Description
Another of Gwanalandβs strange pouched mammals, Gwanan Tigers are one of the larger predators of this type. They are not truly Tigers nor Felines at all but their distinctive stripes and fierce natures are certainly in keeping with their namesake.Related content

that look like a hybrid between an Utahraptor and a normal Tiger

I dunno about the teeth - they feel a bit bland compared to Thylacoleo's.

They'd be less bland if they were more like Thylacoleo?
I wanted a strong strain of saber-toothed genes in a lot of these marsupial predators, blending elements of Australian Marsupials and South American Sparassodonts since in Merdia these two groups probably never branched off from one another. This thing may have similarities to Thylacoleo but it isn't Thylacoleo. (It's also bigger than Thylacoleo, comparable to real Tigers).
Also if it helps think of this guy as more of a freakishly big and vicious Quoll or Devil and less a murderous Wombat (Thylacoleo).
Which is a long way of saying I'm not giving this thing Thylacoelo-like shearing teeth but I guess I can try and make the teeth look less bland.
I could take or leave the thumb-claws though.

Ah, gotcha.
I was thinking something more like this, actually:Β Skull Island - Bush-Whacker , but more vertically-oriented.

Always room for more vicious marsupial things.

Are these teeth any better?
(The snout is too long here or at least I need to bring the eyes forward a bit.)

No problem. It doesn't look like a cat, it looks like a fussa or a marsupial.

And I was wondering why, you said it yourself that critter looks like a marsupial, or at least more like a marsupial than a feline.

Were you wondering why it would be called a Tiger?

Same reason a Tassie Tiger is called a Tiger, only this thing is even more Tiger-like (not only in general appearance but also in size and ferocity).
Imagine some lost traders or brave explorers wander ashore from their boats and one of these things jumps out of a bush at them, when they go running back to the boats they (or at least anyone that makes it back) are gonna tell their crew, when asked, that the thing that attacked them looked like a Tiger.
