Well, I joked aruond about doing it. And since I just finished raising a tiger critter, I decided that I may as well set up my rating and comments on it. Why? Just 'cause I feel like it! Feel free to add your own in as well. Might be interesting to see people's reactions to hte various creatures.

Anyhow, MR2 doesn't seem to have as many Tigers as MR1 has. Either that, or they're just harder to get. Really too bad, since they're such fun creatures to play with. They have short lifespans (right down there with nagas and jokers), but those years aer worth it!

Tigers aer skill monsters, first and foremost. An infusion of tiger blood into your breeding pool should help most monsters with that 'skill' deficit, as long as you don't mind the fact that they're also very, very fragile. Without defense and low life, the only thing they have going for them is speed (and even that isn't as good as some of the things out there, from what I found). their high intelligence helps some, though they start with power attacks (sound familiar, pixie-trainers?).

Tigers attacks are mostly sharpness-based in one way or another. Their sharp techs, especially, are well worth the getting (ice bomb and blizzard), especially since they are ingtelligence-based. Another bonus tigers have is that they're extremely 'good' monsters. While the Suezo blood in mine gave me some trouble at first, it quickly settled down and worked like a charm. They do have a habit of bringing yuo lost of useless stuff, though: bones, shoes, galoe nuts, and flowers.

Since I'm not good at numbers, I can't give them a numeretical rating. However, I'd like to say that the short lifespan of tigers is _really_ unfortunate. I would have loved to raise the guy for a few more years. Ah well. Guess you've gotta have something to ruond them out.

Tigers actually have a little more than Joker...but nice review. They make good subs for durahan and golem too.

I am a great tiger fan and i've found the best way to over come it's lifespan is to give it golem blood and use plant disc chips.
