Dawon
Durga riding on Dawon. They cooperated each other and confronting Mahishasura.

Dawon[citation needed], a sacred tigress (sometimes drawn as a lioness) originated from Tibetan legend but was later adapted to Hindu mythology. In the later myth, it was offered by gods to serve goddess Durga or Parvati as mount for rewarding her victory. As Durga fought with ten weapons wielded on her arms. Dawon supported its mistress and attacked the foes with its claws and fangs. Also the threatening tiger represented power from the wars she had won over all enemies.
