patiently stalk a potential meal, striking whenever the creature
lets down its guard.
Dire tigers grow to be over 12 feet long and can weigh up to
6,000 pounds.
Combat
A dire tiger attacks by running at prey, leaping, and clawing and
biting as it rakes with its rear claws.

with its bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free

including two rake attacks.
