Shere Khan is a fictional Bengal tiger and the main antagonist of Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book and its adaptations. According to The Kipling Society, the word shere (or shir) translates as 'tiger', and khan is a title of distinction, used together "to show that he is the chief among tigers. Baloo:"This is the law of the jungle, as old and as true as the sky."
Shere Khan: What is this?
Baloo: "The wolf that keeps it may prosper"
Baloo and Bagheera: "... but the wolf that breaks it will die ."
Shere Khan: You fools.
Baloo, Bagheera and Raksha: "Like the creeper that girdles the tree trunk, the law runneth over and back."
Shere Khan: Fine! Rise up, all of you! You want to put yourselves between me and the man-cub?!
Baloo, Bagheera and Raksha: "For the strength of the pack is the wolf..."
Baloo, Bagheera, Raksha and Mowgli: [further joined by the other wolves] "... and the strength of the wolf is the pack!"
Shere Khan: I will have you ALL IN MY TEETH!

From The Jungle Book - based on Rudyard Kipling's eponymous collective works.
