Mounted Samurai

[Castle Blades]

Is there anyway to get a medium sized (Human) samurai to ride a tiger at first level? I just had a really cool idea for that, but if it doesn't work, are there any other mounts I could use in place of the horse and camel available to a a first level samurai? If so please inform me.

A samurai gains the service of a loyal and trusty steed to carry him into battle. This mount functions as a druid's animal companion, using the samurai's level as his effective druid level. The GM may approve other animals as suitable mounts.

A Medium Samurai could ride any Animal Companion of Large size.

Dr. Styx, the problem is there is no large cat animal companion at level 1.

Secondly, the samurai specifies horse or camel - so he needs the DMs approval or monstrous mount to get around that and then needs a way to make it large. If you want to ride a medium tiger though, you can take undersized mount at level 1.

Note that monstrous mount requires level 4+.
