Keibu Keioiba (Meitei: ꯀꯩꯕꯨ ꯀꯩꯑꯣꯏꯕ; Old Manipuri: ꯀꯩꯄꯨ ꯀꯩꯑꯣꯢꯄ; Bengali: কৈবু কৈওইবা) or Kabui Keioiba (Meitei: ꯀꯕꯨꯏ ꯀꯩꯑꯣꯏꯕ; Old Manipuri: ꯀꯄꯨꯢ ꯀꯩꯑꯣꯢꯄ; Bengali: কবুই কৈওইবা) is a mythical creature having a tiger head and the human body, often described as half man and half tiger in Meitei folklore and mythology. Legend says he was once a skilful priest named "Kabui Salang Maiba", who with his witchcraft, transfigured himself into the form of a ferocious tiger. As a punishment of his pride, he could not completely turn back to his original human form.
