The '''sabre-toothed cat''' is a monster added in [[SLASH'EM]]. Given that they only move at speed 12, they're not normally a threat to a careful player who is unburdened or [[fast]]. However, they are significantly tougher than other [[feline]]s you are likely to encounter, doing twice the damage of a [[tiger]] and having twice the hit points. A player who is not sufficiently prepared to engage one in melee may end up facing a [[YASD]] before he knows what is going on.

A sabre-toothed cat is a type of monster that appears in SLASH'EM.

Strategy

Given that they only move at speed 12, they're not normally a threat to a careful player who is unburdened or fast. However, they are significantly tougher than other felines you are likely to encounter, doing twice the damage of a tiger and having twice the hit points. A player who is not sufficiently prepared to engage one in melee may end up facing a YASD before they know what hit them.

Origin

Sabre-toothed cats are prehistoric felines with huge canine teeth. Some species of sabre-toothed cats are erroneously called "sabre-toothed tigers".
