Neon Tiger, known as Shining Tigerd (シャイニング・タイガード) in Japan, is a Maverick from the X era, appearing as one of the main bosses in Mega Man X3. He is a light-themed Reploid based on a tiger, who ambushes targets with his beam claws and light shots. He was formerly a poacher hunter in Dopple Town before he was infected by the Sigma Virus.

In the Games

Mega Man X3

Sprite from Mega Man X3.

Neon Tiger debuts in Mega Man X3 as one of the eight Mavericks on the Stage Select screen. He serves as the boss of Safari Park Stage. The Japanese game manual states that he was created to protect the small remaining number of natural animals from poachers in a safari park, but has now gone Maverick.[2]

Neon Tiger attacks from the walls, and while he doesn't move too quickly, his attack trajectories can be difficult to avoid. Defeating Tiger grants X the Ray Splasher. His weakness is the Spinning Blade, from Crush Crawfish, which stuns him and makes him retreat to a wall. A boss attack rematch with Neon Tiger later occurs in Doppler Stage C.

Mega Man Xtreme 2

Sprite from Mega Man Xtreme 2.

In Mega Man Xtreme 2, Neon Tiger returns as a resurrected Maverick guardian of Laguz Island. He is one of the four bosses in X Mission, being the boss of Jungle Stage.

Neon Tiger is later part of the boss attack in the Sigma Stage in Extreme Mode.
