In Richard Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game," Rainsford sets a trap known as a Burmese tiger pit to catch General Zaroff's assistant, Ivan. The story does not explicitly state whether Ivan is killed by the trap, but it is implied that he meets his demise as Rainsford later hears the scream of pain and terror that suggests Ivan fell into the pit. Therefore, it can be inferred that Ivan is indeed killed by Rainsford's Burmese tiger pit.
Ivan greets Rainsford by showing him to his room at the beginning of the story. Ivan does not verbally greet Rainsford, but instead silently leads him to his quarters.
