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.

Famous quotes containing the words hungry and/or tiger:

    There, through the broken branches, go
    The ravens of unresting thought;
    Flying, crying, to and fro,
    Cruel claw and hungry throat,
    Or else they stand and sniff the wind....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    As a tiger may lose its footing on soft ground, so people may be tripped up by sweet words.
    Chinese proverb.
