A '''saber-toothed tiger''', {{yellow|f}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[Hack'EM]]. The saber-toothed tiger is a [[huge]], [[carnivorous]] and [[thick-skinned]] [[feline]] [[animal]] that has [[infravision]] and can be seen via infravision, and is a slightly stronger version of [[Saber-toothed tiger (EvilHack)|its appearance in EvilHack]]. [[Caveman/Hack'EM|Cavepeople]] are the only [[role]] of [[hero]] that can [[throw]] [[food]] at saber-toothed tigers to [[tame]] them, and are also the only role that can [[apply]] [[barding]] and [[saddle]]s to a saber-toothed tiger and [[ride]] them as a steed.

A saber-toothed tiger has two [[claw attack]]s and a [[bite attack]], with the second claw attack being a bit stronger, and may go [[Berserk (EvilHack)|berserk]] when its [[HP]] is low enough. Saber-toothed tigers possess [[cold resistance]].

==Generation==
Randomly generated saber-toothed tigers are always hostile. A [[Saber-toothed cat (Hack'EM)|saber-toothed cat]] can [[grow up]] into a saber-toothed tiger.

==Origin==
{{Wikipedia|Saber-toothed cat}}
''Machairodontinae'' is an extinct subfamily of carnivorous mammals within the family Felidae (also known as "true cats"), and contains many of the extinct predators commonly known as "saber-toothed cats", including the famed genus ''[[wikipedia:Smilodon|Smilodon]]''. These saber-toothed cats are the best-known genera of [[wikipedia:Saber-toothed predators|saber-toothed predators]] and were found across most of the world, living from about 16 million until about 11,000 years ago. The species is named for their massive canine teeth: ''Machairodontinae'' means "dagger-tooth" and is derived from the Greek μάχαιρα (machaira, "sword").

Previously, some species of saber-toothed cats were called "saber-toothed tigers", though machairodonts are not closely related to any living feline species; DNA analysis published in 2005 confirmed and clarified that the Machairodontinae diverged early from the ancestors of modern cats in their evolution.

==Encyclopedia entry==
{{encyclopedia|
The saber-toothed tiger, a common term for a member of the genus Smilodon, is perhaps the most well-known of the saber-toothed cats. Notable for the long, dagger-like fangs from which the name of the genus is derived, these apex predators stalked mammoths, bison, and other large herbivores across the plains of prehistoric North America.
