Tigriton

"NOTHING I DO MAKES SENSE."
~ Tigriton to Almighty Tallest Daniel Ledda in Almighty Tallest Danny & Tigriton vs. Pandamonium.Tigriton is a reoccurring character in the Terrachaoverse series. He is a mystical tiger-faced being who guarded the basement of Dan's grandmother's house to keep supernatural threats away, even of the extradimensional variety. As a nexus of supernatural power, that house is a place that needs to be monitored by someone who knows how nexuses work. 
Tier: 7-B when holding back; Low 4-C, higher with his spear 
== Appearance ==
Tigriton is depicted as a man of below average height wearing a tiger mask that doesn't stay on his face very well. For some reason, he wouldn't adjust it until A Night of Freaks. He wears dark clothing, usually a blue or gray collard shirt with jeans & a black hoodie. Other outfits would include a really dark gray shirt & a blue coat. He appears to have dark brown hair & sideburns under the mask, but his real face has never been shown.
== History ==
=== Protecting a Supernatural Nexus ===
Tigriton's year of birth & personal life remain unknown. All that is known is that he is a mysterious magical being who came from the land of Oz. 
In the year 2016, Tigriton was summoned by the Ghost of Christmas in General, Santa Maria to guard the basement of Dan's grandmother's house. He was assigned there to ensure that any extradimensional threats wouldn't come to life through any medium the house would have to offer. Tigriton accepted the role as guardian & was accompanied by an Undead Dwarf called Midget Skeleton. Later on, a Doamhed named Cyclome would join this little group, but would guard the forest outside the house rather than inside the house itself.
The same year, Tigriton was encountered by Dan, who found an ancient mask Tigriton was keeping safe. After giving the mask back to the tiger-faced stranger, Dan was warned about the "oddities" that may roam the basement, & Tigriton disappeared. Dan came across Midget Skeleton, who tried to shoo the Irken Emperor away with his Skeleton Dance & Raggle Fraggle Attack. Green lightning would spark from Dan's fingertips, destroying the skeletal guardian. Dan left immediately afterwards.
During the events of Killing the Illness on October 31st, Tigriton would remain vigilant, surrounding the house with an invisible magic force field. He did this for every time he would see a Deep Creep outside. He also met Jack Jarren during this time, & even agreed to help him out with spying on the Deep Creeps in the name of the Irken Empire.
On December 23rd, Tigriton would make a brief appearance to comment about Cyclome's fight with Dangerous Man, regarding that everyone seen in Dangerous Man vs. Cyclome was wearing the exact same clothing. This confused Tigriton, who would later ensure that the 6-wheeler Dangerous Man tried to steal was only a magical illusion. This would prompt the supervillain to leave shortly after defeating Cyclome.
=== Battle with Pandamonium ===
Over time, Tigriton would find out more & more about what exactly he is guarding & whom he should be concerned with. On April 6th, 2017, Tigriton would meet up with Dan again, but this time they acted more causal towards each other. Dan needed to clarify if Tigriton would remain the guardian of that basement, considering that the Deep Creeps were only recently kicked out of the barn in front of the house. Tigriton confirmed his status as guardian, & was also asked about the "oddities" he mentioned to Dan the previous year. This finally gave Tigriton the information he needed, since Dan admitted to destroying one of them: Midget Skeleton. However, their conversation would be cut short as the 5th Dimensional Entity, Pandamonium introduced himself & began to cause havoc with his newly acquired minions: Woorse, Creepylina, Woodman, & Chuckles. Dan & Tigriton would team up to fight these strange new enemies & appeared to have only the slightest difficulty with them. But Pandamonium wasn't done yet. His trump card, the Super Hydra would arrive, blasting Tigriton with its Triple Jester Blast & rendering him defeated. But Tigriton wasn't done yet, either. He told Dan about a secret weapon which could guarantee victory, & so he used it on the Super Hydra, splitting it atom by atom until every single bit of it was sent back to the 5th Dimension. In disbelief & out of ideas, Pandamonium broke the weapon & laughed boastfully. A rumbling noise was then heard; Dan was charging his Atomic Breath. Pandamonium accepted his fate & was obliterated by the Kaiser's radiation. Tigriton & Dan declared victory, the former teleporting away to heal.
=== Encountering Monsters with Questioning Purpose ===
Tigriton was summoned to Maryland on October 6th by Dan when he, Vendu, and Lord Claudius Ko'Al needed help in finding a 5th Dimensional Entity named Qwar'Tahs. Imhotep & Jack were also summoned to help out with the search. Qwar'Tahs knew about someone or something that was going to destroy the world & everything in it, so finding him and figuring out who or what he was referring to was of the utmost importance. During the search, Tigriton would find an object that reminded him of Pandamonium, shuddering in discomfort at its appearance. Little did he know that Pandamonium was watching from the other side. Later on, Dan declared that Qwar'Tahs wasn't in the Terrachaoverse since his Kaiser Sense couldn't locate him, so he gathered everyone back to New York.
The Next day, Vendu would summon Qwar'Tahs using the power of dank memes, and to his surprise it actually worked. Unfortunately, the Great Old One named Quachil Uttaus showed up, knocking out the extradimensional with a powerful door slam & leading everyone to think that this was whom Qwar'Tahs was referring to. An epic battle had begun: Dan, Vendu, Claudius, & Tigriton vs. Quachil Uttaus. Tigriton stabbed Quachil in the back of the head & through the mouth with his staff, but Quachil chomped on the staff, breaking it. He struggled with Tigriton before releasing a powerful kick, sending him flying down the hallway. When Qwar'Tahs woke up, it became apparent that Quachil Uttaus was innocent, & that Qwar'Tahs was referring to someone else he only knows as "The Beast who Threatens All". Quachil was furious and knocked out the extradimensional with just one punch. Dan & Quachil cleared everything up and the Great Old One had left. Shortly afterwards, Tigriton would wake up and suggest that everyone should get some rest, otherwise they'd be kept awake in a night of freaks. Later on, Tigriton would return to his post & continue his guard duty.
On Halloween, Tigriton became aware that the Deep Creeps had returned & sent a telepathic warning to Dan. Suddenly, the Elder God named Mournor made an appearance before him, reviving Midget Skeleton for no real reason & leaving without a word. Tigriton was delighted to have his below-average standing friend back, but was puzzled by that miraculous stranger, whose identity he would not discover until next year.
=== Winter Meetings ===
Tigriton was outside on guard duty on November 18th, & was unaware that a Super Battle Bros. Participant had walked onto his territory. This person referred to himself as Legit Warfstache & was under the impression that Tigriton would accept his challenge to fight in Battle Bros, but Tigriton dismissed him as an intruder & knocked him out with one hit. After teleporting him away, Tigriton went back inside & checked up on a familiar ancient mask, which he put away for another day.
On December 26th, Tigriton would once again meet up with Dan during a Post-Christmas visit. Tigriton was briefly encountering Chuckles prior to this, who was somehow still alive. Tigriton actually had a gift for Dan; the same mask he showed him when they first met. He explained that the mask once belonged to the cannibalistic Tcho-Tchos of Leng, & believed that it would be safer if it were in Dan's possession. Apparently, that mask is all that's left of the Tcho-Tchos who entered the Terrachaoverse, & that if it were fixed, it would rekindle its magical properties & allow them access to this universe once more. Dan liked his gift, but felt uneasy realizing that he was obligated to give Tigriton something in return, but the magical guardian stated that he had no need to do so. Dan suddenly remembered something he was going to do, & went upstairs to fetch his cousin, Elena Ledda. She & Tigriton were both aware of each other, as evident from the hunt for Qwar'Tahs back in October, to which Elena asked if Tigriton was indeed involved with it. He then explained how things went, as Dan & Elena were just about ready to leave. Tigriton suddenly spotted an enchanted toy named Dino-Head-on-a-Stick, who asked if he wanted to play some golf. Tigriton then twirled his staff at the intruder & knocked him out, then proceeded to talk with a certain short-statured skeleton perched atop the filing cabinet.
=== Standing Against the Almighty Tallest ===
On the seventh of May, 2018, Tigriton had returned to the Ledda Residence, hanging out with Claudius, Invader Ultrominus, & Imhotep. They discussed their plans for the summer as Claudius would point out that Dan's become more power-hungry as of lately. Now that his summer vacation has come early, Tigriton figured everyone would be going on more wacky adventures. Tigriton agreed with Claudius' point that Dan is becoming more dangerous, noting that the Mask of the Tcho-Tchos was stolen & fixed by Gravebone, questioning whether or not he should've trusted Dan to keep it in the first place. Imhotep & Ultrominus left to see when Dan would return as Claudius & Tigriton continued their discussion. Tigriton would then hack up a hairball for no reason whatsoever.
On July 12th, Claudius invited Tigriton for a meeting to figure out where the Infinity Stones were since Dan's Infinity Gauntlet was nearing its completion. More particularly, they tried to figure out the whereabouts of the Time Stone, which Dan did not have yet. Claudius organized an acronym that spelled out Daniel's name, & each letter was something that an Infinity Stone was in. E was the missing letter, & Ghoul briefly appeared to give a hint as to what it stood for. It asked for Dan's favorite color, which Tigriton knew was green. The E was for emerald. After a while, Tigriton & Claudius, now in his golden form, ventured upstairs to steal the Time Stone from Dan, knowing that Sans gave it to him already. However, when they got to his room, it was too late. Dan had not only collected the stone, but he bound himself to the Soul Stone. The room glowed orange with cosmic energy, radiating from his body as he let out a mighty roar, signaling the Ghosts of Apocalypse to be seen. Tigriton prayed for deliverance before Claudius would abort their mission altogether. They would both leave the house soon afterwards without telling Dan what they were doing.
=== Just Doing his Job ===
Early in the morning on August 1st, Tigriton encountered Fallaballa, who had fallen into a portal & ended up at Dan's grandmother's house; Tigriton's usual residence. He decided to help Falla as his head was hurting from a really bad hangover. He was also drunk & offered him a vape, to which Tigriton declined. He offered to help him get to a safer place, as this house has been visited by several spooky creatures from time to time. Falla was scared by Chuckles, but Tigriton assured him he was harmless. He then took his staff & played golf by hitting Chuckles into the room opposite. Down the hallway they went, as they saw the infamous doll, Annabelle, who was demonically possessed. It was best for them to not look at her, especially in the eyes. Before Fallaballa would be teleported to Dan's house, he asked Tigriton how he knew who he was, as they've never actually met before. As it turns out, Tigriton has a catalog of all of Earth's species; the Ballans are one such species. With a jolt of his staff, Falla was out of sight & out of mind. Suddenly, Annabelle lunged at Tigriton, but the mystic guardian was too quick for the Demon, & he whacked the doll down with the hit of his staff. He also had to deal with Dino-Head-on-a-Stick again, but he was annoyed & struck him down in one shot. Dino-Head was exorcised later that night. 
=== Escaping from & Delivering Death ===
On December 7th, Dan had begun destroying the Earth in a fit of rage. Tigriton had awoken from a cat-nap & saw that the sky was purple & the ground was shaking. He knew right then & there that it was Armageddon. Declaring that the end was neigh, he grabbed Midget Skeleton & teleported each other to a different planet in the Solar System, escaping with their lives. Later that day, after the Earth was rebuilt with the Infinity Gauntlet, King Richard I noted to Imhotep that there were some who escaped Dan's wrath, playing over stock footage of Tigriton & Midget Skeleton escaping. After an unknown amount of time, Tigriton returned to the reforged Earth. 
On Easter Sunday, 2019, Tigriton declared that Chuckles' spirit be set free, & so it was. Chuckles could finally find peace, as he was no longer able to be controlled by Pandamonium or any other malevolent entity. Shortly afterwards, Asmodeus appeared to visit Tigriton & wished him a "happ eester". After Asmodeus compared Tigriton's voice to that of Dr. Victor Zolostene, Tigriton shifted their subject in reference to someone or something he caught sight of recently. He described what he saw as someone like a man, but also like a bird. Asmodeus figured out he was talking about Birdman, who had allegedly achieved his final form. Asmodeus then left, with Tigriton now realizing how random that encounter really was.
=== Interdimensional Terror ===
On June 19th, 2021, Tigriton was invited to hang out at the Ledda Residence along with Claudius, Jack, Imhotep, Big Fat Ugly Bug Faced Baby Eating O'Brien, Hydrion Barfallonyou, & Shark Puppet. While mostly everyone else was sparring in the backyard, Tigriton would sit at a table on the front porch & have a drink with Claudius. They talked about how quiet things have been the past several months, including how Dan himself has hardly made himself visible lately, despite that the Coronavirus quarantine ended a while ago. Claudius wasn't sure if this was because Dan wasn't really feeling like socializing or he has a big secret project to work on. Tigriton believed it to be both. Suddenly, without a moment's notice a tremble could be felt throughout the universe. Tigriton, Claudius, Jack, & Imhotep all felt two huge power signatures, both belonging to familiar enemies Pandamonium & Trip Man. After exposing them as 4-dimensional beings instead of 5, Dan did battle with the two extradimensionals, their struggle causing reality itself to fall apart. Pandamonium broke the sky open, exposing the universe to the quantum foam on the outside in an attempt to make the Multiverse collapse in on itself. Tigriton & Claudius could only watch as Imhotep, Jack, & O'Brien were horribly disfigured by the chaotic panda's powers. Tigriton stated that only one of them could stop these extradimensionals now. Minutes later, Dan won the fight by erasing his enemies from existence, reverting the universe & everyone in it back to normal. After Dan briefly came outside to see that all was well again, he went back inside & Hydrion reported about what just happened. Unable to sense any trace of them anymore, Tigriton noticed that Pandamonium & Trip Man's power signatures were completely gone, concluding that they've been permanently eliminated. Claudius & O'Brien were theorizing that those two could've only been brought here on purpose since they were sealed within the Pentalock, & they pondered how & why they'd be unleashed without warning like that. Imhotep chimed in, claiming that this was Dan's way of "eliminating the competition". Tigriton & O'Brien were dumfounded by that notion.
=== Thanking the Emperor ===
Tigriton would meet Dan again on Christmas later that year at his grandmother's house. They exchanged gifts, with Dan giving Tigriton a gothic, cat-themed lace mask for "extra anonymity". Tigriton was initially confused, but didn't mind how it looked on him. Tigriton would then give Dan a letter E made entirely out of iron. Dan realized the irony of the gift & Tigriton added he wanted to thank him in some way for saving the universe from Pandamonium & Trip Man earlier in the year. The two then said their goodbyes & Dan continued to celebrate Christmas with his family.
On July 7th, 2023, Tigriton had fulfilled his duties as protector of the house he was stationed at for 7 years, for there was no one living there anymore & the supernatural presence felt in the area had diminished greatly over time. Before departing he said one last goodbye to Midget Skeleton before exorcising him. With both of them having served their purpose, Tigriton took his belongings & left. His current whereabouts are unknown. 
== Personality ==
Tigriton is a very goofy character, always struggling to keep his tiger mask on, despite that the string on the mask is too long to fit & that he doesn't even think of replacing it with a better one. He even shows signs of obliviousness from time to time, like when he told Dan about the secret weapon that could destroy Pandamonium, only to be questioned why it wasn't just used from the start. But, at his core, Tigriton is a protector, a watchful guardian who acts as soon as he can. He is also very cautious, taking only the greatest measures in making sure all is well. He even claims to have a catalog of all of Earth's species, which means he is potentially ready for any encounter.
== Powers & Abilities ==
=== Physical Abilities ===
Ultrahuman Strength: Tigriton is exceptionally strong, able to combat beings much more powerful than himself, even briefly, & still find the strength to stay on his feet. He was even able to stab a Great Old One through the head with his staff, & the Great Old Ones are incredibly difficult to damage, even in their weaker avatars. He also once had the determination to take on Emperor Dan alongside Golden Claudius, but it's unknown how well those two would've actually faired against Dan. A much more minor feat, he once broke his own communication device by mistake, not knowing his own strength. He almost always has to hold back when fighting, but when he goes all out, he is more ferocious than the animal his mask is imaged after. When restricted, he can at least destroy a city, but at his best he can destroy a small star.
Ultrahuman Speed: Tigriton has considerably fast reflexes, not unlike the animal his mask was modeled after. He is able to outmaneuver Pandamonium, his minions, & Annabelle with little effort. He was even able to sneak up behind Quachil Uttaus. Given that he was able to react to some of Quachil's attacks, he should be able to move faster than light, but not by much.
Durability: Tigriton has a high pain threshold, as evident by most of his battles. He survived the Super Hydra's Triple Jester Blast & a struggle & a kick from Quachil Uttaus. He is durable enough to withstand the destruction of a small star.
Staffsmanship: Tigriton's favorite weapon is his staff, which he has been trained to use quite efficiently.
=== Special Powers ===
Power Sensing: Like many supernatural beings of the Terrachaoverse, Tigriton can sense the power levels/signatures of other supernatural beings.
Magic: Tigriton is a magical being, & therefore has access to several mystic abilities. Being trained by Santa Maria, Tigriton has learned many spells in his lifetime, though not all have been shown before.
* Mystic Meditation: When he is at his most calm, Tigriton can concentrate & restore his body, mind, & soul altogether.
* Teleportation: Tigriton can teleport to pretty much anywhere he needs to be. When he does so, every single one of his molecules can be seen relocating themselves. 
*Perception Manipulation: Tigriton can manifest a mold of any animal's face, which he can throw as a projectile. If they hit someone & land on their face, they will only be able to see images of said animal until the mold is taken off. This won't work if he hits them anywhere else.
*Force Fields: Tigriton can generate force fields over great distances. However, he cannot concentrate on anything else while doing so. This was how he was able to prevent the Deep Creeps from entering the house next to their barn base.
*Illusions: Tigriton has not displayed this power often, but he can indeed create illusions with his magic. For instance, while Dangerous Man was gloating about Cyclome's defeat, Tigriton swapped out the 6-wheeler that was about to be stolen for one that didn't even exist. He also made his face look like the E meme for a brief moment.
*Random Awareness: Tigriton can sense incoming threats, usually ones closest to him. For example, he knows when someone is near the Mask of the Tcho-Tchos, he could sense Dangerous Man & Cyclome outside (& also knew they were wearing the exact same clothes as him), he could predict when Annabelle would attack him, & he also knew exactly what was happening when Dan was destroying the Earth, despite no one telling him about it.
*Exorcism: Tigriton can magically release someone's soul from their body. He has only been shown doing this in a positive manner, releasing someone from their suffering, so it's unknown if he'd do it in a negative way & intsta-kill someone right from the get-go if they were causing too much trouble. This spell is how he was able to free Chuckles from Pandamonium's control & relieve Midget Skeleton of his duties. He likely exorcised every other haunted object in the house after he learned this ability.
== Equipment ==
Enchanted Carbonadium Staff: While it may look plain in appearance, Tigriton's staff is a very special weapon. Created in the North Pole by Santa himself, this staff is made of carbonadium, a metal which has special radioactive properties that cause healing factors to stop. Santa also enchanted the spear; this is how Tigriton was able to pierce through Quachil Uttaus, a being far more powerful than he could ever dream of. The staff can also be used to teleport people to other places, but can only be done so if a pointing motion is made or if they are in direct contact with the to-be-teleported. Tigriton describes the feeling as a jolt before he does so to someone else.
Unspecified Wooden Weapon: Tigriton once wielded an unusually-shaped wooden weapon that was able to knock out Legit Warfstache with a single hit to the head.
Radio Transceiver (formerly): In order to keep track of when & where other supernatural entities are, Tigriton has a communication device that he can use to contact Santa about the supernaturals in his area. However, Tigriton no longer has this device, as he accidentally broke its antenna.
Elder Sign Necklace: Tigriton owns a golden necklace with the Elder Sign on it, specifically of the branch-shaped design. This sign is capable of warding off servants of the Great Old Ones.
== Weaknesses ==
Tigriton is mainly weak to cosmic attacks. The Super Hydra's Triple Jester Blast was able to knock him down with ease, rendering Tigriton immobile & unable to get back up. Not to mention, the cosmic horror that is Quachil Uttaus was able to overwhelm him with his otherworldly strength.
Also, while Tigriton is able to sense danger nearby, he has been known to be quite oblivious to other things. His awareness ability seems to work randomly, as he was unable to sense Dan killing Midget Skeleton right after it happened.
== Trivia ==
* His birthday is on International Tiger Day.
* In his battle against Legit Warfstache, he references Big Smoke from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas by shouting "YOU PICKED THE WRONG HOUSE, FOOL!"
