Empowered by the ancient Smilodon Spirit, the shaman Bentayga can take on the form of man, saber-toothed tiger, and the beast inbetween. A mischievous were-cat who has made countless deals with the spirits in the Realm Beyond, Bentayga is a ferocious hunter who will lead his pride against all odds.
Formerly a regular human from the modern age, Samuel Guanarteme was abducted by an ancient force, the Smilodon Spirit. They turned him into a ferocious were-beast and locked him in their realm, an Island Lost in Time. Trapped there, Samuel learned of his captor’s egositical motivation: Smilodon needed just one of their kind to exist, so that they could boostrap themselves back into Reality. Now perpetually bound to each other by the Smilodon’s gift, the unlikely duo learned to work and live together, finally escaping their prison realm. However, Reality may not tolerate being disturbed…
