He said, 'Let's get a triangle going between these three characters' and he's obviously a guy who knows what he's doing. Jelenic explained that "When we were very early in development, we pitched the show to Peter Roth, the President of Television for Warner Brothers, and the love triangle was the one thing he cued in on immediately. To add to Tygra's dark jealousy issues, creators used a love triangle between Tygra, Lion-O and Cheetara. Reviewer noted that it is "potent seeds for an eventual villainous turn.". And the way we did that was we made him the adopted brother of Lion-O." In this series, during his whole life, Tygra was in his younger brother's shadow and it created sibling rivalries.

So the way we addressed that was to get away from him being the architect, or the scientist, of the series and tried to expand on his character. He was someone we had a lot of concern about because he, unlike everyone else, was someone people might say didn't 'pop' as much. In an interview with IGN, Michael Jelenic noted "I guess 'The Scientist' is what a lot of fans call him. Where creators Ted Wolf and Leonard Starr described Panthro's character as being based on "strength" and Cheetara's character as being based on "speed", Tygra's character was described as being based on "integrity". In the 2020 iteration of ThunderCats, Tygra is a mentor to Lion-O. Tygra's weakness is that he is not able to swim when not invisible also, Tygra has shown to be easily influenced by external stimuli more than any other ThunderCat ("The Garden of Delights", "Turgamar the Tuska" and "Crystal Canyon") he claimed to be shy as a kid.
In the episode "All That Glitters", Lion-O instructs Tygra, "If I do not return, you will be the new Lord of the ThunderCats." This verifies that Tygra is second-in-command. He uses a whip-like bolas in combat, with which he can render himself invisible to the naked eye. He is gifted with "mind-power"-the ability to create lifelike illusions in other people’s minds he used this for Lion-O's Anointment Trial, but it puts a great strain on him. Patient, analytic and calm, Tygra is the most quiet ThunderCat, and usually considers every part of the problem before making a decision. He is responsible for the design of ThunderCat structures on Third Earth-the Cat’s Lair and the Tower of Omens. He is the one Lion-O often turns to as second-in-command and for counsel. Based on the tiger, Tygra is known as the ThunderCat architect and scientist. Tygra is a staunch, level-headed warrior.
