In the Menagerie scenario you can get some tiger or lion cubs that can grow into full size animal companions of that species.
I have some snow leopard cubs (my daughter wanted to use them as animal familiars in Frostgrave) that can grow into a snow leopard.
Lion Profile Mv 8 Fight +3 Will +2 with attributes Acrobatics +3 Climb +5 Stealth +3 Track +3
Tiger Profile Mv 6 Fight +4 Will +1 with attributes Acrobatics +2 Stealth +3 Strong, Swim +5
The question is should I use the profile of the lion or the tiger for the snow leopard?
