Traits

Keen Smell. The tiger has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell.

Pounce. If the tiger moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a claw attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 14 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the tiger can make one bite attack against it as a bonus action.

Running Leap. With a 10-foot running start, the lion can long jump up to 25 feet.

Spell Turning. The tiger has advantage on saving throws against any spell that targets only the lion (not an area). If the tiger's saving throw succeeds and the spell is of 4th level or lower, the spell has no effect on the tiger and instead targets the caster.

Actions

Multiattack. The tiger makes two attacks: one with its bite and one with its claw.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) piercing damage.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) slashing damage.

Legendary Actions

The tiger can take 2 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature’s turn. The tiger regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Claw. The tiger makes one claw attack.

Roar (Costs 2 Actions). The tiger emits a magical roar. Each creature within 60 feet of the lion that can hear the roar must succeed on a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of the tiger until the end of the lion’s next turn.

Description

The creature referred to in Northlander lore as the Hunter of Men is a sure-footed predator that can be found anywhere except the deep forest, preferring to patrol ledges and cliffs in the mountains.

Crag cats blend in with their surroundings. In the frigid north, their fur turns white to blend in with the snow. While in the southern regions, Crag Tigers have also been scene with red fur to match the arid mesas where they hunt.

The crag tiger knows its territory and often attacks when its prey is asleep, exhausted, or otherwise weakened. With it's pronounced lower canines and powerful jaws, they kill their prey with ruthless crushing force.
