Tigers are blue, wolf-like monsters with horns on their heads, also known as "The Blue Gale" or "Tiger of the Wind." They were first introduced in Monster Rancher 1 as one of the three basic species, being oriented towards speed and special attacks. Besides an array of swift physical attacks, some of their special abilities include shooting electricity from their horns and breathing ice and wind. They are typically depicted living near and around icy mountain peaks or the tundra, but they are also kept as pets by many people. They grew very popular and have appeared in every Monster Rancher video game since.
In Monster Farm Online and Monster Farm Lagoon, Tiger was redesigned as the Raiga, a more stocky version of the wolf monster, but a special breed that looked like the original blue and white design was released, called Kazenoraiga (meaning "Tiger of the Wind").
Etymology
Its name is a mistranslation of the Japanese word raiga (ライガー), meaning "thunder fang." It is also a reference to another Tecmo game called Template:Ns.
