Tigger is an always happy and excited fellow and the only known member of the tigger species. Tiggers are striped and bouncing animals who live in the Hundred Acre Wood. Unlike Pooh Bears, they don't like honey, they prefer to eat pop corn, ice cream and candies. His best friends are Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, Rabbit, Gopher, Eeyore, Roo, Owl, Christopher Robin and Kanga.

Tigger is introduced in the book The House at Pooh Corner. In the book, he lives in the kangaroos' house, but in the cartoons he lives in a tree-house of his own. Tigger loves to bounce through the forest and to call everyone "Buddy". He also gives nicknames to some of his friends, like Rabbit, who he often calls "Long Ears".

He believes tiggers can do everything and describes almost every activity as "That's what Tiggers do best!". He often mispronounce words and sometimes create neologisms like "Tiggerific". He also has at least two alter egoes: the disguised hero known as "The Masked Offender" and the detective "Tigger, Private Ear".

He was voiced by Paul Winchell until 1999, and is now voiced by Jim Cummings. In the series My Friends Tigger & Pooh, Tigger is one of four members of the mystery-solving group known as the "Super Sleuths," along with Pooh, Darby and her dog, Buster.

Tigger's like or dislike for honey tends to vary based on the series that he appears in. In Winnie the Pooh's Bedtime Stories, it is commented that "Pooh had much preferred the days when Tigger had thought he didn't like honey. It had meant much larger portions for Pooh."

Tigger is also the usual character to break the fourth wall. In almost every episode of a TV series, he reminds the audience about something.
