A Saber-Toothed Tiger in Dungeons & Dragons is a large, prehistoric feline known for its immense strength, speed, and deadly bite. It typically appears in cold or prehistoric settings and is classified as a Beast, making it a natural predator rather than a magical creature. With a powerful frame and long, curved fangs designed for delivering devastating strikes, this creature is a formidable opponent in combat.

In terms of game mechanics, a Saber-Toothed Tiger is usually a Challenge Rating 2 creature with high Strength and Dexterity, allowing it to move quickly and hit hard. Its most notable feature is Pounce, which enables it to knock creatures prone if it moves at least 20 feet before attacking. Once an enemy is prone, the tiger gains an additional bite attack as a bonus action, making it a dangerous adversary in melee combat. It also has keen senses, granting advantage on Perception checks that rely on smell, making it an effective tracker.

As a Beast, a Saber-Toothed Tiger can be affected by spells such as Animal Friendship or Conjure Animals, making it a potential ally or summon for druids and rangers. Some druids, particularly those of the Circle of the Moon, may even be able to transform into one using Wild Shape, gaining access to its impressive abilities.

In campaigns, Saber-Toothed Tigers are often found in icy tundras, ancient valleys, or lost worlds filled with prehistoric creatures. They may serve as a dangerous challenge in the wild or as mounts for primitive tribes and frost giants. Their presence adds a sense of primal danger to any encounter, whether as a predator stalking adventurers or as a tamed companion to a powerful NPC.
