Ty the Tasmanian Tiger

Ty the Tasmanian Tiger is the main protagonist of the eponymous three-part video game series.

Attributes
Ty is a Thylacine (a marsupial nicknamed the "Tasmanian Tiger", know thought to be extinct) who has considerable skill with the various boomerangs he wields throughout his adventures. Like his species, he also has a knack for biting which he often uses as an offense against enemies. Often, this entails combatting the villainous cassowary Boss Cass and his frill lizard underlings.

In addition to being a skilled fighter, Ty is also a loyal person who will do what he can for his friends and allies. He is also a devoted boyfriend to Shazza, a dingo who affectionately refers to him as "Possum". In the second and third games, Ty is a member of Bush Rescue, a group organized to aid residents of the region and combat against Boss Cass' schemes.

For the most part, Ty lives in Burramudgee, a town in a fictional Australian region called Southern Rivers. He was raised by Bilbies (small blue marsupials that live underground) and mentored somewhat by a cockatoo named Maurie. Following the events of the first game, he is accompanied by his family who operate boomerang shops that provide Ty with more weaponry.

There are also times when he participates in car/cart races in order to accomplish some heroic goals, such as winning a race in the third game so as to convince Maurie to rejoin Bush Rescue.

While playing with some Bilbie friends, Ty stumbles into a hole where he encounters the Bunyip Elder, a mysterious spirit-beast entity from the Dream Time (an otherworld where his kind reside).
