The '''Kougra''' is a [[Wikipedia:tiger|tiger]]-like [[Neopet]] introduced upon the [http://neopets.com/newfeatures/aug2000.phtml discovery of the 'Mystery Island'] as one of several potential pets, on August 3, 2000. As ''Tiger Cub'' it won the user vote and was released as a pet on August 9, 2000.

==Overview==
Kougras were first discovered in the deep forests of [[Mystery Island]] feasting on the exotic fruits found there. This would seem to indicate that their main [[wikipedia:frugivore|diet]] consists primarily of fruit instead of meat, unlike their real-life counterparts. Kougras have enormous paws that come in handy when they practice pouncing and playing with each other. Although Kougras enjoy to hunt it is mainly done for fun since once they have caught their target, they're never really sure what to do with it.
Originating from [[Mystery Island]], the Kougra's energetic nature combined with its large paws and pointy teeth make it a natural in the [[Battledome]]. These cheeky buggers love to pounce on unsuspecting playmates, so if you plan to introduce this Neopet to your family and friends, make sure that its playmates do not confuse the Kougra's playfulness for aggression.


The Kougra seems to have been modelled off of the tiger, with slight modifications to make it more appealing. These modifications include giving the Kougra large eyes and big paws, both of which are associated with youth, along with toning down the teeth and muscles that make natural tigers so intimidating. The Kougra also has notches in its ears and tufts in its fur, adding to the illusion of playfulness and spontaneity.
In the [[Neopets TCG]], they are associated with the element of Fire.


Kougras love to play and practice pouncing on each other, and can be very fierce if aggaravated, what with their long tails, hard claws, and razor sharp teeth. A Kougra can be extremely willful, headstrong, and pretty independent. Just like a real-life tiger, a Kougra is very clever and quite good at stalking.
==Battledome==
In the Battledome, Kougras have no natural resistances, however they do have six species [[abilities]]:
 
*''Kougra Scratch'' - Attack: 1 - 2 x Physical; Defence: none; available from level 1;
