Shere Khan makes his first physical appearance 2/3rds through the film, where he is stalking a deer as prey. Unlike the first film, his polite mannerisms and calm monologues are a rarity, as his bitterness and hatred towards Mowgli drive him to deeper madness, resulting in action being taken much quicker and having no comedic quirks. In the sequel, Shere Khan's personality and overall aura take a somewhat darker turn. With such anger and rage, Shere Khan's normally somber and collected demeanor can become murderous, bloodthirsty, and feral in a matter of moments, as seen during his first confrontation with Mowgli in the original film, as he was willing to kill both the man-cub, and any animal who dared to protect him, without hesitation. Khan's fear of fire is the most dominant of the two and acts as a crippling phobia capable of driving the tiger to immediate panic.
According to Bagheera, Khan hates man "with a vengeance", with both man's gun and man's fire having been involved in the creation of such hatred. It has been strongly implied that Shere Khan sees humans as unforgiving, and soulless creatures who continuously cause havoc on nature, using narcissistic entitlement as justification for such acts. Shere Khan holds a burning hatred for mankind and vows to kill any human that steps foot within the jungle. The only moments where he's seen emoting otherwise is during his interrogations with potential victims, in which he speaks with a soft tone, coupled with a condescending and knowing smile, as he subtly taunts and emotionally torments his prey until he's ready to make the killing strike. Most, if not all residents of the jungle, are known to fear Shere Khan, and for reasons apparent: he is physically imposing, often seen with a stoic, menacing expression. With a dignified manner of carrying himself, and a strong sense of pride and elegance, the ruthless tiger is viewed as the uncorroborated ruler of the jungles of India he is well aware of this reputation, as he takes advantage of it sadistically. Shere Khan acts as the physical embodiment of power and composure.
Personality "Oh, please don't insult my intelligence. Despite this, in the DVD scenes of Jungle Cubs: Born to be Wild, Baloo, now an adult, says that while Khan would "first eat and then ask questions" he doesn't do it out of malice, implying that like the other predators Khan simply hunts to survive. Shere Khan then lost his friends, who would become his enemies from that moment forward. But at some undetermined time, Shere Khan became a vicious predator, feared by all the inhabitants of the jungle. The group went on many adventures together. Despite this, Khan always acted tough as he thought the other animals wouldn't respect him anymore if they think he is soft. He was also shown to be very affectionate and loving toward his old grandmother. Nonetheless, he was shown many times to be fond of his friends and often act protective of them when there was danger and in many episodes he even saved their lifes. However, he was pretty egotistical and cocky, which sometimes led to his friends bailing him out. As a cub, Shere Khan was best friends with Baloo, Bagheera, Louie, Hathi, and Kaa.
