Shere Khan

Shere Khan (originally voiced by George Sanders and Tony Pope, currently voiced by Maurice LaMarche) is a tiger and the main antagonist of the 1967 Disney movie ''The Jungle Book. ''Shere Khan is the menace of the jungle, beginning (like most Disney villains) as a sort of elegant evil, and eventually going savage at the end of the movie. Khan has a hatred for humans, and seeks to kill Mowgli solely for that reason. He has competition from Kaa, who at one point tries to hide the man-cub (whom he has hypnotized into his clutches) from him while talking to Shere Khan. Shere Khan and Mowgli eventually have a showdown, with the vultures and Baloo helping out and Baloo getting scratched up in the process. But Mowgli beats the tiger by tying a flaming stick to his tail, and the big pussy cat's afraid of fire, so he runs away. He returns with a vengeance in 2003's The Jungle Book 2, but this time he's killed.
