Monsters Related to: Brute Tigrex, Molten Tigrex, Grimclaw Tigrex, Zenith Tigrex, Flame Tigrex, and Diorex.

Physiology: Tigrex is a large, quadrupedal wyvern characterized by his massive head and jaws, powerful limbs and striking yellow/blue striped coloration. The top of his head is tipped with a pair of horn-like ears, and his segmented tail ends with a spiny protrusion. Out of all the flying wyverns, Tigrex is the only ancient one in appearance due to the fact that his ancestor is called Wyvern Rex.

Behavior: Figrex will usually attempt to intimidate would-be attackers with an ear-splintering roar. If combat becomes intense enough, he will flush blood on his forelimbs, head, and eyes, in order to give his skin a bright-red glow as an effort to further intimidate attackers.

Abilities: As a quadrupedal wyvern, his wings have evolved into forelimbs, which allow him to run at very fast speeds. Though he possesses a pair of adequately-developed wings, he is rarely seen flying in a traditional stance. He is in fact more prone to gliding from location to location. He has a powerful set of lungs which gives him the ability to produce extremely loud, concussive roars which can physically damage nearby objects. He does not have an element, like Monoblos and his kin, but he is known to use his sheer brute strength and ear-shattering roar to bring down opportunities.

Why he is my favorite?
-in Rise, he personifies the Yamabiko yokai from Japanese Mythology, which is a strange-looking creature that mimics the sounds of humans, cars, amd trains. This is seen with Tigrex's roar.
-his weapons are useful.
-he is a fun and satisfying challenge.
