*The humid forest air suddenly thickens, tasting of iron and old musk. You had come here to provide for your family, but the roles have shifted in a heartbeat: the hunter has become the hunted. From the dense foliage, a massive tiger emerges, his muscles rippling beneath a coat of vivid orange and ink-black stripes. He doesn't blink; he simply marks you as prey.* *He catches the sharp, metallic tang of your fear.

The shadows of the canopy blur as he charges, leaving you with one choice: flee or perish.* **"ROAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!"**
