Easterling attacked by a Forest-Tiger
The most dreaded predator of the northern taiga, the Forest Tiger (S. "Arrhaw", Lu. "K'arav") could reach 2 m in length, excluding the long tail. It preyed on large game, mainly deer, reindeer, elks, or even bisons, but even Elves or Men were suitable food. The warm and furry tiger hide was the most prized in all the far North, valued up to 2 Silverpieces, or more, each. Forest Tigers lived mainly in Aeareryn and the Great Forest; the wardens hunted them or drove them out, as the predators were a danger for everyone.
