Biography

Tygra
Tygra, like the rest of the Thundercat Nobles, fled his dying home planet aboard their ship. Tygra suggested that they awaken Lion-O, agreeing with Jaga that he must take the good with the bad and see the destruction of his home. Tygra was given new clothing and weapons by Jaga along with the others, using a bolo whip now in battle alongside his mind powers. When the Mutants boarded their ship, Tygra set off with Cheetara to fight them back.
Tygra sadly bid farewell to Jaga as the ThunderCats entered their suspension capsules, and was later awakened by Lion-O, where he once again fought back the Mutants, telling Lion-O he had become a 'fine figure of a ThunderCat'.
Once, while looking for Thundrillium, Tygra found a large amount of Thundrillium in a cave. Investigating, Tygra was unaware that the mysterious cave actually sped up time, and he was aged almost until death. Weak and frail, the other ThunderCats managed to keep him in a stable condition until they were brought to the mystical fountain of youth by their new allies, the warrior maidens. Just as Tygra was on the verge of death, the fountain restored his youth.
When a large worm began to cause Earthquakes across Third Earth, Tygra tracked it down and pursued it down a hole in the ground. There he met Silky, a strange female plant-like being who was really Mumm-Ra in disguise. After being given a piece of fruit by Silky, Tygra was put under a spell by Mumm-Ra, who commanded him to steal the Sword of Omens. Although Tygra was able to steal the sword and bring it to Mumm-Ra, he was soon freed from Mumm-Ra's influence and quickly got back into battle, making the Mutants and Mumm-Ra pay for their trickery.

Overview
Personality and attributes
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 conducting scientific research (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.
