Ligers are a crossbreed of lions and tigers.  They grow larger than tigers, although not to the size of saber-tooth cats.  They are semi-intelligent, and can cast spells as a 4th level caster.  Males have spells as Magic-Users (2 first level and 2 second level spells), while females have Cleric spells (2 first level and 1 second level).  Both sexes cast spells as Clerics, not requiring a spellbook to operate and being able to memorize any spells on their respective lists.
