He is known for his distinctive orange colour with black stripes, large eyes, a long chin, a springy tail, and his love of bouncing. As he says himself, "Bouncing is what Tiggers do best." Tigger never refers to himself as a tiger, but as a "Tigger". Although
he often refers to himself in the third person plural (e.g. "Tiggers don't like honey!"), he maintains that he is "the only one".

Tigger is introduced in Chapter II of ''

In addition to chapter II, Tigger also appears in Chapters IV, VI, VII, IX, and X of ''The House at Pooh Corner'', and is mentioned and seen in Chapter V. He is the only new major character to be introduced in ''The House at Pooh Corner''; all of the others had been established in the earlier book,
''Winnie-the-Pooh''.
Depiction and personality traits
In
Ernest H. Shepard's illustrations, Tigger appears to bounce and he is capable of holding a pen with one of his front paws. Though Tigger is described by Rabbit and Piglet as "large", he does not seem particularly big in the illustrations. Pooh states once "He always seems bigger because of his bounces", implying that the other animals think of Tigger as being larger than he truly is.
That assessment fits very well with Tigger's personality and his assessment of his own abilities, which he always overestimates. He is cheerful, outgoing, competitive in a friendly way, and has complete confidence in himself. Some of the things which he claims Tiggers can do in the chapter "In which it is shown That Tiggers don't climb trees" include flying, jumping farther than a
kangaroo
Kangaroos are marsupials from the family Macropodidae (macropods, meaning "large foot"). In common use, the term is used to describe the largest species from this family, the red kangaroo, as well as the antilopine kangaroo, eastern gre ...
, swimming, and climbing trees. He never actually attempts any of the first three things in the course of the story, but he does try to climb a tree. He only succeeds half-way, being able to climb up but not to climb down again.
Tigger also says Tiggers "never get lost"; unlike most of his other claims, this one seems to be true - he is able to find his way through the Forest even in a thick mist, despite Rabbit's attempts to lose him.
Like most of the characters in Winnie-the-Pooh, Tigger was based on one of
Christopher Robin Milne
Christopher Robin Milne (21 August 1920 – 20 April 1996) was an English author and bookseller and the only child of author A. A. Milne. As a child, he was the basis of the character Christopher Robin in his father's Winnie-the-Pooh stories ...
's stuffed animals, in this case a stuffed-toy tiger. However, the word "tiger" is never actually used in the book. The term "Tigger" is used instead, both as the character's name and as a description of his type of animal. No other "Tiggers" appear in the story, and at one point Tigger (who has just seen his reflection in a

Personality traits
Tigger's personality in the cartoons is much like his personality in the book.

He is very confident and possesses high self-esteem to the point of

. Also, he often undertakes tasks with gusto, only to later realize they were not as easy as he had originally imagined. As in the books, Tigger never refers to himself as a tiger, but as a "Tigger". When Tigger introduces himself, he often says the proper way to spell his name and that is "T-I-double-Guh-Er", which spells "Tigger".
Tigger's language is full of
malapropisms, mispronunciations, or unnecessary/incorrect emphasis on syllables. Examples of this include him pronouncing "villain" as "villian"; "terrible" as "terribibble"; "regulations" as "regularations"; "ridiculous" as "ridickerous" (or "ricky-diculus" in ''Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day''); "allergic" as "allergical"; "recognize" as "recoganize"; "suspicious" as "suspicerous"; "Eureka" as "Topeka".
A declaration often made, is that ''"Tiggers are wonderful things. Their tops are made out of rubber, their bottoms are made out of springs."'' In cartoon, he's often depicted bouncing around in ways which would make such a statement appear to be valid.

Subsequently, Tigger resumed his role as the Masked Offender, and saved his friends.
It's also shown that Tigger will jump in to help without thinking about the danger to himself. On at least three occasions, he has nearly fallen off a cliff, and ''has'' fallen two of those times, to retrieve something important (Half of the map in ''
