  • The Hungry Tiger is a fictional character from The Oz books by L. Frank Baum. The Hungry Tiger is a massive beast who is friends with the Cowardly Lion. He is always hungry, no matter how much he eats, and longs to eat a "fat baby," though he never would because his conscience will not allow him to do so. He asks Nanda for permission to eat her, and when she declines, he asks for a large quantity of beefsteaks, potatoes, and ice cream. He wishes that a dentist could remove his appetite. At the banquet in the Emerald City at the end of Ozma of Oz, he acknowledges that he is finally full. The Hungry Tiger was introduced in Ozma of Oz as one of Ozma's chariot drivers (the other being the Cowardly Lion), though Jack Snow and others believe he may be "the biggest of the tigers" in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. In Chapter 18 of The Patchwork Girl of Oz, he is described as "the largest and most powerful of its kind," and having come from the forest where the Cowardly Lion ruled, that could be taken as an indirect statement that he is the same tiger that appeared in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. In the comic book The Oz/Wonderland Chronicles #1 (2006), the Hungry Tiger helps the Cowardly Lion and two Tin Woodmen chase Alice Liddell. article relating to the book "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz", the 1939 film "The Wizard of Oz" or one of their derivative works is a stub.

  • The Hungry Tiger is a massive beast who lives in the Land of Oz and a dear friend of the Cowardly Lion. The Hungry Tiger is large and lithe, with powerful limbs and dark purple stripes. His eyes burn like coals of fire. He is always hungry, no matter how much he eats, and he longs to devour a "fat baby," though he never would because his conscience will not allow him to do so. When the Hungry Tiger and the Cowardly Lion heard of Princess Ozma of Oz's ascension to the throne of Oz, they left the forest to visit the Emerald City. There, they joined Ozma's party, pulling her royal chariot, and set out on a mission to save the Royal Family of Ev from the Nome King. During the journey, the Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger bravely carried most of the party under the deadly hammer of the iron giant. When the adventure ended successfully, the Hungry Tiger stayed with his friend in the Emerald City. The Hungry Tiger joined Dorothy Gale, the Wizard of Oz, and the Cowardly Lion on their journey to find monkeys for their present to Ozma for her birthday. The two beasts are Ozma's chief guardians, and they keep guard in her Royal Throne Room. However, because everyone loves Ozma, there has never been a disturbance and there is nothing for the guardians to do.
