What is Tabaqui in Mowgli?

Tabaqui is a jackal, who was to be a minor antagonist in an early draft of the 1967 film The Jungle Book; he was cut from the film, although he did appear as the secondary antagonist of the 1998 film The Jungle Book: Mowgli’s Story.

Why did the animals hate Tabaqui?

The wolves disliked Tabaqui because he was always looking for food. They were afraid of him too, because he was cunning and had a bad temper. Sometimes he ran madly through the forest, biting everything in his way. When Tabaqui acted like that, even the fierce tiger, Shere Khan, stayed away from him.
