The '''Weartiger''', originally known as '''Weretiger''', is a monster in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|''Dragon Quest'' series]].
 
The '''weartiger''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{DQ4}}.
 
Although they appear to be monstrous anthropomorphic tigers, they are actually absurd men wearing tiger skins and thus belong to the [[humanoid family]] in most cases.


==Description==
==Description==
The Weartiger is an large orange jungle cat monster. Capable of standing on two legs, it uses its sharp claws to tear through its prey.
At first inspection, the weartiger appears to be large orange jungle cat monster, but by looking in the tiger's mouth, there is a red-skinned humanoid wearing the tiger's skin like a costume. Their description in {{XI}} even states that the weartigers happen to be committed vegetarians. These monstrous men have large eyes, orange tongues, and a mouth lined with sharp fangs. They attack by using the sharp claws of their costume to tear through enemies.

Tryger the weartiger is a finalist in the Monster Scout Challenge. He is the third challenger and uses a [[Garuda]] and a [[Beetlebully]].
The Weartiger's name is a pun based on the words "weretiger" and "wear". Weretigers are fictional beings analogous to werewolves—a [[human]] who is able to shapeshift or transform into a tiger by some means, such as a curse.

Given that the [[Caper tiger]]'s original Japanese name is an approximation of "weretiger" (the original localization name of ''this'' monster), it is possible that the caper tiger was originally meant to be the original Weartiger but with a new name.
*The Weartiger is likely based on the Oni, a Japanese ogre that's sometimes red-skinned and wears tiger skins as clothing.

The weartiger is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen.

Although they appear to be monstrous anthropomorphic tigers, they are actually absurd men wearing tiger skins and thus belong to the humanoid family in most cases.

Description[edit]

At first inspection, the weartiger appears to be large orange jungle cat monster, but by looking in the tiger's mouth, there is a red-skinned humanoid wearing the tiger's skin like a costume. Their description in XI even states that the weartigers happen to be committed vegetarians. These monstrous men have large eyes, orange tongues, and a mouth lined with sharp fangs. They attack by using the sharp claws of their costume to tear through enemies.

Etymology[edit]

The Weartiger's name is a pun based on the words "weretiger" and "wear". Weretigers are fictional beings analogous to werewolves—a human who is able to shapeshift or transform into a tiger by some means, such as a curse.

Trivia[edit]

  • The Weartiger is physically identical to the later-appearing Caper tiger. Given that the Caper tiger's original Japanese name is an approximation of "weretiger" (the original localization name of this monster), it is possible that the caper tiger was originally meant to be the original Weartiger but with a new name.
