Animal · 3 hexes · SM +2 Saber-Toothed Tiger [Monsters on Automatic, SRD coverage: mundane land animals; answers Saber-Toothed Tiger (SRD 5.1)]
Heavier and slower than a tiger, and built for one thing: putting something enormous on the ground and opening its throat with a pair of teeth as long as daggers. It cannot chase. It does not have to, because it has already spent an hour getting close enough not to.

Notes
- GCS ancestry draft: gcs/saber-toothed-tiger.gct
- Independent build total: 29 points of racial traits plus 12 points of racial skills.
- Answers the SRD heading(s): Saber-Toothed Tiger (SRD 5.1). Only the creature identity is taken from the SRD; the GURPS statistics, ratings and prose are this project's own work and reproduce no SRD text.
- Typical Stats, damage and ratings are derived from the racial template, not authored beside it, so the sheet and the stat block cannot disagree.
- Movement: ground Move 6, 9 at a sprint (primary). The published Move folds this creature's Enhanced Move into a single figure.
- Treasure and grappling are not authored for this batch and ship as explicit nulls; `lair` carries a short habitat note, because where a wandering animal dens is an encounter fact rather than a loot one.

- Description
- Written by Dungeons on Automatic, released under cc_by_4_0
- Independently authored GURPS build. The SRD supplies the creature identity this record answers to and nothing else: no SRD statistics, wording or presentation is reproduced, and no third-party GURPS conversion was used as an input.
- Answers the SRD heading(s): Saber-Toothed Tiger (SRD 5.1).
- Racial template: 29 points across 22 traits, plus 2 racial skill(s) worth 12 points.
- Every trait is drawn from the project's controlled GURPS vocabulary in scripts/srd/trait-library.mjs, which carries the page reference and published cost for each entry.
- sourceSystem is recorded as doa_fixture because that is the package contract's value for project-authored material; the SRD headings this record answers are in provenance.coversSourceIdentities.
- Ratings are recomputed through the consumer CER path on every build, so a mechanics change cannot leave a stale rating behind.
