Watching silently, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike...
Many millenia ago, there was a war between twelve powerful beasts. One of them was the great Tiger God, Taigayoi. He was perhaps the most opportunistic of the warriors, as he would wait until his prey was most vulnerable, then strike. Some of the warriors called him cowardly, but he preferred the term stealthy.
As the other beasts made creatures of their own, Taigayoi decided to do so as well. From his whiskers, he created the Tiger Clan. The Tiger Clan had a keen sense of stealth, and would wait until the perfect moment to strike at the other clans. They were so silent that some would never know they existed.
