Tigers are special units in the Dynasty Warriors series. They can be used as an additional bodyguard for players when equipped with a Tiger Collar or Siberian Collar.

They are often invincible enemy units. Its height reaches to about slightly higher than half of a normal troop's height. Its attacks are a low-powered paw swipe, and a powerful roaring Musou attack that sends an upward blast of fire against foes surrounding it. The tiger is the subject to many gimmicks in the series. Wu is mostly represented by a tiger. Sun Jian was also known as the "Tiger of Jiang Dong" and in Dynasty Warriors 5, he and two of his sons, Sun Ce and Sun Quan, wore robes with tiger skin.

The trove will be guarded by a generic bandit leader using the amazons' appearance and moves, and she will be guarded by four tiger bodyguards. Defeating her quickly enough will allow a tiger to be a player's bodyguard. As an officer, the Tiger will only increase the player's attack. His skills are Horsemen, which is an exclusive ability to the Tiger, but is also a useless one, Wings, which allows the player to jump during charge attacks and Roar+ which lowers enemy morale.
