sharp enough to pierce chainmail. It hunts alone, preferring the shadows of frozen caves and snow-covered boulders where its coloring renders it nearly invisible. The sabretooth does not chase — it waits, utterly still, until the prey is within lunging distance. Then it strikes with a ferocity that leaves little time for screaming.
