Rictavio's saber-toothed tiger

Rictavio's saber-toothed tiger is specially trained (by scent and by sight) by Rictavio only to hunt and kill Vistani (and he only goes after Evil Vistani). though carried in wagon marked for a carnival, this is only a facade for Rictavio's monster and Vistani hunting. The tiger is equipped with a customized suit of Half Plate Armor, considerably increasing the beast's Armor Class. To non-Vistani targets, it never attacks unless it is attacked first. Nonetheless, the people of Vallaki do not know this, and if Nikolai and Karl Wachter torment it long enough, it may break its bonds and escape before being hunted down and killed by the town guard, with Rictavio taking the blame.
