Tiger 🐅

Marshmallow Peaks — Noble, Quiet, Protective

A tiger's silence speaks louder than most creatures' battle cries.

Home Region

Marshmallow Peaks

Personality

Siberian tigers stalk the snowy ridges with grace and deliberate quiet. They rarely speak, but their silent presence inspires courage in everyone nearby. Tigers believe that protection is its own language — one that doesn't require words. When danger arrives, their howls can shatter darkness itself.

Gameplay Style

Tank and melee guardian. Might +2 translates directly to powerful DP-breaking strikes through Snowborn Might, while Swift +1 keeps tigers surprisingly quick on the battlefield. Silent Paws enables unexpected ambushes, and Frost Howl creates area DP removal for clearing corruption around them.

Animal Abilities

Snowborn Might

Might +2 is applied directly to DP-breaking rolls. When a tiger strikes a corrupted creature, their mountain-honed strength tears through the dark scales more effectively than most.

Silent Paws

Advantage on stealth checks on soft terrain — snow, grass, sand, carpet, moss. A tiger moves as if the ground itself chose not to announce them.

Frost Howl

Remove 2 Darkness Points from all corrupted creatures within 10 feet. Once per rest. The sound shakes the darkness loose like snow off a branch.

Trickles

Minor magical abilities. No roll required for flavor effects.

Cold Breath — Exhale to fog the air slightly, creating a brief mist that obscures vision.
Silent Step — Your footsteps vanish entirely for a few seconds.
Whisker Glint — Your whiskers sense tension or hostility nearby, alerting you to hidden aggression.

Lore

These majestic guardians stalk the snowy ridges of Marshmallow Peaks with grace that seems impossible given their size. Tigers rarely speak, but their silent presence inspires courage in all who travel with them. Tales say their howls can shatter darkness itself — that the sound carries the original cold of the world, clean and clear and completely incompatible with corruption.

Tigers are ancient residents of the Peaks, predating the cheerful igloo villages and the syrup springs. They were there when the mountains were first sung into being, and they have guarded the high places ever since. Most creatures know better than to try to corrupt something that has been watching the same stars for generations.

Young tiger adventurers tend to be the quiet anchors of their parties — the ones who don't say much, but whose presence makes everyone feel like they can face whatever comes next.

Suggested Calling Pairings

Knight — Might +2 and Snowborn Might make a tiger knight a devastating melee champion, able to break corruption and protect allies in the same powerful swing.
Guardian — Might +2 combined with Silent Paws and the Guardian's defensive abilities creates a silent protector who appears where they're needed most, holds the line, and lets nothing through.
