Kirre

''This large feline resembles other great cats, but is distinguished by its eight legs, twin horns sweeping from its brow and tail sporting multiple spikes. Its short, soft fur is striped brown and grey.''

Combat
Kirre prefer to use their wall walker ability to reach high limbs or ledges where they wait in ambush. They usually begin combat with their concussion ability before leaping into melee. When engaged in melee, a kirre will unleash a flurry of attacks, striking with its claws, horns, bite and clubbed tail.

Description
Kirre are cunning and ruthless predators feared in all of the wooded areas of Athas. Resembling an eight-legged, horned tiger, the kirre is striped in brown and grey, with the exception of its face, which is all grey. The yellow eyes of this creature against the dark grey fur of its face create a fearsome appearance. An adult kirre is eight feet long and weighs 400 pounds. Kirres are normally solitary creatures, but will pair off for mating. Kirre litters number from three to five young and are born in a den in a remote area of the forest where they will be unlikely to be disturbed. During the first five months after birth, both the male and female protect their den ferociously, attempting to kill any creature who threatens their young.

Kirre are hunted by the many tribes that inhabit Athas' forests, both for their meat and for their horns and tail spikes, which are used to fashion weaponry.
