Malevolent Tigers



"No matter how fast you run, no matter where you hide, I will catch you."

- Shere Khan.

The villainous foil to Benevolent Tigers, Malevolent Tigers are evildoers who are tigers or people who can turn into tigers at will.

Tigers are commonly portrayed as heroes in stories, but these animals are also portrayed as evil characters. Not to be confused with big cats, these are the feline monsters from many a childhood that reminded a great many never to talk to people and to think twice before venturing out into the jungle.

Ever since the first anthropoid was dragged off and eaten by a sabertooth, the large cats (good or otherwise) have invoked fear and awe in the hearts of humans.

Tigers are the symbols of kings, empires, even gods and demons. Their pelts are gorgeous and carry with them a sense of awe. And, obviously, they have a profound impact on humans and the fiction they produce.

In fantasy and family genres, Malevolent Tigers often come across as savages, tyrants, and man eaters. In other words, whether they are preying on children, animals, victims or lost travelers or leaving carnage in their wake, these tigers mean deadly business. The most famous Malevolent Tiger is Shere Khan from The Jungle Book.
