Characteristics
Caper tigers are humongous half-man, half-beasts that appear to be wearing the pelts of tigers over their bodies as a beastly disguise, designed to scare off all but the bravest of adversaries. They have painted red, demonic-looking faces with mouths filled with sheer sharpened fangs for sinking into attackers. The tigers attack with their sharp slashing claws and they've learned how to belch fire in order to flambe foes. They've also learnt a little magic; just enough to cast Heal to cure their unlickable wounds.
