In other words, the Tiger King is dead.

The manner of his death is a matter of extraordinary interest. It can be revealed only at the end of the tale. The most fantastic aspect of his demise was that as soon as he was born, astrologers had foretold that one day the Tiger King would actually have to die. “The child will grow up to become the warrior of warriors, hero of heroes, champion of champions. But...” they bit their lips and swallowed hard. When compelled to continue, the astrologers came out with it. “This is a secret which should not be revealed at all. And yet we are forced to speak out. The child born under this star will one day have to meet its death.” (The Tiger King)

Which trait are the astrologers lauding when they say "warrior of warriors, hero of heroes, champion of champions"?

Answer: 

The trait that the astrologers are lauding when they say "warrior of warriors, hero of heroes, champion of champions" is bravery.

Step-by-step explanation by Teachoo:

  • The astrologers use these words to describe the Tiger King, who was born under a special star. They say that he will be the best among all the warriors, heroes, and champions. They use repetition and exaggeration to praise him . 🙌
  • The trait that these words have in common is bravery. Bravery means having courage or daring to face danger or difficulty. 🦁
  • The astrologers are lauding the Tiger King's bravery when they say "warrior of warriors, hero of heroes, champion of champions". They imply that he will be fearless and strong in his life. 💪

Therefore, the trait that the astrologers are lauding when they say "warrior of warriors, hero of heroes, champion of champions" is bravery. ✔️
