weretiger
Human becomes tiger
A weretiger is a person who transforms into a tiger, the tiger equivalent of a werewolf.
The concept appears in folklore across South and Southeast Asia, where tigers rather than wolves represent the apex predator.
In fantasy fiction and games, weretigers join werewolves, werebears, and other lycanthropes as shapeshifters: The weretiger stalked the village at night.
