The Soul Tiger is a type of Zoid found in the Zoid: Genesis timeline. It has the same base design as the Rayse Tiger but serves a vastly different role, due to the differing setting. The Soul Tiger is depicted as an extremely agile Zoid that primarily fights using the special claws mounted on its feet. While it does have various other weapons, these are relatively ineffective against Bio Zoids, and as such, are not regularly used.
In the Zoids Genesis battle story, the Soul Tiger is a Zoid coming from the Ancient Era that predates the Age of Technology. There is no indication if it is a unique Zoid or not.
The Soul Tiger is unique to the Zoids: Genesis anime. It is piloted by Seijuurou, an extremely skilled, but reclusive, Zoid pilot, who is famed for winning a famous Zoid tournament ten times before retiring. For this he is often termed "the best Zoid pilot in the world".
A chance encounter brings him and Ruuji together, and, after his identity is revealed, Ruuji implores him to become his mentor. However, Seijuurou declines. The reason for this is that in one of his earlier tournaments, he took on an apprentice, a boy piloting a black Liger Zero (only shown very briefly in flashback), who was killed in a accident during one of the tournaments. Seijuurou blamed himself and thus refused to give support to Ruuji. Eventually, he does agree to train Ruuji, and while an extremely strict and unrelenting trainer, he grows to care for him greatly, even putting himself in harms way to protect him.
