Aunt Tiger or Auntie Tigress (Chinese: 虎姑婆; pinyin: Hǔ Gūpó; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Hó͘-ko͘-pô) is a Taiwanese folktale with many variations. The story revolves around a tiger spirit on the mountain who turns into an old woman, abducts children at night and devours them to satisfy her appetite. It is often used to coax children to fall asleep quickly. The most well-known version was compiled by Taiwanese writer Wang Shilang, where the setting of the story is in a Hakka settlement in Taiwan.[1][2]
