Shere Khan

Shere Khan is the primary villain of The Jungle Book. A powerful, suave tiger, Shere Khan has nothing but disdain for his victims. His reputation is such that he need only show himself to intimidate the inhabitants of the jungle. His only fear is fire, which the man-cub Mowgli uses to his advantage in the film's climactic battle.

Shere Khan appeared, in a more anthropomorphic form, in the television series Tale Spin. His character, while still villainous, had taken on a more corporate identity.
