The '''weartiger''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{DQ4}}.

~~The '''Weartiger''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''.~~ Although they appear to be monstrous anthropomorphic tigers, they are actually absurd men wearing tiger skins and thus belong to the [[~~Humanoid~~ family]].

Although they appear to be monstrous anthropomorphic tigers, they are actually absurd men wearing tiger skins and thus belong to the [[humanoid family]] in most cases.

==Description==

At first inspection, the weartiger appears to be large orange jungle cat monster, but by looking in the tiger's mouth, there is a red-skinned humanoid wearing the tiger's skin like a costume. Their description in ~~''Dragon Quest~~ XI'' even states that the weartigers happen to be committed vegetarians. These monstrous men have large eyes, orange tongues, and a mouth lined with sharp fangs. They attack by using the sharp claws of their costume to tear through enemies.

==Etymology==

The ~~weartiger~~'s name is a pun based on the words "weretiger" and "wear". Weretigers are fictional beings analogous to werewolves—a human who is able to shapeshift or transform into a tiger by some means, such as a curse.

The Weartiger's name is a pun based on the words "weretiger" and "wear". Weretigers are fictional beings analogous to werewolves—a [[human]] who is able to shapeshift or transform into a tiger by some means, such as a curse.

==Trivia==

* The ~~weartiger~~ is physically identical to the later-appearing [[Caper tiger]]. Given that the ~~caper~~ tiger's original Japanese name is an approximation of "weretiger" (the original localization name of ''this'' monster), it is possible that the caper tiger was originally meant to be the original ~~weartiger~~ but with a new name.
