The Kougra (a homophone of cougar, an American big cat) is a tiger-like Neopet introduced August 3, 2000 upon the discovery of the 'Mystery Island' as one of several potential pets. As Tiger Cub it won the user vote and was released as a pet on August 9, 2000.

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 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.

In the Neopets Trading Card Game, they are associated with the element of Fire.
