- Snowstalker is an animal from the Beast Wars cartoon portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
The majestic predatory cat Snowstalker once prowled the distant frozen lands and mountaintops of prehistoric Earth. Like all members of her species she was typically a loner, but a chance encounter with the Maximals and Predacons would change her life... and also prematurely end it.
Fiction
Beast Wars cartoon

By a cruel twist of fate, in a heated battle with the Predacons an errant shot from Tigatron caused a rockslide on the mountain Snowstalker was climbing, and she was crushed to death.

Notes
- White tigers are an extremely rare product of recessive genes, and the very few individuals encountered in the wild have all inhabited humid tropical environments. Snowstalker (and thus Tigatron) may not represent a proper tiger as modern humans would envision, but, rather, another tiger-like big cat that in the subsequent four million years has gone extinct. If indeed Snowstalker is part of a contemporary species of tigers, then it is also possible that she would have been the product of inbreeding, since mating a cub with its mother can also produce white tigers.
- The Japanese dub changes the relationship between Tigatron and Snowstalker. Snowstalker is only identified as "Tiger Child" and given no gender. Instead of being an equal, Snowstalker was a youth whom Tigatron protected.
Foreign names
- Japanese: Tiger child (虎児童, Tora Jidou)
