neopets      kougra

Kougras were discovered in the deep forests of Mystery Island, feasting on the exotic fruits also found their. One of the Kougra's favorite games to play is coconut bowling, and they just love to practice pouncing on each other. What else would those enormous paws be good for?

The Kougra resembles a small tiger. Kougras come from the Neopian world of Mystery Island, where they enjoy eating fruit despite their carnivorous appearance. Kougras are very friendly and playful. The stripes on their bodies serve to camouflage them in the wilderness, and they enjoy pouncing on moving objects - although, they're never quite sure what to do with their prey once it's been caught.

Kougras were released on August 10, 2000, after winning a contest for the pet from the newly discovered Mystery Island the day before. (See the Old Kougra.) They were redesigned in the summer of 2004, but many players were unhappy with the Kougra's makeover. In August 2004, they were given the opportunity to vote on a second redesign of the species.

In the Neopets TCG, Kougras are associated with the element of fire. As of June 2007, Kougras are rated the 2nd most popular species out of 50+ with over 12 million created. April 22nd is Kougra Day. A famous Kougra is Rorru, the Mystery Island Haiku Generator.
