Tygra is the architect of Cats Lair, a highly intelligent and thoughtful ThunderCat whose primary strengths are his mental abilities. Perhaps because of his experience and knowledge, along with his levelheaded nature, even though Lion-O is Lord of the ThunderCats, Jaga appointed Tygra as the Head of the ThunderCats Council. Although naturally shy and peaceable in personality, Tygra is nonetheless a formidable adversary in combat and will never shy away from battle in the defence of his friends or the innocent.




Exodus

Tygra fled his dying home planet of Thundera with the other Thundercat Nobles aboard their ship, Tygra suggested that they awaken Lion-O, agreeing with Jaga that he must take the good with the bad and see the destruction of his home. Tygra was given new clothing and weapons by Jaga along with the others, using a bolo wip now in battle alongside his mind powers. When the Mutants boarded their ship, Tygra set off with Cheetara to fight them back.

Garden of Delights

Lion-O's Anointment Trials: Trial of Mind Power

When the time came for Lion-O's Annointment Trials, it was Tygras task to try him in powers of the mind. Tygra rarely used his mind powers, as they extremely taxing, he had actually been saving his mental strength in preparation for the trial. Tygra tried to trick Lion-O with several illusions during the trial, but Lion-O managed to overcome them all by focusing his mind. Tygra warned Lion-O that he would face his greatest fear by the end of the trial. Tygra also had to use his powers to trick the Mutants and keep them from interferring with the trial. Finally, Tygra created an amazing illusion of Thundera, the Thundercats dying home planet, this was Lion-O's greatest fear. Lion-O was able to overcome his fear, and fought Tygra in hand to hand combat, besting the exhausted Tygra. Tygra did not again use his mind powers, due to the huge strain which was put upon him.
