Tai Lung is the main antagonist of DreamWorks' 16th full-length animated feature film Kung Fu Panda, the first installment of the Kung Fu Panda franchise, and a supporting character in the 2024 sequel, Kung Fu Panda 4.
He is a mighty snow leopard who was Shifu's former student, adoptive son and arch-enemy, Tigress' adoptive older brother, Peng's uncle and was originally trained by Shifu hoping to become the Dragon Warrior. However, when Oogway denied him the Dragon Scroll, Tai Lung ravaged the Valley of Peace, leading him to be defeated and sent away in prison before returning to face the true Dragon Warrior.
