The Tiger is Always Right: Tigers in D&D

Tigers aren't malicious when they attack trespassers - they're right. Their territory spans hundreds of miles, and they've been studying your patterns since you entered. This entry explores tigers as territorial hazards that stalk weakened parties through disease-ridden jungles, villages that have co-evolved with tigers through generations of tribute (complete with festivals to name each new cat), and symbolic uses from generals' insignia to monks' secret techniques to Bards who might actually be Rakshasa in disguise. Your players have magic swords and spells, but nature doesn't care. Two eyes gleaming in darkness, one low growl - whose world is this, really?
