Tygra was a male Thunderian, architect, scientist, and noble member of the ThunderCats. He can become invisible, however, this doesn't prevent him from being seen by strong enough detectors. Along with the ability to turn invisible, he is armed with a large bolo whip. He is also the Thundercats Council leader, even though Lion-O is in command.


A staunch, level-headed warrior, based on the tiger, Tygra is the one Lion-O often turns to as second-in-command and for counsel. He is responsible for the design of all of the ThunderCat structures on Third Earth — the Cat’s Lair and the Tower of Omens, as well as the devices the ThunderCats used when exploring New Thundera. He is also gifted with "mind-power" — the ability to create life-like illusions in other people’s minds; he used this for Lion-O’s Anointment Trial, but it puts a great strain on him. He uses whip-like bolas in combat, with which he can render himself invisible to the naked eye. In the episode "All That Glitters," Lion-O instructs Tygra, "If I do not return, you will be the new Lord of the ThunderCats." This verifies that indeed, Tygra is the second-in-command.

Where creators Ted Wolf and Leonard Starr described Panthro's character as being based on "strength" and Cheetara's character as being based on "speed," Tygra's character was described as being based on "integrity." Tygra has a romantic feeling for Cheetara (only in the comic books they developed a romantinc relationship and have two thundercubs in the Dogs of War arc).

He is voiced by Matthew Senreich, Hugh Davidson, and Peter Newman in the original series.

In the 2011 remake he is voiced by Matthew Mercer (who also voices Levi Ackerman in Attack on Titan, Kiritsugu Emiya in Fate, Yamato in Naruto, Cole Cassidy in Overwatch, Kagaya Ubuyashiki in Demon Slayer, Sinbad in Magi, Chrom in Fire Emblem, Seijirou Kikuoka in Sword Art Online, Jotaro Kujo in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and Aikurō Mikisugi in Kill la Kill).

In Thundercats Roar, he is voiced by Patrick Seitz (who also voices Jiren in Dragon Ball Super, Laxus Dreyar in Fairy Tail, Enji Todoroki/Endeavor in My Hero Academia, Scorpion in Mortal Kombat, Keith Shadis in Attack on Titan, Ira Gamagōri in Kill la Kill, Andrew Gilbert "Agil" Mills in Sword Art Online, Franky in One Piece, Isshin Kurosaki in Bleach, and Tanktop Master in One Punch Man).

Powers and abilities[]

Tygra is able to turn himself invisible to the naked eye. He also possesses mind power, which enables him to creates illusions that can deceive his opponents; using this power however drains him.

Tygra is also an intellectual, being the architect of the group, and has been seen making scientific research sometimes (he even works in a laboratory sometimes). He's grounded and calm, usually considering every aspect of a situation rather than rushing into conclusions or actions.

He also has some notable weakness: he cannot swim unless he is invisible, and twice he has shown himself vulnerable to addiction. By his own admission, he has self confidence issues, and has been shy since he was a child.
