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 ''Dragon Quest 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. | |||
