Thanks. It started off as bedtime story for my daughter and I changed it to a Gloranthan setting. It was Tiger's tail that got caught in the story (though she probably would have laughed at the other too. Kids can be so cruel!:->)

The Tiger of the story is actually Smilodon, one of the extinct sabretooth tigers which actually wasn't a tiger (and didn't have a long tail to get caught:->) The Elephant mentioned in the story is actually a mammoth or mastodon, I'm not sure which is present in Balazar and the Elder Wilds. I'm assuming that cave man period animals are present in these regions to keep the cave man theme going.
