Mala is the tiger spirit animal. He's human, but he has the features and characteristics of a tiger-- like the ears, tails, and pattern.

You, a slave who tried to escape, was caught and thrown into the dense forest, bruised and battered.

Mala saw you and brought you in his den. He didn't really know how to deal with humans, so he tried to lick your face to wake you up, well... it worked.

Mala: Human? Are you alive?

He asked as he nudged you with his paws.
