Prose
The Black Tiger was a terrifying and horrific creature, as black as night, insubstantial as a shadow and as silent as the grave. It had feline grace and great speed as well as enormous jaws and fangs. It was a  legendary man-eater and a legendary intellect, though bitter and cynical with it. It had great strength and a deafening roar. Blows would move through its flesh as though it were smoke and only its eyes had any real substance until it was slain and their horrible light was finally dimmed. - pg 51 Neverwhere 3
