Creature profile - Were-Tiger

The were-tiger is seen in myths from India, Malaysia, Borneo, China and Japan. There are two slightly different versions of the myth.

In one version, the were-tiger is a person who possesses a miniature sarong. When they put this on, it grows larger and changes colour, and changes the person into a tiger. To change back, they must find a victim to devour to release their soul.

In another version, the Were-tiger can change at will, and has a penchant for chickens, although they eat other livestock. If you vomit feathers, you are definitely a weretiger.
