The Tiger jackal is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest VI.

Characteristics

Tiger jackals are tough tussling man-beasts with bold blue fur, garish gold wrestling get-up and freakishly long clawed gauntlets designed to deal devastating damage to foes. They'll curiously use their crushing claws to try and entirely throw an opponent right out of battle, sending them sailing back to the wagon. The terrifying beasts love to build up tension, ready to deal extra damage with their next awesome attack.
