Some of Tiggers friends include; Roo, Kanga, Pooh, Rabbit, Owl, Piglet, Eeore, Hellelump, Owl, Christopher Robin, and many other friends the gang makes on their journies.
He is easily recognised by his orange and black stripes, beady eyes, a long chin, a springy tail, and his bouncy personality. As he says himself, "Bouncing is what Tiggers do best".
Tigger is very confident and often undertakes tasks with gusto, only to later realise that they were not as easy as he had originally imagined. When Pooh met Tigger (in the book), he had trouble finding food that Tigger would eat - however the problem was soon solved when Tigger tasted extract of malt, which Kanga gave to Roo as medicine. In the more original drawings of Tigger he looks a lot less cute and cuddly than the Tigger we know today from Disney, as do all the characters.
An interesting quirk about Tigger is that, according to his theme song, "the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is I'm the only one." This song leads to his search for his nondescript family in The Tigger Movie.
