Looking at animal encounter tables while planning the next bit of my Traveller game and pondering the difficulties of a 3200kg carnivore/trapper that lives in the mountains.
(Half the fun of classic Traveller is fleshing out what the game's minimalist systems give you. Luckily, I enjoy improvised world building.)
I guess maybe it has a slow metabolism so it doesn't have to be constantly feeding. Perhaps it could cover itself in loose rock and hide at the bottom of scree slopes?
