About the Black Tiger Lord

Beneath the altar on 1F · Wards off evil

Tiger lords are guardian spirits found in many Taiwanese temples, usually enshrined beneath the altar, where they guard the temple and the people who come to pray. Legend has it that Baosheng Dadi once removed a bone stuck in a tiger’s throat, and the tiger stayed by his side from then on as his guardian.


At Cho Yuu Temple, the Black Tiger Lord sits beneath the altar on the first floor, warding off evil for pets and keeping them safe wherever they go. Before a long trip, a move or any big change, ask the Tiger Lord to watch over your pet.
