Smilodon populator These deadly predators are found in varying shades of brown and gold. Called sakkars by the Pelorians, they are sacred to several Death cults. Their numbers have declined steadily since the Dawn, but they still can be found in wilder areas. Though it can do terrific damage, the great cat cannot outrun game. Its short legs are unable to attain the speeds necessary to chase down a foe. Saber-tooths normally lie patiently downwind of a watering hole or trail until potential prey comes by. The cat then springs, stabbing the victim and digging in with its massive claws. Few creatures can long survive such an attack. The cat rarely bothers with men, but if attacked or hungry, they will tear into hunters or adventurers with gusto. They normally feed on bison, high llamas, rhinos, and sometimes young brontosaurs.
