The Tiger Miraculous is a panjas bracelet that, whenever Roaar inhabits it, transforms the wearer into a tiger-themed superhero with the power of Elation.[1]
To activate the panjas bracelet, the user must speak the transformation phrase: "Stripes On". To deactivate the panjas bracelet, the user must speak the detransformation phrase, which is currently unknown.
In "Destruction", Gabriel used a laser machine to melt down the Miraculous into a pile of dust, and then reforged it into a special Alliance ring for transferring Roaar's power of Elation to any Akumatized villain who wore a regular Alliance ring.
In "Re-creation", after Marinette Dupain-Cheng manages to recover all of the Miraculous that were previously stolen, she restores the Tiger Miraculous back to its original form and she gives it back to Juleka permanently.
The Tiger Miraculous, when inhabited by Roaar, is a moderate orchid panjas bracelet that has a center spherical object with a yellow tiger paw print on it that slightly resembles the Cat Miraculous. On one side, there are four rose gold chains attached to it connected to a ring of the same color each. Another rose gold chain is attached to the opposite side of the jewel that connects to a large, rose gold hoop which serves as the bracelet part. If a minor is using the miraculous, the panjas bracelet starts running out of power, they make a beeping sound, and the paw prints disappear one at a time as an indication of how munch time (one print is equivalent to one minute) Juleka (or another Tiger Miraculous holder) has left.
In its activated mode, the tiger paw print becomes black.[2]
In its camouflage mode, the panjas bracelet changes color and form depending on whose possession it's in:
The Miraculous' camouflaged from when worn by Gabriel.
The Miraculous' camouflaged form when worn by Marinette.
The Miraculous' camouflaged form when worn by Chloé.

In the possession of Juleka Couffaine, it bears a resemblance to the activated form of the Miraculous, although with the chain, rings and bracelet are black and sported a purple jewel that is attached to all chains.[3]
When it was worn by Gabriel Agreste, it consisted of a silver band with an indent, connected to a single chain ending in a single silver ring.[4]
When it was worn by Chloé Bourgeois, it resembled a gold, full chain panjas bracelet with a triangular jewel that connected the bracelet through its base and the part of the ring attached to a gold chain that was connected at the apex.[5]
When it was worn by Marinette Dupain-Cheng, it consisted of a bronze circle connected to three chains, the ends of which met in a single bronze ring. The central chain had three strong aquamarine stones.[6]
In its reforged ring form, it was a thick band with a circular surface, similar to the Cat Miraculous, inside of it was the symbol of the Tiger Miraculous which glowed fuchsia. It used to sit on the little finger of Gabriel's left hand.
Abilities[]
The Tiger Miraculous has the ability to transform its wielder into a tiger-themed superhero, granting its wielder incredible superhuman powers of speed, endurance, agility, stamina and strength. It also makes the user nearly invulnerable.
Its special weapon is an unbreakable Bolas, a whip-like weapon with three weighted, striped balls on one end; it can be worn as a belt when not in use, functioning akin to a tail. This can be also be utilized as both a weapon, a communicator, and an object that can be used to breathe underwater. Its special superpower is named Clout, which gives the user the ability to charge their fist with powerful energy and gain a 'sudden burst of energy, courage, or fighting spirit[7]. In order to obtain their goal, like defeating a villain. When they punch something, the energy is released through a massive force in which, when it comes in contact with a target, causes a shockwave. The target is overwhelmed by the force and blown back, rendered helpless. As long as the superpower isn't used by a minor, the wielder can remain transformed indefinitely. However, as soon as the superpower is used, the wielder loses power and the transformation wears off in about approximately five minutes. The panjas bracelet also has the ability to give the wielder the costume they truly desire.

History[]
The Tiger Miraculous was created thousands of years ago by an Unnamed mage.
For an unknown reason, the Tiger's concept in the English dub is Elation, and Exaltation in the French dub.
Tiger symbolizes willpower, courage, and personal strength.
Panjas bracelets, more often called slave bracelets or hand chains, have become popular accessories in the Gothic subculture.
"Panja" is a Hindi word that originates from the Persian panje, and means "hand", "paw", or "claw".
The charged mode of the Tiger Miraculous looks similar to a tiger's paw when they have their claws out.
Due to an animation error, when Juleka transforms, the tiger paw is pointing the wrong direction. The claws are supposed to point down toward the bracelet, instead they point up toward the rings.
The Tiger Miraculous shares some similarities with the Cat Miraculous:
They are Miraculous of two felines: a Cat and a Tiger since cats and tigers are related in the Felidae Family Genus.
They are both jewels worn on their hands.
Their powers don't require the tools to be activated.
Both create a destructive/powerful force that is fused in their hands.
Both powers come from their Miraculous.
Their respective holders have a confident demeanor.
The favorite foods their respective kwamis like, have a pungent odor.
Both Miraculous symbols are paws.
But while the Cat paw is blunt, the Tiger paw is sharper probably to illustrate that tigers are wildcats. However, Cataclysm is more destructive than Clout.
The Tiger Miraculous also shares some similarities with the Bee and Ladybug:
All three have identical transformation phrases.
The holders' respective suits are covered with black decorations, such as spots, bee stripes and tiger prints respectively.
All three have whipping/flail weapons, the Ladybug Miraculous Yo-yo, the Bee Miraculous Spinning Top and the Tiger Miraculous bolas.
The holders of these miraculous had to find their confidence. For Marinette, she had to learn self-love[8], for Zoé, she had to find faith in herself, and for Juleka, she had to find her inner voice.
