History
Tiger's Eye peered into the dreams of Naru Osaka, using her to draw out Pegasus. When Sailor Moon and her partner Sailor Chibi Moon moved to stop him, he loosed Otedamako on the pair. As the Lemures gained the upper hand, Sailor Chibi Moon summoned Pegasus, and Tiger's Eye tried to trap the winged horse with a cage borrowed from Hawk's Eye, only to fail badly. Tuxedo Mask then struck Otedamako, letting Super Sailor Moon end her with Moon Gorgeous Meditation. Notably, she ranked among the rare Lemures smitten with Tuxedo Mask, blushing whenever his roses landed in her hair.
