Birthing Monsters - Ravid/Tiger

XVicious · Apr 21, 2015

I am going to Birth here 2 Monsters for TOEE any version,

The Ravid and a Tiger. Now then, the Ravid is a flying serpent type outsider with a dragonic looking head with one claw (exrta planar -positive energy plain) that scuries about aimlessly raising random creatures from the dead as followerers.

since its like a serpent, I will be using the original Snake Model as a base for the scupling.

the Tiger needs no indroduction, so I will be basing its scuplture out of an earlier Cat mod I had done in the past.

Stay tuned, I am going to post pics and comments for the entire process of adding these two MODS into TOEE.

using skm tool set here I managed a version of the Ravid that I accept as a Formable foe at challenge rating (CR) 5.

in this picture you would see some of the modding process,
and the run time BETA tests

the Ravid in the picture is scaled to 200% to get a better picture.

to finalze the Ravid, some more modding will be due, to change the Models
Material Definitions to point to its own folder where I will want the Toee engine to look for its textures and animation.

____________________________________________________

The Tiger will be Next here, then I will finalize both versions using some HEX Edit
and editing some Scripts, plus adding their Protoype RULES and STATS.

the links to them will be available soon here in ZIP file formats.

DM opinion: I believe the Ravid is a Party saver if your party scrubs and they all DIE, the DM can make up a Cocomamy story and say, that your party was some how raised from the dead by a wondering Ravid, now you can try your Campaign again.

also you could use a Ravid to lead an Undead brigage of zombies, to raid a village
and say that the Ravid being a nuetral creature, one day decided to create a zombie army,

-sounds like a good side quest for TOEE,
survive an envading horde of zombies followed by a bossy RAVID.

Siberian tigers are bigger than Bengal tigers. I've watched every David Attenborough nature documentary series since Life On Earth blew my mind in the 1980s, so that's why I know this.

Dualy noted gazra,
I will take that into account when I eventually create the proto-type for this monster.
I enjoy realism ideals, so I would'nt want it wrong.

The Siberian tiger and Bengal tiger subspecies rank among the biggest living cats. A comparison of data on body weights of Siberian tigers indicates that up to the first half of the 20th century both males and females were on average heavier than post-1970 ones. Today's wild Siberian tigers are lighter than Bengal tigers. Their reduced weight as compared to historical Siberian tigers may be due to a combination of causes: when captured, they were usually sick or injured and involved in a conflict situation with people.

It turns out that David Attenborough was wrong. The Bengal tiger is bigger. Sorry for misleading you, XVicious.

So if the Tiger is for sale in a market as say a companion, the Bangel Tiger would be bigger, but.... if the Tigers are in the wild, and have not been exposed to post tramatic stress, then...the siberian tiger would actualy be the bigger cat.

gazra_1971 · Apr 21, 2015

David Attenborough was correct - the Siberian (or Amur) tiger is the biggest cat subspecies in the world.

National Geographic states:

Siberian (or Amur) tigers are the world's largest cats.

Siberian tiger:
Size: 10.75 ft (3.3 m)
Weight: 660 lbs (300 kg)

Bengal tiger:
Size: Head and body, 5 to 6 ft (1.5 to 1.8 m); tail, 2 to 3 ft (0.6 to 0.9 m)
Weight: 240 to 500 lbs (109 to 227 kg)

WWF (World Wild Life) states:

Bengal tiger:
WEIGHT: around 550 pounds
LENGTH: nearly 10 feet

Wikipedia states:

The Bengal tiger's coat is yellow to light orange, with stripes ranging from dark brown to black; the belly and the interior parts of the limbs are white, and the tail is orange with black rings. The white tiger is a recessive mutant of the Bengal tiger, which is reported in the wild from time to time in Assam, Bengal, Bihar and especially from the former State of Rewa. However, it is not to be mistaken as an occurrence of albinism. In fact, there is only one fully authenticated case of a true albino tiger, and none of black tigers, with the possible exception of one dead specimen examined in Chittagong in 1846.

Male Bengal tigers have an average total length of 270 to 310 cm (110 to 120 in) including the tail, while females measure 240 to 265 cm (94 to 104 in) on average. The tail is typically 85 to 110 cm (33 to 43 in) long, and on average, tigers are 90 to 110 cm (35 to 43 in) in height at the shoulders. The weight of males ranges from 180 to 258 kg (397 to 569 lb), while that of the females ranges from 100 to 160 kg (220 to 350 lb). The smallest recorded weights for Bengal tigers are from the Bangladesh Sundarbans, where adult females are 75 to 80 kg (165 to 176 lb). Bengal tigers have exceptionally stout teeth, and the canines are the longest among all living felids; measuring from 7.5 to 10 cm (3.0 to 3.9 in) in length.

Records
Two tigers shot in Kumaon and near Oude at the end of the 19th century allegedly measured more than 12 ft (370 cm). But at the time, sportsmen had not yet adopted a standard system of measurement; some would measure between pegs while others would round the curves.

In the beginning of the 20th century, a male Bengal tiger was shot in central India with a head and body length of 221 cm (87 in) between pegs, a chest girth of 150 cm (59 in), a shoulder height of 109 cm (43 in) and a tail length of 81 cm (32 in), which was perhaps bitten off by a rival male. This specimen could not be weighed, but it was calculated to weigh no less than 272 kg (600 lb).

A heavy male weighing 570 lb (260 kg) was shot in northern India in the 1930s. However, the heaviest known tiger was a huge male killed in 1967 that weighed 388.7 kg (857 lb) and measured 322 cm (127 in) in total length between pegs, and 338 cm (133 in) over curves. This specimen is on exhibition in the Mammals Hall of the Smithsonian Institution.[19] In 1980 and 1984, scientists captured and tagged two male tigers in Chitwan National Park that weighed more than 270 kg (600 lb).

The Siberian tiger and Bengal tiger subspecies rank among the biggest living cats. A comparison of data on body weights of Siberian tigers indicates that up to the first half of the 20th century both males and females were on average heavier than post-1970 ones. Today's wild Siberian tigers are lighter than Bengal tigers. Their reduced weight as compared to historical Siberian tigers may be due to a combination of causes: when captured, they were usually sick or injured and involved in a conflict situation with people

The Siberian tiger is reddish-rusty, or rusty-yellow in color, with narrow black transverse stripes. The body length is not less than 150 cm (60 in), condylobasal length of skull 250 mm (10 in), zygomatic width 180 mm (7 in), and length of upper carnassial tooth over 26 mm (1 in) long. It has an extended supple body standing on rather short legs with a fairly long tail. It is typically 5–10 cm (2–4 in) taller than the Bengal tiger, which is about 107–110 cm (42–43 in) tall.

Body size
The largest male, with largely assured references, measured 350 cm (140 in) "over the curves", equivalent to 330 cm (130 in) "between the pegs". The tail length in fully grown males is about 1 m (39 in). Weights of up to 318 kg (701 lb) have been recorded, but according to Mazák, none of these cases can be confirmed via reliable sources. Mazák indicates the typical weight range of historical Siberian tigers as 180 to 306 kg (397 to 675 lb) for males and 100 to 167 kg (220 to 368 lb) for females.

Exceptionally large individuals were targeted and shot by hunters. An unconfirmed report tells of a male tiger shot in the Sikhote-Alin Mountains in 1950 weighing 384 kg (847 lb) with an estimated length of 3.48 m (11.4 ft). In some cases, captive Siberian tigers reached a body weight of up to 465 kg (1,025 lb), such as the tiger "Jaipur."

Measurements taken by scientists of the Siberian Tiger Project in Sikhote-Alin range from 178 to 208 cm (70 to 82 in) in head and body length measured in straight line, with an average of 195 cm (77 in) for males; and for females ranging from 167 to 182 cm (66 to 72 in) with an average of 174 cm (69 in). The average tail measures 99 cm (39 in) in males and 91 cm (36 in) in females. The longest male measured 309 cm (122 in) in total length (tail of 101 cm (40 in)) and had a chest girth of 127 cm (50 in). The longest female measured 270 cm (110 in) in total length (tail of 88 cm (35 in)) and had a chest girth of 108 cm (43 in). These measurements show that the present Amur tiger is longer than the Bengal tiger and the African lion.

In 2005, a group of Russian, American and Indian zoologists published an analysis of historical and contemporary data on body weights of wild and captive tigers, both female and male across all subspecies. The data used include weights of tigers that were older than 35 months of age and measured in the presence of authors. The results of this analysis indicates that the average historical wild male Siberian tiger weighed 215.3 kg (475 lb) and the female 137.5 kg (303 lb); the contemporary wild male Siberian tiger weighs 176.4 kg (389 lb) on average with an asymptotic limit being 222.3 kg (490 lb); a wild female weighs 117.9 kg (260 lb) on average. Historical Siberian tigers and Bengal tigers were the largest ones, whereas contemporary Siberian tigers are lighter than Bengal tigers. The reduction of the body weight of today's Siberian tigers may be explained by concurrent causes, namely the reduced abundance of prey due to illegal hunting and that the individuals were usually sick or injured and captured in a conflict situation with people.
