He is one of the main protagonists in the Tale of the Original Saviours.

## Appearance

Tiger Claw is a muscular humanoid tiger, but with his tail having been cut off by a rival.

His outfit has somewhat of a cowboy look with sleeveless jacket with a band of bullets in the shape of an X on his chest and even wears a hat.

During the events of The Krang Invasion Tiger Claw wears an eye patch over his left eye and his right ear is slightly damaged.

After losing his right arm to his former love interest and rival who took his tale in Tale of Tiger Claw, he now sports a mechanical arm, allowing him to change his hand into a gun, a claw, or a rocket launcher.

Given his predatory nature, Tiger Claw is fierce and cunning, finding enjoyment in hunting and outsmarting most of his enemies.

Unlike his 2012 counterpart, he cares for the people of earth as well as his family as he was willing to fight for his family.
