Hungry Tiger
The Hungry Tiger is a large, ferocious beast. Like his companion the Cowardly Lion, he serves as Ozma's bodyguard and beast of burden. He is always very, very hungry, and always professes a desire to eat a fat baby, which he never gets around to doing. In The Hungry Tiger of Oz, he is hired as a prison guard to eat prisoners, but he cannot do it.
