Dire tigers were a monstrous variety of the mundane species of Feline known as tigers.[1]
Description[]
Dire tigers were giant cats with a pair of huge 6 in (15 cm) fangs jutting from their powerful jaws.[1] They grew to be over 12 ft (3.7 m) long and could weigh up to 6,000 lb (2,700 kg).[2]
Combat[]
Dire tigers preyed on just about anything that moved, patiently stalking a potential meal, and striking whenever the creature let down its guard. A dire tiger attacked by running at prey, leaping, and clawing and biting as it raked with its rear claws.[2]
