In addition to the standard sabre cat, there is a subspecies known as the snowy sabre cat, which is much stronger and lives in snow-covered areas, like the regions around Windhelm and Winterhold. They are susceptible to Command Animal, and are sometimes summoned by spriggans.
They rarely follow prey into water, so only a river that is deep enough to swim in can be used as an escape route. They may lurk in nooks under hills just off the road, poised to ambush anyone who walks by. Due to their camouflaged coats, they can easily ambush an unwary traveller. Once a sabre cat catches sight of prey, it will crouch and slowly move towards it until pouncing at the right moment. They occasionally travel in groups of two or three, though they usually travel alone.
Snowy sabre cats are typically found in the northern regions of Skyrim (as well as other snowy areas), especially around Dawnstar and Winterhold. The snowy version of the sabre cat has spotted white fur which it uses more for stalking than its cousin in the plains. The standard sabre cat has reddish-brown fur which helps it blend into grassy regions.
