When I first saw them I thought they may be used like neko-te, which ninjas use to make it look like an animal killed the victim, but yeah, these are completely historical.

They look like a very cool unit. If I'm correct, they are a Jaguar Prowler merc, right?

Look to your left...do you see three guys. One is a Chinese Blue Guy, One is a Japanese Samurai or something, but then there is an Indian dude with four claws. Now go back here... http://www.ageofempires3.com/asiandynasties/consulates.html
Look at the mercenaries and look at the Tiger Claw unit. He has three claws. Turn back to the first three guys I asked you to see. The Indian guy has four claws and the claw material seems different, and shinier and stronger and all that.
Now if you notice the difference tell me this...Are they different units? Or are they the same units, and one is just better painted?
I believe the four claw dude is a hero and not a Tiger Claw!

Its probably not this, but what if the merc was able to upgrade. Now that would be interesting!

Cherub is probably right, though if TAD introduced the ability to upgrade mercs that would be amazing.

I'm not too sure upgradable mercs are a great idea. They're good enough in age 3, and aren't really meant to be used in late ages. Besides, it won't historically accurate to have mercs in imperial age or something.

I think merc upgrades would be awesome too. I mean after i compared the Tiger Claw to the 4 claw dude I was like/..WHAT THE F@#$...It would be cool to see mercenaries upgrade...or maybe that is just some India barracks unit which also has claws...maybe
