Usually, there are two mice who dance in this costume for the New Years parade, but this year the mouse that holds up the back end of the tiger costume was sick. So, its partner gets to have all the fun, dancing in the parade, eating all the candy, nearly getting squished by a multitude of Onyx Mallet traps set out by hunters. . . On second thought, maybe the sick mouse was the luckier partner after all.
Mouse ID#: 42

History and Trivia

  • The amount of gold (888) awarded on catching a Costumed Tiger mouse reflects the belief of the number eight being considered "lucky" in Chinese culture; a sequence of a "lucky" number is considered even more favorable!
  • Re-released on 10 February 2011 as part of the Heart of the Rabbit event, they were located in the Town of Gnawnia and Training Grounds for the first time, where they dropped the Tiger Mask as loot.
  • Costumed Tiger mice were re-released on 23 January 2012 as part of the Year of the Dragon Festival. It was during this event that the use of Firecracker Charms to attract them was introduced.
