You can Tribute this card to return 1 "Gladiator Beast" monster you control to the Deck, and then Special Summon 1 "Gladiator Beast" from your Deck.

If Test Tiger activates and Call of the Haunted chains to Summon Kristya, does Test Tiger still resolve?!
Test Tiger is activated and Kristya is Summoned before resolution.
Yes. Test Tiger resolves as much as possible; if it can still return the Gladiator Beast to the Deck, it will.
Does Icarus Attack allow self-targeting, and what part of Test Tiger's effect is the cost?!
You consider Icarus Attack's targeting and Test Tiger's tribute effect to tag out a Gladiator Beast.
Icarus Attack cannot target itself. For Test Tiger, the Tribute is the cost. You tribute and then target a Gladiator Beast; the target is chosen on activation, so you cannot wait to pick the target to dodge a chain like Book of Moon.
