==Trivia== | |||
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. | |||
