Lily Tiger

Lily Tigers are Wyld creatures used for war by the Fair Folk, a favourite among those hailing from the Rosenwood.

Standing 15 to 20 feet tall, these gigantic predators have a feline body, a barbed tail and colorful flower where a head should be found.

Grapple
The Lily Tiger makes unopposed control rolls against smaller opponents, unless its victims use magic that allows them to clinch larger enemies, such as Dragon Coil Technique.

Merits

 * Agile Climber: Lily Tigers apply double 8s on all rolls to climb through trees and other foliage.
 * Legendary Size:The Lily Tiger’s size makes it extraordinarily difficult for human-scale enemies to engage it in combat. It does not take onslaught penalties from any attack made by a smaller opponent, although magically inflicted onslaught penalties still apply against it.Withering attacks made by smaller enemies cannot drop it below 1 Initiative unless they have a post-soak damage of 10 dice (although attackers can still gain the full amount of Initiative damage dealt). Decisive attacks made by smaller enemies cannot deal more than (3 + attacker’s Strength) levels of damage to the Lily Tiger with a single attack, not counting any levels of damage added by Charms or other magic.
 * Airsight: Lily Tigers do not have the conventional senses of sight or hearing, but instead perceive the world through vibrations travelling through the air and their keen sense of smell. This sense is acute — they can dodge an arrow by sensing the vibrations in the air as it is let loose. However, in areas of strong pungent odors the Lily Tiger suffers from reduced visibilty.
 * Keen Nose:Lily Tigers apply the double 9s rule on Perception based rolls made using scent.

Special Attacks

 * Ambush Hunter: The Lily Tiger adds three dice on all attack rolls made from stealth.
 * Claw Stomp (Latent): A Lily Tiger that has been trained for combat adds two automatic successes to the attack roll and two dice to the raw damage of any claw attack it makes against a prone enemy.
 * Smashing Tail Hammer (Latent): The Lily Tiger may pay a point of Willpower before making a decisive tail slam attack to grant the attack the benefits of the Solar Charm Heaven Thunder Hammer if it hits. Using Smashing Tail Hammer counts as making a smashing attack, and incurs the additional Defense penalty for such.

Special Defenses

 * Hallucinogenetic Spores: When the Lily Tiger is dealt decisive damage, it releases a cloud of deadly spores. Everyone in close range suffers a - 4 penalty on actions that require sight. the effects last 10 rounds. A successful (Wits + Resistance) check difficulty 2 reduces the duration by one for round each success and reduces the penalty to - 2.
