T'ai Fu

T'ai Fu is a tiger and the protagonist of the DreamWorks Interactive video game T'ai Fu: Wrath of the Tiger. He is voiced by John DiMaggio.

Plot
T'ai is the surviving member of a tiger clan that was hunted and slain by the malevolent Dragon Master. He was raised following his clan's destruction by Lo Ping, a member of the Panda Clan who served as T'ai's mentor. One day, the Dragon Master returns and discovers that T'ai is still alive. He and his guards devastate the Panda Clan's village, leaving T'ai beaten up and full of guilt for being the cause of the destruction. Encouraged by Lo Ping to seek out other clans for training to confront the Dragon Master, T'ai sets forth to avenge his clan and Lo Ping.

During his journey, T'ai encounters Master Mantis and the heads of several clans (Leopard, Crane, Monkey, etc.) and, after accomplishing various goals and defeating some of the Clan heads in fights, learns more Kung Fu techniques and combat skills. He also develops the power of his chi for potent and damaging energy attacks. Eventually, T'ai is greeted by the ghost of his father Lau Fu who gives T'ai the final encouragement and training necessary to take down the Dragon Master. Ultimately, T'ai confronts the Dragon Master and defeats/destroys the draconian overlord once and for all. His clan avenged, T'ai is thanked by his father before heading onward.

Personality
Although dedicated to learning skills from each of the clans and avenging his clan's demise, T'ai is a bit of a smart aleck who will wisecrack and openly state if something bores him. Regarding Lotus, the princess of the Leopard Clan and a boss in the game, he made a suggestive comment about her appearance. He also believes that his smart mouth and fists should handle the problem rather than some strategy. However, as the game progresses, T'ai becomes less arrogant and more humble.

He is also quick to anger, wanting to take down the Dragon Master before he was even ready to confront the overlord. As aforementioned, T'ai prefers to fight first and will rush directly into battles.
