(Though if a Hellside tiger spends enough time on Topside, their fur will take on different hues until they return to Hellside.)\n\nTopside tigers can come in any set of colors, and may end up a foot or so taller.\n\nAt some point in the distant past, Turf Tigers seem to have emerged from a group of Topside Pygmy Tigers."
