Cautious hunters that usually avoid combat with humans unless starving or cornered. Great cats may be playful, but are quick to anger. They remain outdoors, rarely venturing deep underground.

Giant cats with long sabre-like fangs, dangerous and aggressive predators

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.
