Shere khan (2016 version)

Appearance: In contrast to his traditionally animated counterpart, this version of Shere Khan is more realistic in appearance, but appears to be larger than a normal Bengal tiger, displays a muscular physique and features hairs hanging from his jaw that are long enough to resemble a beard.

Compared to his animated incarnation, it is likely that Shere Khan is even larger than any big cat since male Bengal tigers in real-life are often longer than 12 feet and weight more than 500 pounds, implying that, due to his size, his appearance is based off an Ngandong tiger, an extinct subspecies of the modern tiger species.

Shere Khan displays noticeable burn scars on the left side of his face and snout after having a fight with Mowgli's father while his left eye is blind and milky white, something that his animated incarnation lacked in the original film.

Personality: This incarnation of Shere Khan is far more ruthless, manipulative, cold, sadistic, condescending and monstrous than his original counterpart. He is much less affable and polite than his original counterpart and is actually shown killing both a man and animal whereas his original counterpart never killed anyone (at least not on screen).

Like all of his past counterparts, Shere Khan possesses an immense and irrepressible hatred for humanity.

Shere Khan at first sight pretends to rescind the law of the jungle by demanding that Mowgli leave the jungle. However, his methods are not honorable as he's willing to use this same law for all the animals, including the pack, to turn against Mowgli when Mowgli wanted to use a burning pelt against the tiger. He also criticizes Akela and the wolves for protecting Mowgli under their care as it goes against the law and sought out to drag Mowgli back into the jungle so that he may kill him himself, despite the man-cub having already left the jungle. Ultimately, this shows that Shere Khan is a spiteful hypocrite that's willing to twist his rule when he sees fit. This is further made clear when Raksha calls him out for hunting for pleasure and killing for power, as he simply puts his grim smile instead of trying to defend himself and his point of view. Even further proof of this is how he's (indirectly) responsible for Mowgli haphazardly setting the jungle on fire, showing that this point, he no longer cares about upholding the jungle's laws, much less protecting the jungle itself or its inhabitants, just proving that he is undeniably right about humankind.

A despicable and ruthless individual, this tiger is known to hunt only for pleasure, to inspire fear, killing for power and to make anyone who dares to stand up to him suffer. This can be seen when he kills Akela for not doing what he says or trying to turn the cubs against Raksha with a mix of history and manipulation. The terrible reputation of Shere Khan is enough that all the animals present during the truce shrink back in fear with each step of the tiger.

He is utterly violent, bloodthirsty, and savage, so he mostly enjoys antagonizing and harassing Mowgli by not only gloating about him being a human but also gloating about his father's death as well as Akela's demise. He is attempting to make Mowgli afraid of him, and he briefly succeeds, but it does prove that the fear of him is what gives him the stage and the power to control the animals in the jungle.

As Mowgli confronted him and said that he is no longer afraid of Shere Khan, he roared on him, most likely because this claim made him angrier as Mowgli is taunting him and his power. A similar thing happened earlier, when Raksha stood up to him and called him "burnt beast", Shere Khan furiously growled at her.

Unlike his original incarnation, this version of Shere Khan: *Has little fear of fire. *Is a manipulator. *Is the ruler of the jungle. *Has scars on the left side of his face and a blind eye. *Doesn't act like a gentleman to hide his evil nature, despite remaining Faux Affably Evil. *Is more of a wild, violent, savage and deadly beast. *Has scenes with Bagheera and the wolf pack and has no scenes with Kaa. *Is responsible for the deaths of Mowgli's father and Akela. The original Shere Khan didn't kill anyone (at least not on the screen). *Is also much stronger as he was able to defeat Baloo, Bagheera and the wolf pack in combat. *Is one of the few immune to and unafraid of Kaa.

This version of Shere Khan is vastly stronger than his original novel and animated Disney incarnations.

Powerful and ferocious, Shere Khan is a very strong tiger both physically and mentally. In terms of physical strength, Shere Khan is undoubtedly one of the strongest creatures in the jungle, capable of defeating Baloo in a relatively short time, repelling the pack with a few powerful blows, defeating Bagheera and freeing himself from the wolves' assault successively and without getting tired. Shere Khan also has a muscular and solid body, capable of absorbing multiple hits and bites without too much damage. One of the things that can seriously hurt Shere Khan is fire. Like all tigers, Shere Khan has powerful fangs and claws, handy for wounding or killing. He can also climb trees thanks to his claws. Despite his blind eye, this does not hamper his fighting skills. Besides his physical abilities, Shere Khan's best weapons is his wicked spirit and his ability to cause fear among all the creatures of the jungle.

He is a tiger with four paws, two front paws and two hind paws. He has sharp black claws. Male tigers have keratin spikes on their penis that makes mating painful since it scratched the female's vaginal walls with each thrust. He will mount and bite the scruff of whoever he is mating, pinning them down to hold them in place as he mates. His roar is loud and deep, it reverberates throughout the jungle each time he roars.
