Ogor Mawtribes – Frost Sabres

A Frost Sabre is far more than a big cat, for it is blessed by the Everwinter and has ice magic in its blood. These great felines do not exude heat, and they can pursue prey for hours without exhaling so much as a single telltale puff of condensation. This, combined with their natural stealth and cunning, makes them excellent hunting companions for the ogors. They are capable of outpacing even an Ymetrican stallion over short distances, and they are strong enough to drag down a juvenile rhinox. Once they have sunk their claws in a meal-to-be, their distinctive, curving tusks finish the job, sinking into the prey’s jugular or other vulnerable spot. Icebrow Hunters often train one or more Frost Sabres, usually from birth, to aid them in their more challenging hunts. Some of the most ambitious ogors make use of entire prides of such creatures, using them to shepherd prey into the path of their tribe. Of course, training these animals to give up their kills is often the biggest challenge of handling them – more than one incautious ogor seeking a greater share of the meat has been ripped apart by these beasts once their hunger has been stoked.
