Ahh Tigrex, one of the most iconic and beloved wyverns in MH. I like Tigrex really much. It has a cool design with its tiger like stripes of blue on its orange body. The colors really stand out, which I think is pretty cool. The roar is also one of the best roars of all times in MH and you really get the feeling how powerful this monsters is just by hearing it.

Its attack style is pretty straight forward: It tires its best to simply crush you with brute force, it charges at you and turns around when it misses, it tries to bite you, it tries to jump on you, it throws rocks at you and it spins around on the spot to prevent you from hitting it. Once it goes enraged, stuff gets real, it gets this super awesome looking change where its veins start to show and the eyes turn from blue to red. Already enough to show you that you're gonna have a bad time because you enrage it. Its attacks become faster and stronger, giving the feal that this beast is reckesly out for your blood.

I do however like Tigrex's rework in MH4. In FU Tigrex used to be a real pain in the ass, because it dealt way more damage than was good the game experience and once you enraged it, you better spammed those flash bombs or run around doing nothing, or else Tigrex would just straight up murder you. I like the way Tigrex is in 4U, the damage is toned down enough to not give you the feeling you just ruined your day by choosing Tigrex, but it is still high enough to make you fear Tigrex as an opponent that will punish you really hard if you mess things up.
