Burn (Ex) Those hit by a burning tyger's claw attack must succeed at a DC 16 Reflex save or catch fire. The flame burns for 1d4 rounds, doing 1d6 points of damage each round. A burning creature can take a move action to put out the flame. Creatures hitting a burning tyger with natural weapons or unarmed attacks take fire damage as though hit by the tyger's attack, and also catch fire unless they succeed at a Reflex save.

Improved Grab (Ex) To use this ability, the burning tyger must hit with a claw or bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can rake.

Pounce (Ex) If a burning tyger charges a foe, it can make a full attack, including two rake attacks.

Rake (Ex) Attack bonus +9 melee, damage 1d8+3 plus 1d6 fire.
