Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!

Shilah did his best to look as intimidating as possible but the tiger didn't back down. This cat knew it was outnumbered but it still felt it had the upper hand. Perhaps it could sense that they were tired from a previous fight. Shilah listened as he heard the horned man's bark. Suddenly the tiger lunged, knocking the man to the ground. Shit! Shilah lunged for the back of the tiger, seizing hold of the middle of its tail. He bit hard and pulled back. Though it was thin the tiger was still considerably bigger than himself and alone he wasn't going to budge it but the others dove in to help. They had to get the tiger off the horned man before it did irreversible damage. Shilah dug in his feet and as he dug he bit down harder until a yowl erupted from the tiger mouth as one of its vertebrae cracked under the force of Shilah's bite.
