In-Game Information

Taxonomy
Tigrex Rare Species is a quadrupedal Flying Wyvern and a subspecies of Tigrex.

Habitat Range
So far this species of wyvern has only been seen inhabiting the Tower Top.

Ecological Niche
Like its two relatives these wyverns are top predators in their environment. Species such as Aptonoth and other herbivores are common prey for the wyverns. While powerful the Tigrex Rare Species competes with other deadly predators such as Silver Rathalos and Kushala Daora in the ruins of the Tower. But with its large size, strength, and devastating Blast Ailment at its side these wyverns can easily fight on par with the other predators in its environment.

Biological Adaptations
The Tigrex Rare Species has many of the same attributes of its relatives (powerful jaws, claws,etc.) but diffiers that it is capable of using the powerful blast ailment. This ability is due to the strange crimson powder covering its scales that explodes when covering an opponent, much like the slime mold of the Brachydios. The claws of these Tigrex are also capable of acting as flints to ignite the explosive powder even when charging an enemy.

Behavior
Tigrex Rare Species are highly aggressive predators that will relentlessly attack enemies whether they be other monsters or hunters. In fact this creature is so deadly and powerful that few hunters are allowed to even hunt it.
