Description

Among the most impressive of Martian animals is the fierce steppe tiger. It is a cunning hunter and will attempt to get very close to its intended prey before making a quick charge and a kill. It can run very quickly for 10 to 15 seconds (2 to 3 turns), but its speed drops off rapidly after that, and it relies on surprise and its one quick sprint to make the kill. Its primary means of defense are its claws, which can slash even the hide of a ruumet breehr badly. For the kill, however, it relies on its massive jaws to snap the victim's neck or spine. It will not generally seek out trouble unless hungry, but it is quite territorial and will tend to attack any interlopers, particularly humans.
