Yehurian Red Tiger

The Yehurian red tiger is a feared beast to those who live in or around Yehuria. Named for its dappled, deep red fur, the Yehurian red tiger stands around seven feet at the shoulders. They have somewhat squarish heads and huge jaws filled with curved teeth; their claws are hook-like, allowing them to grab onto trees and even hang from them upside-down. Male Yehurian red tigers will have white splotches at the ends of their long tails, whereas females do not.
Despite their huge size, they are notoriously stealthy and difficult to track due to their affinity for remaining in the thick-boughed trees of the rainforest. It is rare to find one on the ground unless it is young, taking care of young, or injured. Some locals refer to them as "the jungle's shadow," for their shadow is the last thing someone will see when ambushed by one.
Yehurian red tigers lead solitary lives and are generally non-confrontational when not hunting, perhaps making a few threat displays to convince the trespasser to leave and only attacking if still approached. They may have small territorial disputes with one another, particularly if one of them is defending offspring, but they generally avoid contact with one another outside of the breeding season. However, they require immense amounts of food to sustain themselves, and they also tend to catch and hide food for later, making them a perpetual risk for anyone that dares to venture into their territory.
