"Whether born naturally or afflicted with the curse of lycanthropy, weretigers are lycanthropes who can switch between humanoid and tiger form. They are one of the most feared types of lycanthrope."
― Weretiger (Path Finder)
"Weretigers are egomaniacs with a natural talent for controlling others with fear and awe, a talent they usually use to reign over the humans they think of as slaves and cattle for the slaughter. Their indisputable power and animal magnetism makes it surprisingly easy for human populations to acquiesce to their rule; many a citizen has called a weretiger impossible to overthrow, and dangerous but not insufferable because she primarily hunts dissidents. Indeed, weretigers often only seek other human prey every few months to keep the rabble afraid. Some infect important servants to act as temporary proxies before exiling or killing them when their usefulness ends. Weretigers favor weretiger-kin as lackeys, as the former think of the latter as lesser (and less threatening) versions of themselves.
Although not as disciplined as werebears, weretigers are relatively patient and interested in exploiting every advantage they can to achieve overwhelming power. They sometimes operate as infamously ruthless killers for hire if they cannot establish themselves as rulers immediately."
― Weretigers (d20pfsrd)
